Is the Phone the New Laptop? How many of us have completed a day's work from our cell phones? Just me? ?? I think it all started for me when bench seating became the low-rise skinny jeans of office life—a good idea for a minute, but then you had to sit there. That's when I began using my cell phone more for tasks or taking my laptop to the kitchen for a bit of privacy. I'd take work calls while walking around the building to get some exercise. I had finally figured out how to take care of myself in the office, and then we all went home. Suddenly, we were working on the couch, in bed, at the kitchen counter. Meetings transitioned from calls to Zooms. I felt chained to my screen in a new way. It was a lifeline for connection, but with all that connection came screen fatigue. And here is the question: How do you take care of your body when you're tied to a screen? The answer is movement. For the past four years, I've been leading a 15-minute live screen time movement break three times a week. Yes, it happens on a screen, so not much of a stretch (pun intended), but we move, and we feel better. Our group of movers understands that even a little movement, wherever you are, can have a dramatic impact on how you feel. It can loosen and even release tension in the body. One breath might be all it takes to feel immediate relief. After a decade of teaching movement to people in all aspects of screen life, I've learned a lot. And a lot means one thing: Just move. 1. Incorporate Small, Frequent Movements: Roll your shoulders, stretch your arms, or rotate your neck. These micro-movements can significantly alleviate discomfort. 2. Practice Deep Breathing Exercises: A single deep breath can instantly release tension and improve your focus. Try to integrate deep breathing into your movement breaks. 3. Community Support: Moving with others is motivating and fun. It creates a sense of accountability and encourages regular participation. You can join me anytime to tackle the discomfort and aches that come with prolonged screen time. We'll focus on those common pain points: the neck, shoulders, arms, back, hips, and even down to the fingertips. DM here for the Zoom link. We gather on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for 15 minutes at 12PM PT / 3PM ET. I’ve spent a great deal of time studying how our bodies react to spending much of the workday on a screen. The result? Still movement. XO, Jacqui
