πŸ’» The "Work From Home" Posture Guide

1. The "Eye-Level" Rule πŸ‘€

Is your laptop sitting on your desk? You’re likely looking down, which puts a lot of pressure on your neck.

  • The Fix: Use a laptop stand or even a stack of sturdy books! Your eyes should be level with the top third of your screen.

2. The 90-Degree Dream πŸ“

Your body loves right angles when you're working.

  • The Fix: Aim for 90 degrees at your elbows, hips, and knees. Keep your feet flat on the floor (no crossing those legs for hours!). If your feet don't reach, a small footrest or a rogue yoga block works wonders!

3. The "Anti-Gravity" Shoulders πŸ§˜β€β™€οΈ

When we get stressed or focused, our shoulders tend to creep up toward our ears like they’re trying to hide.

  • The Fix: Set a "Shoulder Alarm." Every hour, take a deep breath and consciously drop your shoulders down and back. It feels amazing!

4. The 20/20/20 Rule (For your eyes AND body!) ⏰

  • The Fix: Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. While you're at it, stand up and give your arms a big stretch!

5. Lumbar Love ❀️

Most kitchen chairs aren't built for 8-hour workdays.

  • The Fix: If you don't have an ergonomic chair, roll up a small towel and place it in the curve of your lower back. Your spine will thank you!
