1 Minute Habit for June 11

Rotate your wrists in opposite directions

This simple motion is like giving your hardworking wrists a mini vacation from typing and scrolling.

It’s a refreshing stretch that brings instant relief and resets your posture—even during your busiest day.

Your wrists take on a lot—scrolling, typing, holding bags, cooking—yet we rarely give them attention.

This habit brings movement and awareness back to those overused joints with just a few smooth circles.

Prevents stiffness and discomfort from constant phone/computer use.
Improves circulation in the hands—great for cold fingers or after long typing sessions.
Can be done while standing or sitting—even during Zoom meetings!
Feels like you're drawing invisible circles in the air (which is oddly satisfying).
Pairs perfectly with shoulder rolls for a full upper-body reset.

💬 Your Success Stories

I’d been typing all day and didn’t even realize how tight my wrists were. I did the opposite rotation thing during a meeting, and not only did it feel good—I realized I’d been holding tension there for weeks. Now I try to do it every afternoon.
