1. Make a point of standing up several times each hour. Some people find that it helps to designate a specific cue, like the ringing of the telephone, to remind themselves to stand up and stretch.
   
   
2. Breathe deeply each time you stand up. This will keep you relaxed and energized.
   
   
3. Pin up an image of a relaxing scene-- like your favorite beach or a mountain lake. Close your eyes and imagine the scene several times a day. Positive visualizations have been shown to change body chemistry and reduce stress.
   
   
4. If you work in an informal office, you might consider investing in an exercise ball and keeping it in your office. The exercise ball forces us to be conscious of keeping our backs straight and tightening our tummies. You can even it as a chair.
   
   
5. Go for a walk during your lunch hour.
   
   
6. Listen to relaxing music while moving around your workspace.
