If you’re going to do one thing today for yourself, let it be this…
Lay yourself back on a bolster.
Close your eyes.
Open your hips.
Open your heart.
Let your body sink.
Let your nervous system soften.
Let go of any tension you’ve been unconsciously holding all day.
Let go of any thoughts, past or future.
No forcing. No fixing. No expectations.
Just giving yourself permission to be.
Focus on deep, slow diaphragmatic breathing, belly expanding outwards on the breath in, and inwards on the breath out.
Not only will 5-10 mins of this daily help calm your nervous system.
It will also…
✨ Support digestion and immune function
✨ Regulate your stress hormones
✨ Soften tension in your hips, back and shoulders
✨ Mobilise through the joints in your upper back
✨ Improve your posture
✨ Help you feel more present in your body.
And here’s something else, when you open your chest, you’re not just improving your posture. You’re telling your body, ‘I’m safe. I can take up space.’
Posture and confidence are more connected than we realise.
So if you’re feeling tight, your mind’s feeling busy, or you’re just a bit off today. Try this. Your future self will thank you.
NB if you are currently experiencing an acute episode of pain, this one may not be for you today. Be gentle with yourself.
