200lbs → 100oz of water

Set a timer if remembering to drink water is an issue. Use a water break every 30 minutes as an opportunity to get up and stretch. The work can wait. Doctors orders! 👨‍⚕️

We’ve all spent the last few months trading in our office for the dining room table, conference for our bedroom, and the water cooler for Instagramming during a bathroom break. 👩‍💻

It’s important to make sure that our ergonomics at home are supporting productivity and not leading to mental or spinal fatigue. 🥱

Sit towards the front of the chair and perform 10 pelvic tilts. This will help find proper sitting posture.
Feet flat on the floor, no crossing of legs or ankles.
This is a surefire way to keep our employee of the month streak alive. 🏆

There are only two correct ways to sleep. And one of the most popular ways to sleep is actually terrible.

We should 𝑵𝑬𝑽𝑬𝑹 sleep on our 𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒎𝒂𝒄𝒉.
🚨Our spine has three natural curves and sleeping on our stomach reverses that curvature. 🚨

The best way to sleep is on our back or our side, making sure that our shoulders are not on the pillow. Propping up our knees with a pillow, or placing a pillow between our legs can help relieve pressure on our spine and make for a more restful, restorative night.

We spend a lot of time on our phones and computers. And why not, they’re filled with friends and fun! And also work wah-wah. 🥲

All this solution requires is a towel. We roll it up and place it under our neck as we lie down for 10 minutes. This simple trick helps to restore the proper structure of the cervical spine.

This is the at-home version of a tool we use in the office called a Denneroll, a custom orthotic that helps with spinal molding.

Sleep is so important. Yes, because it affects how we spend our time awake, but more importantly when we sleep our body heals itself and processes information it took in from the day before. 𝐒𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐢𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐨 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞.

Sound, restful sleep is hard for many people though. 😖🤪Stress, pain, and a racing mind make sleep impossible for some.🤕😵 Here are two simple, natural solutions to help us fall and stay asleep.

5-5-5 𝑩𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈
Inhale for 5
Hold for 5
Breathe out mouth for 5
Repeat

See, so simple! This breathing technique decreases our heart rate and relaxes the🧠.

𝑴𝒆𝒅𝒊𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏
Being mindful and intentional about relaxing is a great way to usher the body into that state. There are so many apps out there that encourage relaxation one breath at a time.

It’s time to take the test!

Posture is the window to our spine. 𝐏𝐨𝐨𝐫 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐨 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 & 𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦. It can also affect the flow of oxygen to our heart and brain, which is never a good idea.

For this test all we need is…🥁…a wall!

Our heels, butt, head, and hands all go on the wall for 30 seconds.⏳

After the 30 seconds we step off the wall. If that new posture feels uncomfortable or uncommon, we’ve got poor posture. Good luck! 👍

Research shows that after 15 minutes of sitting people revert back to poor posture. 𝐏𝐨𝐨𝐫 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐨 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 & 𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦. These days we all have plenty of opportunities to revert to poor posture. 🙃

Every 15 minutes we should get up and perform these two exercises to reset our healthy posture.
