- Inhale through your nose for 3 seconds.
- Hold the air for 1 second.
- Exhale slowly through your mouth for 4 seconds.
Repeat 3 to 5 times.
In a few minutes many patients feel that “the head clears”.
Mistake 3: Staying in the same pose for too long
It’s not just “being sedentary,” it’s getting frozen in one posture:
- Sitting for a long time,
- lying still without moving,
- even standing always on the same leg.
When that happens:
- traffic slows down,
- postural muscles become fatigued,
- the neck and lower back tighten,
- Receptors that warn of pressure changes become clumsy.
This is the typical case of:
“I got up from the couch and for a second everything went away.”
What to do
- Every 30–40 minutes he changes his position, even if it’s just a little.
- If you’re sitting, stand up and move your arms and legs.
- If you’re standing, walk a few steps or put your weight on your other leg.
- Use “triggers”: Every time you finish a chapter, a call, or a message, move.
They are “micro-movements”, but for your circulation and balance they are huge.
