Check in with yourself right now. Without making any adjustments, notice how your body feels. Notice what’s on your mind and heart. Notice the level of your energy and inspiration
Now, stand up. Root your feet firmly and calmly to the ground hip width apart. Gently rotate your hip points upward. Open your chest. Gently rotate your shoulders back and down. Extend your arms down your side. Gently rotate your palms to face forward. Lengthen upward your spinal cord and neck. Subtly lift your chin. Relax the muscles of the jaw, cheeks and brow. Fix your eyes on the horizon. Feel your whole body as one, standing in a focused, calm, and energized posture. Inhale slowly and deeply. Exhale slowly and deeply.
Staying in mountain pose, gently shut your eyes. Visualize the sun rising on the horizon. Feel the warmth of the rays on your face and palms. Feel the energy of the new day sinking into your bones.
Imagine the sun. A massive unfurling of energy, billions of years old, huge and dense, a powerful center that steadies the orbit of all that surrounds it. Embody the sun. Feel powerful. Feel centered. Feel timeless.
Now open your eyes. Go forward and do whatever it is that you need to do - focused, calm, and energized.

Our body and our mind shapes our brain, our brain shapes our body and our mind. Thereby, fidgeting can be seen as a cause and an effect of a restless unfocused mind. Muscle tension a cause and an effect of bodily stress and strain. Lethargy a cause and an effect of a dull unawakened spirit.
At any time you can flip the script. Pause and check in with yourself throughout the day. Stand tall in mountain pose and see the bright centering sun. Create calm, focus and energy. It will serve you and your work well.
