Ball Exercise 16: "Power Down"
Your computer runs better when you shut if off now and then and you do too.
This is sixteen of a set of 24 exercises that get you back into your body, stretching key tech-influenced body parts, and add a little play and peace to your day.
Day 16: “Power Down”
Turning your computer off is key to it running effectively. Powering down clears out the RAM, shuts down programs and operations—it essentially allows your computer to rest. When it turns on again, it’s refreshed and efficient. These are all the same reasons you need to power down. Not only at night, but other times in the day too. This is a super-basic move that with help you clear your cache.
P.S. “The cache” is the tension in your eyes, your spine, and if you take some deep inhalations that press your belly into the ball, the tension in your mind too.
Drape over the ball, widen your feet for support, and relax.
You can also make small side-to-side, or front-to-back motions if you find them soothing
Don’t have a ball?
Create a stack of pillows or blankets and drape over them.
