1 Minute Habit for June 20

Adjust your chair or seating position

Your future back will thank you for this—it’s like hitting the reset button on your posture before stiffness sets in!

Small posture shifts help prevent chronic pain and improve energy, focus, and comfort throughout your day.

We often sit for hours without noticing how we’re doing it. A quick adjustment to your chair, posture, or position can relieve pressure and improve your mood in minutes.

This tiny shift is an investment in long-term physical comfort and mental alertness.

Reduces long-term strain on your spine and shoulders—prevention is easier than fixing pain later!
Encourages body awareness so you notice slouching sooner.
Takes seconds but has lasting benefits for comfort and energy.
Might inspire you to finally set up that ergonomic workspace.
Feels like giving your body a mini 'thank you' for all it does.

I had been working for hours when I did this habit and realized I was practically folded in half. I straightened my back, adjusted my chair, and stacked a couple of books under my laptop. It felt so much better instantly—and now I check my posture every afternoon.
