as well as a demonstration of two simple movements

00:00:12

that can be easily applied at the office.

00:00:15

Movements inspired by Chinese energetic tools

00:00:19

that will help you refocus and regain

00:00:21

a calm and positive state of mind in the face of stress,

00:00:26

hookups and positive points.

00:00:29

Moving,

00:00:30

making movements is a basic piece of

00:00:32

advice to promote a healthy physical lifestyle.

00:00:36

The weaker your body is,

00:00:38

the more the slightest stress will lead to exhaustion.

00:00:42

To avoid tension,

00:00:43

escalation,

00:00:44

it is advisable to have a body that is supple and relaxed as possible.

00:00:49

Sport is the ultimate activity that allows

00:00:52

you to disconnect and recharge your batteries.

00:00:55

Especially if practised in the great outdoors,

00:00:58

it allows the release of endorphins which stimulate pleasure and health.

00:01:04

Sport is known for its anxiety reduction and antidepressant effects.

00:01:10

If you really don't enjoy sports and you consider them more as a constraint.

00:01:14

Then I recommend walking ideally outdoors

00:01:18

in addition to allowing a healthy stimulation

00:01:21

of the right and left brain and activation of the cerebrospinal fluid pump,

00:01:27

walking in nature allows a deep oxygenation of the cells.

00:01:31

Studies prove

00:01:33

that city dwellers near.

00:01:34

Green spaces have better health,

00:01:37

and in Japan,

00:01:38

they talk about therapeutic forest baths.

00:01:41

Health professionals recommend walking at least 30 minutes a day.

00:01:46

Walk,

00:01:47

move,

00:01:48

even if it's for 3 minutes to stretch your legs and ventilate your brain.

00:01:53

Take advantage of a mess.

00:01:54

To give to a colleague,

00:01:56

get up and give him or her a live message instead of sending an email.

00:02:01

Do this for your body.

00:02:03

Get up at least every hour to walk a little,

00:02:06

stretch your body and your brain.

00:02:08

The more relaxed your body is,

00:02:11

the more relaxed your mind will be,

00:02:13

and vice versa.

00:02:15

Tip 2,

00:02:16

stretching.

00:02:17

I invite you to regularly relax the areas where you know the tension is in your body.

00:02:24

Be aware of where your body is vulnerable to stress.

00:02:28

Where does the tension grab you first,

00:02:30

in the neck,

00:02:31

the back,

00:02:32

the pelvis,

00:02:32

or the jaw?

00:02:34

For those of you who spend a lot of time sitting at your desk behind your computer.

00:02:39

You are bound to have physical tension,

00:02:41

especially if you don't get up at least every hour to move around.

00:02:46

How can you get rid of physical tension when it becomes part of your body

00:02:51

before it's too late and you have to go

00:02:52

to the physiotherapist or the osteopathy neck rolls.

00:02:59

By an arm or shoulder stretch,

00:03:02

by shoulder rolls,

00:03:04

by a pelvic roll,

00:03:07

you can treat yourself to an ear massage if you

00:03:10

are invested in a job where listening is essential.

00:03:13

You have more than 365 micro acupuncture points on your ears,

00:03:18

or you can make eye rolls if your eyes are tired from focusing on the screen.

00:03:24

I recommend that you take 1 minute every half

00:03:27

hour to relax your body and recirculate energy.

00:03:31

The body is not made to sit for hours.

00:03:35

The brain

00:03:35

also needs body movement to function at its best.

00:03:39

Walking activates the cerebrospinal fluid pump

00:03:43

that soaks,

00:03:44

protects,

00:03:44

and nourishes the central nervous system,

00:03:47

the spinal cord,

00:03:48

and the brain.

00:03:50

Don't leave your body at the coat hanger when you enter the office.

00:03:53

It is through your body,

00:03:55

your eyes,

00:03:56

ears,

00:03:56

nose,

00:03:57

touch and taste that all of the information

00:04:00

necessary for your thinking and performance comes in.

00:04:04

Menana incorporatesano,

00:04:07

a healthy mind in a healthy body.

