HR Learning of the Month: Mindful Movement
Here are six ways to bring mindful movement into the workday:
1. Take deep breaths
Inhale through your nose for four seconds, hold for seven seconds, and exhale through your mouth for eight seconds. Repeat this cycle as needed.
2. Dance in your chair
Stimulating your digestive system can help to replenish vital energy when you feel you're beginning to fade. To do this, try some simple seated twists.
3. Follow the 20-20-20 rule
Every 20 minutes spend using a screen, look up and focus on something 20 feet from you for a total of 20 seconds.
4. Forward bend
This posture boosts circulation to your upper body and brain, soothing the nervous system and easing stress. Hold for 10 cycles of breath.
5. Inhale energy
Hit a mental energy slump? Stretch your arms up, interlock your fingers, palms to the sky, and imagine toxins leaving your body.
6. Stand up
Schedule short three-to-five minute breaks in your calendar to get up and unwind your body.
