MovE! MOve! MoVe!

As biological organisms we were created to move, not to exist in a sedentary state. Respect the connections between body, mind, emotions and spirit; and understand the fact that a body kept from motion is a body storing negative emotion.

If you move less, you will feel more stress.

Ya gotta move to get it out.

If your job requires that you sit for extended periods of time, get up and stretch periodically. For two or three minutes of every hour, work out the kinks and stiff spots, breathe deeply, walk around your building, release tension and ponder the blessings you enjoy. You’ll feel much better and perform your work more optimally.
