I enjoy going for long walks, and I find that it helps me unwind and gives me energy. I've never thought about incorporating movement into my teaching, it feels a bit outside my comfort zone, at least to begin with. I’m curious to learn more.

I have been trying this technique called box breathing, when I get overwhelmed. It involves taking deep breaths, then holding air, and releasing it, in long stretches of 4 seconds each. It really helps me to sync my body and mind--to calm both.

I find nature to be relaxing-even a simple grounding exercise outdoors can be a relief. I work in student affairs and I'm hoping to learn techniques to use in student appointments

Being around nature, particularly trees, is calming for me. It allows me to quiet all of the chatter and distractions in my brain and focus on the here and now. I've wondered how movement and biolphilic design in classrooms could mimic this feeling for me and my students.

I have a daily yoga practice and this helps me stay calm and focused. I am trying to help my son who is waiting for an autism assessment. Movement helps him so we try to go out in nature.

I use a power pose with all of my students before their exam. I'm not sure if it works, but I was told it builds confidence.

Guided meditations that focus on checking in on how your body is feeling and correcting posture that is uncomfortable have been the most impactful for me. The guided meditation enables me to think about my body and how it feels in a more present way which usually helps me feel less stressed or overwhelmed in the moment.

I definitely believe that as human beings we need to move - it keeps us healthy - it connects us to the world and ourselves. I like to swim in the sea - and I like to walk - typically when swimming or walking I can ecome lost in the flow of those activities - sometimes, problems I have surface and start to resolve - ideas bubble... Sometimes I have changed a whole 09.00 start class on the 7.30 am walk in!

When I stop and notice my posture (both back and neck), I realize that I sometimes have my head down and I'm curved forward. I want to portray confidence and alertness. If I stop and straighten up and lift my head up, I feel more confident!

Working out for me personally helps me feel more connected to myself. I not only physically feel better but I also feel less stressed after I've worked out.

As soon as I wake up in every morning, I head to my mat, lie on my back, and start with some breathing (that's not me in the photo, but that's my vibe for sure). I then start moving my muscles from the head down (sometimes from the toes up) and gradually progress to a few planks, warrior poses, and light squats. I used to do these exercises when I was stressed out, but now I realize that everyday practice will help reduce my stress. For me, morning exercises are my life preserver for preventative health.

I like to listen to music in the mornings because it helps me feel present and start the day with a sense of gratitude.

when i feel dysregulated (stressed, anxious, sad), i take deep, controlled breaths. sometimes 3 to 5, sometimes more. my Fitbit has a breathing activity where you inhale and exhale to a circle which can be helpful. i also try to do grounding exercises like 5/4/3/2/1. if i can intentionally put my focus onto something specific, i can calm my [insert negative state here]

At night I use breathing exercises to help me sleep. I allows me to focus and let everything melt away.

I have, historically, had trouble sleeping. My brain just does not want to shut off. However, through breath work and some specific activities (ritual) before bed, I am now able to better get to sleep and stay asleep which has helped my energy throughout the day, tremendously.

I'm a fan of moving daily, including running (road & trail), mobility, and strength training. Our mornings start with a pre-sunrise walks to get our dog out exercising first. When I teach in person, I prefer moving/walking around the classroom and not staying in a static place or position. I invite my students to stretch and stand when we take breaks, including placing hands on our own shoulders and using our elbows to guide making big circles while taking deep breaths. When I teach or work online, I set my timer for every 15 minutes to stand, stretch, walk around, and/or do some push ups.

I take flamenco lessons and for some reason I feel deeply grounded when I am dancing. Flamenco involves so many different movements (feet, arms, hands, and even fingers). It’s nearly impossible for me to learn or practice flamenco without being mindful.
