Normally, articles like these follow a step-by-step program such as

• Dial the lights
• Drink X amounts of coffee
• Do stretching
• Dream big
• Dance to your affirmations

And so on.

I previously believed that there was this one holy grail that you must obtain. In reality, any position or body state is perfect as long as you fully accept it.

For example, imagine that you need to write a term paper but feel extremely distracted and unmotivated. All that you can think of is TikTok and Oreos.
