What Do You Do when Your Page is Loading?


If you don’t have a lightening-speed Internet, or you simply need to restart your computer – what do you do?  Do you keep staring in the blank screen or is this a time for something good?  I say it’s time for a mini-meditation!  Internet page will not load faster if you keep staring there, but your eyes and brain can benefit so much from this simple trick.  Just close your eyes and focus on your breath.  Breathe deeper, feel your lungs stretching.  And the key is actually the exhale:  push all air out to encourage deeper breathing.  Relax your neck and shoulders.  Open your eyes:  the page is still loading?  Then keep relaxing!  ;)

Or maybe it’s a perfect time to stretch your back?  Very easy:  just stand up, place your feet 1-2 steps away from your desk, put your palms on the desk and keep bending forward until you feel a (very) pleasant stretch in your lower, middle and upper back.  Breathe in the process.   Congrats – you just upgraded you day!