00:04:10

If you want to regain your full brain potential and keep your energy at work,

00:04:15

movement is the key.

00:04:17

I recommend the books on Brain Gym founded by Paul Dennison,

00:04:21

a PhD in education science.

00:04:24

Here are two movements for positivity,

00:04:27

both from the Brain gym.

00:04:29

The positive points.

00:04:31

The positive points consist of placing two fingers on the frontal bumps

00:04:36

and simply breathe.

00:04:38

The touch is light

00:04:40

as if you were placing your fingers on the pupils of your eyes.

00:04:44

You can pull the skin very slightly as if you

00:04:47

wanted to erase a wrinkle between the two eyes.

00:04:51

Simply breathe in

00:04:53

and out.

00:04:55

While doing the positive points activity,

00:04:57

you can close your eyes and visualise in a positive way

00:05:01

your day or a landscape that makes you feel good.

00:05:04

You can also put your hand on your forehead.

00:05:08

That's the movement we spontaneously use to think.

00:05:11

We bring energy and consciousness to our prefrontal cortex,

00:05:16

which is the place of reflection or choice.

00:05:19

This is also the movement we are making to soothe

00:05:22

what a mother does when she gently places her hand

00:05:25

on her child's forehead because they are worried or sick.

00:05:29

These positive points are not only useful to help you think when you are

00:05:34

stressed and not go into your reptilian survival reflexes that pull you back,

00:05:39

but also to calm you down.

00:05:41

If you feel an emotion of fear,

00:05:44

sadness,

00:05:45

anger,

00:05:46

you can put your fingers on both points.

00:05:49

If you feel the energy is really low and you need reassurance,

00:05:53

you can go further.

00:05:55

Put your hand on your forehead and your hand on the base of

00:05:59

your skull at the level of the reptilian brain and brain stem.

00:06:03

Wait

00:06:04

until you feel that your breathing is calmed

00:06:07

and that emotion or stress is soothed.

00:06:10

Then visualise the activity that will follow in your schedule in a positive way,

00:06:15

the interview with the client or the proofreading of a file.

00:06:18

A second movement from the brain,

00:06:20

Jim will help you be positive

00:06:23

whether you are or not under stress.

00:06:26

The hook up consists first of crossing your hands in this way

00:06:31

and bringing them back to the chest and crossing your legs in any direction you want.

00:06:37

You have crossed all the acupuncture meridians of legs and hands,

00:06:42

and this facilitates the circulation of energy.

00:06:47

It also allows you to refocus on yourself

00:06:50

like hugging yourself.

00:06:52

I advise you to have your knees unlocked,

00:06:55

not to have the legs arched backwards in a reptilian reflex,

00:07:00

your shoulders relaxed.

00:07:02

Let your breathing calm down.

00:07:05

Each time you breathe in you can push your tongue on the pallet.

00:07:09

Each time you breathe out,

00:07:11

release the tongue pressure.

00:07:13

This is the first part of the movement.

00:07:16

You will feel after a while that you are relaxed

00:07:18

and ready for the second part of the movement.

00:07:21

Uncross your legs and arms

00:07:24

and let little by little your two hands join together

00:07:29

as if they were attracted by magnets fingers to fingers.

00:07:34

Metaphorically,

00:07:35

it is also bringing back the connection between the right and left brain,

00:07:40

getting them to work together again

00:07:42

whereas stress often cuts the transmission bridge between the two hemispheres.

00:07:47

Breathe.

00:07:49

You can sometimes feel an electric current in the acupuncture meridians

00:07:53

passing through your fingertips as you are balancing your energy.

00:07:57

Hookups is a movement in two parts

00:08:00

that can last between 1 and 3 minutes.

00:08:02

It will help you regulate your blood pressure,

00:08:05

gain confidence,

00:08:06

and regain your ability to think under stress.

00:08:10

If you wish to be more discreet because you are surrounded by people,

00:08:14

you can simply leave your hands folded along your body.

00:08:17

This movement can also be done while sitting.

00:08:20

So you have two new activities to be positive,

00:08:24

especially in times of stress,

00:08:26

positive points and hookups.

00:08:46
