…I was, indeed, doomscrolling. This helped. ❤️
Hi, are you doomscrolling? How about a posture check and a quick stretch?
Slowly:
-Pull your head up
-Roll your shoulders back (3x)
-Rotate your head left to right and back (3x each direction) -Raise your arms straight up, then lower them to your sides (3x)
-Rotate your torso left and right (3x)
