What about dancing? Other rhythmic movements, for when you can't conveniently get up and walk around? </P> <P>All the best. </P> <P><span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":grinning_cat_face:">😺</span>mmMekitty</P> Fri, 01 Oct 2021 10:33:15 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/welcome-and-orientation/well-that-s-new/m-p/30744#M3800 mmMekitty 2021-10-01T10:33:15Z
