You can always take a minute to stretch – even if it is the last possible minute of the day.

If you look like me, you spend a considerable amount of time fantasizing about the perfect morning routine. Imagine that your eyes flutter with the sunrise (no alarm clock needed!) And your body floats out of bed thanks to the flawless night’s sleep that you had (don’t stand up for peeing!). You make your way to your yoga mat, which you had the foresight to set up the night before, and you take a non -hurried Streeetch before you even look at your phone or speak with another living soul.
We are also the same as this literal never happens as you propose. Despite my idealistic imagination, my mornings are usually spent on snoozing my alarm, taming the top of my head in something that looks like her, and reminding * that thing * that I had to do at work yesterday and take away to do it. From here, the day that is over – as if I am blackening in a blur of productivity – and it is at the expense of my body that neglected, stiff and disconnected from the rest of me.
One day, when the only movements I had practiced, squeeze my safety belt and pick up a pen that I dropped off the floor (that is quite a prominent turn, right?), I came the only piece that required the least amount of physical or mental effort – and it changed the game.
I was about to go to bed and it was fed up with days passing by and not taking care of my stiff lower back and cracking shoulders. But because of pure exhaustion, I just couldn’t bring myself to roll out my yoga mat – and my hardwood floor would assume more damage to my body than not stretching at all.
Somewhere between climbing in bed and fighting sleep to do some A bit a bit, I came in a border version of the table top. From there it seemed like my body knew what to do then. I bent my back and lifted my gaze, I took a deep inhalation in the pose of the cows. Then I gave a satisfactory sigh when I walked around my back and dropped my chin in cat pose.
Physically, the front and back body stretch the muscles that I always felt, I always need the most attention. Furthermore, they also helped me to breathe in a feeling of calmness and breathe out all the stress of the day, including the fault of no longer doing it for my body.
To this day, Nighttime Cat-Cow is the lowest maintenance rack that gives me a moment of cold before I step under the blankets, and signals to my body that I still care about you. Even if I wait for the absolute last minute of the day to let you know.
