Awareness-
it's been five hours since I started internet surfing.
Look away from the screen.
Breathe in, out.
Body check:
Am I stiff?
Then:
Consciously relax my shoulders, my arms, my face.
Adjust my position.
How am I feeling:
cold?
anxious?
scattered?
Am I tense because of:
hunger?
thirst?
a full bladder or number two?
Pause, then rise up and do it.
A washroom or stretch break.
A sweater, a snack.
Short exercise.
Hugs.
Then resume, or stop for the day.

Not really a poem. Thought process to calm myself down when I get stuck.
