Stretch

Stretch

Decide between a formal movement meditation like yoga, tai chi, falun dafa or qi gong -- or you just do a simple stretching routine. In a pinch, just stretch for a few seconds (yes, you can yawn too). Movement brings blood and energy to unusual or underused places in your body, opens up the breathing passages, brings oxygen to your muscles. It also brings your attention to the present and grounds you in your body. Do what you're capable of and comfortable with -- this isn't a workout, it's a work-up.
