Try this at your desk and feel the shift instantly
You don’t need a yoga mat, workout gear, or even a full minute. Just one shoulder roll, a chest opener, and a deep breath can send a calming signal straight to your nervous system.
When you stretch, your body releases tension that builds up from stress—especially around your neck, hips, and shoulders. Studies show that even light stretching can reduce cortisol, your main stress hormone, and increase serotonin (your feel-good friend).
Try this now:
• Sit or stand tall
• Interlace your fingers behind your back
• Pull your shoulders back, open your chest
• Take 3 slow, deep breaths
Feels better already, right? Make it a habit between emails and Zoom calls.
