If you're reading this, please stop for just a minute and STAND UP!

Stretch your arms over your head!

Swing them around! 

Jump around and wiggle a little bit - no one's watching.

Then bend forward and reach for your toes.

Stand back up, and roll your neck around.

Twist your upper body from side to side.

Take a lunge or two...or twenty.

Do it again a couple more times! 

Add in some cartwheels or backbends or handstands or down dogs or killer dance moves or whatever YOUR body is craving.

Wherever YOU feel tight right now, just lean into it, breathe into it, and stretch it out, shake it out, and have a bit of fun!

Then come back to the computer and keep on scrolling through your feed or writing all that code or building those websites or watching porn or whatever you're doing online. 

Sitting all day every day is really harsh on the body, which can affect the mind and your spirit too.*
 

We are not robots yet! We need to take a break to get the kinks out and the blood flowing! It doesn't have to be complicated or "perfect" or some weird pretzely yoga move, just MOVE!

Just a couple minutes of conscious, playful stretching here and there makes a SIGNIFICANT difference in how you feel.

We have important work to do here, Earthlings - I really hope for you to feel your very best! 

Here's a song that's obviously not mine to use for inspiration/as a little stretchy stretch timer:

💛 Sara!

*do you want some Science or studies or videos or something about why sitting still for long periods of time is detrimental? I can give you all you want, but it really doesn't have to be that hard. Just gauge a before and after of yourself, and if you feel better after a short stretch, then that's really all there is to it. Why not do more of the things that make you feel better in a day, especially when they're super easy and accessible?!
