Hey ,
Where do we founders spend most of our time?
On a chair.
As founders, we spend countless hours glued to our desks, immersed in the hustle and bustle of building our dreams.
Yet, the truth is, how we sit matters—a lot.
Poor posture not only affects our physical health but also impacts our mental clarity, energy levels, and overall performance as founders
Today at glance:
1. 90% founders sit incorrectly which has many negative impacts.
2. Some practical tips from a founder to a founder to have a good sitting posture.
3. A Cheat Code practice for not only good posture but for enhancing your performance, focus, energy, mood, and overall well-being.
Did you know that up to 90% of founders sit incorrectly or have bad posture due to a sedentary lifestyle?
From slouching over keyboards to hunching over smartphones, our modern habits wreak havoc on our bodies and minds, leading to a myriad of consequences:
The good news?
Correcting our sitting posture is easier than we think, and the benefits are well worth the effort.
How?
You got us.
Here are some practical yet uncommon tips from one founder to another for improving sitting posture and reclaiming your vitality:
Mind Your Alignment: Sit up straight with your shoulders relaxed and your spine in a neutral position. Avoid slouching or leaning forward, and keep your feet flat on the ground or supported by a footrest.
Elevate Your Screen: Position your computer screen at eye level to prevent neck strain and encourage good posture. Use a laptop stand or stack of books if necessary to achieve the optimal height.
Take Frequent Breaks: Just stand up, it’s that simple. Incorporate regular breaks into your workday to stretch and move your body. Set a timer to remind yourself to stand up, walk around, and perform simple stretches every hour.
Engage Your Core: Strengthen your core muscles to support your spine and maintain good posture throughout the day. Practice exercises such as planks, bridges, and pelvic tilts to build stability and alignment.
Try Shoulder blad pose: You don’t even have to stand, just gently squeeze your shoulder blades together, hold for a few seconds, then release. Repeat this motion several times throughout the day to improve posture and alleviate tension in the upper back and shoulders.
By now you already know it.
Here’s comes the magical cheat code to elevate our performance:
The Diamond pose or Vajrasana
This seated posture helps align the spine, open the chest, and engage the core muscles, promoting a strong and stable foundation for optimal performance.
It’s definitely way simpler than running day to day ops at your work.
