LPT: Working long hours makes it way too easy to…

​LPT: Working long hours makes it way too easy to unconsciously slump or lean, which ends up causing severe strain. Sitting cross legged naturally keeps your spine straight and stops your body from doing that.

I usually work long hours sitting on the floor in a cross legged posture, which always helped me sit for long hours. I recently started using an office chair I bought a year ago.

​A couple of days back, I had some emergency work that should have taken a couple of hours at most. But my laptop was not working properly, so it took more than eight hours. I sat in my chair almost continuously with only two or three small breaks. Working for that long, I didn't even notice I was leaning to the right side the whole time.

​This caused severe pain on my right side, to the point where I could barely move. I went to the hospital and the doctor told me it was all because of sitting with bad posture for so many hours.

​Now I realize that sitting in a cross legged posture is itself helpful for avoiding these unconscious movements of the body.

​So, be conscious of your sitting posture while working long continuous hours. Previously, sitting on the floor in a cross legged posture (Ardha Siddhasana) worked for me, and now I will get back to that.
