Relaxing your eyes away from the screen should be done regularly. Today you can try the eye eight exercise.
“Sit relaxed and close your eyes. Imagine the shape of an eight, with its center between your eyebrows. Now move your eyes along this shape, approximately 10 times in each direction.” Compassionate Computing

As you may have practiced this with us before today we add an advanced practice also from Compassionate Computing: “Draw other forms, such as spirals, hearts or street maps” What colour are these shapes in your mind’s eye? Do this 20 times. Does the longer time offer greater relaxation or not?
