My dad (who’s a self-proclaimed computer nerd) commented recently on Facebook about how years ago you sometimes solved computer problems by using Control Alt Delete, but that with current Windows applications you now have to actually turn off the computer for a “hard” reboot.

What about people? How do we “reboot” ourselves when we’re feeling glitchy? I’m sure you have your favorite methods, and you can guess I’m going to suggest mindful breathing and yoga.

These days we have so much information available at our fingertips, and we can find ourselves compelled to watch or scroll for hours. One thing I do periodically is to turn off all media: TV, cell phone, computer, kindle, etc. Then I find something that’s more grounding, such as actually stepping onto the grass, or getting on my yoga mat for gentle stretches.

Here’s a great article on a study which found that limiting social media for just 30 minutes produced higher levels of positive emotions. What’s your go-to when you need a reboot?

If you want to practice yoga with me, I provide many options, including group classes or 1-on-1 sessions via Zoom or in-person, and video recordings.

Be Well,

Eva
