Movement

Our bodies are designed to move, not sit still in one place for too long. Movement directly impacts the circulation of oxygen and our ability to think and learn, not to mention our mood and perspective taking. For optimal focus and concentration and overall health of your body, try and stretch and move every 20 minutes.

Some movement strategies rev us up or give us the energy we need when we're feeling sluggish and some movement activities calm us down. See how your body reacts: what works for you when you need a boost, and what helps you to calm down and/or stay focused.
