Adding movement to a short break

Pause the task first

Put down what you are holding, check the floor and stand slowly. You do not need to read a screen while doing a movement that requires attention.

Try a short sequence

You might walk gently around the room, relax your shoulders or reach comfortably. These are general examples, not personalised exercise or rehabilitation.

Return intentionally

Add a useful break time to the weekly planner if it helps. A short pause does not replace broader activity needs, sleep or a suitable working setup.
