Perform an Anti-Anxiety Plank

What happens here

This 'anti-anxiety hack' involves performing a plank exercise. When experiencing stress or feeling overwhelmed by numerous decisions, especially in a demanding work environment, find a private area, such as an office. Close the door to ensure no distractions. Position your body in a standard plank, supporting yourself on your forearms and toes, ensuring your back is straight and core engaged. Maintain this position for approximately 90 seconds. The physical demand of holding the plank diverts mental focus from stressors, simultaneously providing a core workout and mental clarity, allowing for a refreshed return to problem-solving.

Goal: To reduce anxiety and improve mental focus through physical exercise.
