The big questions

Stop and take a moment to ask yourself the following three questions. It can help to get out of that mental spiral and connect you to the bigger picture.

Am I seeing? Are you seeing the big picture or are you overfocused on your screen? Am I breathing? Or are you holding onto one aspect of the breath cycle?

Am I soft and tall? Are you standing with your weight balanced between your feet, feeling free and easy? When we’re tense, our chest and abdomen tighten and clench, and we literally get smaller, tighter and stiffer. If we’re tired or upset or overwhelmed, our flexor muscles come into play, making us feel physically heavier, so we collapse our posture.
