Once you dig into your work, it’s easy to get so focused on completing the task at hand that you ignore the signals from your body. You likely tell yourself that once you finish your objective, then maybe you will take a moment to take a break and acknowledge the signals that you’ve been pushing back.
However, if you become more proactive in recognizing those signals to stop and take a break to stretch when your body is telling you to, you’ll find that you’ll not only feel better, but will be more productive.
