"And lastly, to fix your doom-scrolling turtleneck, wrap your fingers behind your head and pull your neck forward. Then, move your head backwards and breathe. This feels amazing. That's the point," Piet says.
He concludes, "But remember, real change doesn't happen overnight. Save this and do this consistently for best results."
