A few things happen when you spend your entire day at a desk, regardless of how hard you work: Your back tenses up, your wrists get strained, and your neck muscles stiffen. Unless you're planning on an early retirement (or swear by a standing desk hack), the effects will only get worse over time. Luckily, there is a way to loosen up: These *~eUphOrIc~* stretches from yoga extraordinaire Hilaria Baldwin can help you counteract the effects of living in a desk chair by giving tortured muscles a little TLC. Practice these stretches after work or, even better, throughout the day.

1. Eagle Wrap: Place your knees on the mat with the tops of your feet against the floor and your butt on your heels. Extend both arms straight up overhead. Then circle your right arm down and drop your left arm, cradling your left bicep in the crook of your right elbow. Twist your thumbs away from your body and bring your palms together. Then hook your thumbs, and breath into the stretch for as long as you'd like. Then reverse arms (right bicep in the crook of your left elbow) and repeat.
What it does: Stretches your upper back and arms.

2. Cat and Cow: Place your hands and knees on a mat so your shoulders are stacked over your wrists and your hips are over your knees. Turn your thumbs outward until your fingertips face your toes. Exhale as you arch your back and look up toward the ceiling in cow pose. Then, inhale as you curve your spine and bring your gaze back down to complete cat pose. Continue alternating between cat and cow, holding each position for as long as you'd like.

What it does: Stretches your shoulders, back, and neck.

3. Forward Bend: Stand with your feet hips-width apart and a slight bend in the knees. Bend from the waist and let your head hang. Then interlace your fingers behind your neck and gently swing your upper body in a figure-eight motion. Continue for as long as you'd like.

What it does: Releases tension in your neck.

4. Low Lunge: Kneel on a mat and place your palms underneath your shoulders on the floor in front of you. Bring your left foot to the inside of your left hand, and press into your left heel as you lift your chest and bring both arms straight up to the sky. Keeping your hips square and arms along your ears, arch your lower back and bring your gaze upward as you continue to stretch your arms up and slightly behind you. Hold for as long as you'd like, then repeat on the other side.

What it does: Stretches your back and hip flexors.

Eat meals together as a staff, host movie nights in different RA rooms during free evenings, and have an ice breaker for every time we meet as a staff so we get to know more about each other every time. (Joshua)

Acting as a mentor for the new RAs and helping them when they have questions and also explaining things more in depth if I don't think it was covered fully.

Remembering that I am also new to this community and that I will also need to lean on some of the returning members here. (Joshua)

I want to be a resource to my staff and supervisors, whether it's answering new questions to new RAs or helping encourage or motive returning RAs who might be feeling "burnt oit

I'm going to be the person to initially ask questions to supervisors if something may have been unclear, or just add extra information about our community that they might need to know.
