Manage your equilibrium, work on your balance - Habit of the week

We sit or stand for many hours each day.  If we are not quite in balance, namely, slightly leaning or twisting to the left or right, this imbalance can be amplified by the amount of time we are in a particular position. So check, right now, is your body weight more on the right side or the left.  This is especially important when you are concentrating on a particular tasked, when you are absorbed in it.

So, the habit of the week, for this week, is to sit or stand with your body in balance - left or right.

If you are already pretty well adjusted.  How about practising your balance. Check right now.   Stand for just a few seconds on one leg.  Be careful, have something to hold onto like a chair or a counter just in case you start wobbling.  If standing on one leg is too easy, make it harder.  Make it a challenge, just make sure you have the back up of the chair, or whatever, to hold on to.

So, habit of the week is also practise your balance.. You will see an improvement by the end of the week.
