CONSTRUCTIVE REST:
Lie on a firm/comfortable surface in semi-supine (knees up), or legs extended. Place a paperback book or two beneath your head, allowing your head to align with your spine. Notice the support of the surface beneath you. Observe any places where you are holding yourself and allow those places to release. Direct for length and width through your torso, legs, and arms. Rest for 5 to 15 minutes.
MICRO-PAUSES: (whenever you think of it, or set alerts on your devices)
Pause, notice your breath, and invite ease.
PROMPTS: (to be used with daily activity)
‘I allow my head to move away from my spine.’
‘My neck is free.’
‘Whole Self. Whole World.’
‘Present Over Perfect.’
