Batch 5: Free write - Stretching!

I work in a very small office (there are four of us total here on a day to day basis), and all of us work on a computer all day, as most office people do. If you have ever worked in this kind of environment, you know the kind of aches and pains that come along with it: neck aches, stiffness, carpel tunnel, etc. As someone who has spent my entire working life at a job where I am on my feet and moving at least 50% of the day, this was new to me.
After working here for a couple of weeks, I was starting to feel some of the negative effects of having such a comfortable office chair. To focus better, I got up and did some basic stretches to loosen my muscles up. Our Director of Sales, Cara, noticed me doing this and loved the idea. after a bit of chatting about it, we decided to do 2 o'clock stretch breaks every day.
Luckily,  Cara takes several yoga classes a week and knows lots of stretches to keep things interesting. Several months later, we all still stop what we are doing at 2 o'clock to stretch together for 15 minutes.
We have found that it keeps us from feeling lazy after lunch, and gives us the boost (and mental break) we need to finish the day strong. It has gotten to the point where I feel stiff and sore if we skip it for the day.
Plus, even beyond making everyone feel better, it is something we can all do together to make our working relationships that much better, and thus the office a much nicer place to work everyday!
