'Sometimes, just a little change in perspective can turn a bad day into a good one' - Paula Rollo [Image may contain: plant, flower and outdoor] Dear All, I hope your week started well. And should you run into any 'obstacles', a small change of perspective might help you find a solution. As I am working from my home office, formerly known as dining room, I realized that my dining chair is not very ergonomic. 'My back reminds me' quite often that I have been sitting too long. If you also encounter some back issues and need a breather, I invite you to below breathing exercise, which helps to loosen up the lower back: Put your hands on your knees (feet on the floor) and do below movements slowly, following your breathing Take a deep inhale and exhale deeply to begin Inhale - straighten your back, look to the ceiling Exhale - round your back, chin to chest Inhale - straighten your back, look to the ceiling Exhale - round your back, chin to chest Inhale - straighten your back, look to the ceiling Exhale - round your back, chin to chest Take a deep inhale and exhale deeply to end If you like a longer 'Moment to Breathe' join me on YouTube for a new 10 minute session and 'leaf on a stream' meditation: https://youtu.be/jS8JjcnnTO0 Have a great week and stay well - Sylvia Sylvia Mansour The University of Texas at San Antonio Director Interdisciplinary Education Advising One UTSA Circle San Antonio, TX 78249 Main Building 3.214 Phone: 210-458-4424 Sylvia.mansour@utsa.edu<mailto:Laura.garcia@utsa.edu> UTSA is closely monitoring the coronavirus.
