Breathing When You Feel Tired

This excerpt from the book Conscious Breathing by Gay Hendricks tells how he uses breath to help his body during his computer time.

"I have learned to use body-cues as reminders to take a conscious breath or two. One cue is a slightly achy feeling in my back, shoulders, and arms that is a signal to me that I'm getting tired. As I typed, I seemed to feel this cue every five or ten minutes. Whenever I felt it, I would take a few deep belly-breaths and change my body position slightly. The achy feeling would immediately disappear."
