Beyond Standing In 2018
In this three part series, I’ve shared a glimpse into my world around a new habit.
And habits are important. They are powerful.
But the larger purpose behind standing more is a healthier body and mind. Isn’t this what so many of us on Medium and elsewhere desire? I think so. And I’m excited about the possibilities to be healthier that came from a simple thought to stand more.
Pressing On
So I press on and engage in my habit, becoming more familiar with its rhythm as each day passes. I start at the standing desk. Moving gently so as not to become a statue.
Then after a time, I move to the sitting desk. And during these moments I’m aware of my posture. But I struggle to maintain it. A work in progress to be sure. I’m not in this to be perfect at it. And that is ok.
Once in a while, I’ll be up and walking. I’ll do something to break up my work.
Making coffee with my steel pour over coffee dripper.
Checking the laundry.
Tidying up my spaces.
These tasks are movement. A key to my well being. And so I press on to healthier body and mind. In simple ways. Everyday. But missing a few here and there.
It’s 2018 and all I’m doing is standing around.
