This simple holiday posture tip is a total lifesaver for your back!
🎁
If you usually wrap gifts hunched over on the floor for hours, do your body a favor and try these easy tweaks this year:
🎁
Move your wrapping station up to a table or counter so you can stay more upright, and if you’re hiding in your bedroom to keep gifts secret, stand next to the bed instead of sitting on it.
🎁
Build in mini movement breaks. After every couple of gifts, walk them over to the tree instead of carrying a giant stack at the end; those short walks help you change positions more often so you’re not stuck bent forward and setting yourself up for back pain.
🎁
If wrapping starts to feel stressful, pause. Take a few deep breaths, or turn it into a mini mindfulness moment by focusing on the symmetry of the paper, the folds, and the corners—who knows, you might even nail that perfectly wrapped present while your nervous system gets a reset.
