Day two of actually paying attention to when my shoulders creep up around my ears, and it happened right in the middle of a status call today, which is exactly when I can’t just get up and shake it out.
What I kept:
– stood up and stretched at 11am and again around 3pm
– took the stairs instead of the elevator, twice
– caught myself holding my breath during a tense email thread and breathed out instead of hitting send on something sharp (deleted that reply, it needed it)
What I didn’t keep:
– the 9am stretch break got swallowed by a meeting that ran long, and by the time I looked up it was already noon
Still tight through the neck by the end of the day, but not as locked up as yesterday. Small difference, I’ll take it!
