💬 Your Success Stories

I work from home and realized I often sit for hours without standing. One afternoon I felt mentally blocked, so I stood up and just walked slowly to the other side of my apartment. I didn’t rush or bring my phone. With each step, I felt tension release from my neck and back. It was surprisingly refreshing. Since then, I do this short walk when I need a reset. It’s not about steps—it’s about presence.
