I've been sitting a lot these days. All of my work involves sitting at a desk or on a sofa, typing, scribbling or reading.

While I've been doing strenuous exercises at the gym four days out of the week and a light walk in the morning, my legs have still started to feel stiff from all these hours of sitting.

So, when I accidentally found a Buddhist walking meditation called Kinhin, I was intrigued.

In Kinhin, instead of meditating while sitting down, you walk around focusing your mind on your bodily sensations such as your breath, your feet on the ground and your every step.

This is a fantastic alternative to traditional meditation for someone like me who often feels restless sitting down meditating for 10 minutes.

I love pacing around the house, and this little ritual seems to be a good way to give the mind a break while negating some of the effects of prolonged sitting.

And the 5-4-3-2-1 grounding exercise I had talked about earlier, fits well with this exercise.

Start with the 5-4-3-2-1 exercise to prime your focus and attention to your surroundings, and then spend the next 5–10 minutes walking around the house or outside with this heightened focus towards your physical surroundings.

This will be my go-to activity during breaks next week.

If your job involves sitting for the most part of the day, why don't you try this exercise?

The premium membership is around the corner.

I've been hard at work finishing the first member-only blog post and wrapping up some discount deals for helpful apps that would come in handy for you.

At over 7,000 words and 100+ screenshots and recordings, this blog post will be a comprehensive and hands-on guide on using Apple Notes for your everyday note-taking needs.

I also have a new book summary written and lined up, with another in the works.

I'm excited to share more about this membership in the coming week, and officially launch it in a week or two.

You'll love this package.
