Sit tall in your chair. If possible, turn away from the computer monitor, or even better, shut it off. Silence your phone and any other devices in the room. Look out of the window or at something beautiful in your space. Slip your shoes off if you can, and feel your feet flat on the floor. Let your spine grow long. Take a deep breath in through your nostrils and let it out slowly through your nostrils. Relax your jaw. Release your tongue. Ease your eyes.

Take another deep breath IN, and at the same time roll your shoulders UP towards your ears. On the EXHALE, roll your shoulders BACK and down (let the shoulder blades try to kiss each other.) Do this three to five times, inhaling as you roll your shoulders up towards your ears, and exhaling as you roll your shoulders all the way back and down. Set an alarm, and do this exercise for one minute every hour. You will have less stress, more energy, better clarity, and more ease in your day.
