π» The "Work From Home" Posture Guide
1. The "Eye-Level" Rule π
Is your laptop sitting on your desk? Youβre 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 π
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 π§ββοΈ
When we get stressed or focused, our shoulders tend to creep up toward our ears like theyβre 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!) β°
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 β€οΈ
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!
