What do you do to protect your posture when you are tired? Weariness can make the body a bit lazy. Over a period of time this can create painful conditions like back pain, neck ache, or make it difficult moving your shoulder for example.
If you are aware you are getting tired, it’s a good idea to lie down on the floor, or a yoga mat if you have one. Put your knees up, with your feet flat on the floor, legs hip width apart and allow your body to rest in that position. Really focus on the sensation and support of the floor below you. You can scan through your body, to observe any sensations of tightness, tingliness or anything else. Not trying to change anything, but tuning in to how your body is feeling.
Support your body and do this for ten minutes, then get back up. You may well find that your body feels restored and you are able to hold yourself up better to get on with your day.

Thanks for your reply, what do you do when your body needs to relax?
I use the techniques learned from my pilates training.
