The body scan is a great idea Karl! I know I will work much happier when I’m not hunched over!

I think you hit the key point, awareness.

A little mindfulness and awareness can really go a long way.

Hi Karl, a couple of years ago the lady I go to for occasional massage therapy gave me a printout of “desk stretches” to do at work. It was pinned to my wall for a long time. It really did make a difference. I work at home now and I am so bad with the bad posture at my desk. Sometimes I sit there for hours without getting up. Not good! Thanks for the reminder.

Hi Lance, giving our physical body a little attention will give us knowledge that will magnify our work happiness.

Hi GinaFred, yes. A little deep breathing is a great way to get in touch with your bodies and relieve stress.

Hi Karen, great! Let me know how it feels.

What a wonderful way to “grab” stress before it grabs us. I will implement it at once.

I do something similar to the “body scan” and include some deep breathing as a destressor. When I do this during the workday, I find that I don’t bring my work-related tensions home.

Hi Karl,

It sure can be easy to get “caught up” in whatever it is we’re doing – and lose focus on our bodies. I know I have. This is a great reminder to take some time to focus on our whole self. Afternoon sounds like a great time for something like this, to break up the lull we may have slipped into (inadvertently) and to give our physical body a little attention. I liking the sound of this!
