This is really important. Even though I do yoga and other physical activity on a regular basis, sometimes I forget to take breaks when I am working at the computer. I'm getting much better at being aware now...especially because I have a tendency to hunch over while I work at the desk.
I'm the same as Stephanie, actually. I tend to spend eight hours at a stretch at my computer, which has a tendency to cause a lot of lower back and shoulder tension in my body. Now, I make sure that I take at LEAST a five minute stretch break every hour, even if it means just going to my kitchen to fix myself a cup of tea. And at lunchtime, I make sure I get about 30 minutes of activity, deadlines notwithstanding.
Take time to stretch in those long hours at work
