Eliminate chairs from your environment to address the root cause of compromised posture and sedentary modern life. Instead, adopt the ‘hundred different rest positions on the ground’ which are micro-nutrients for standing and nourish an amazing physiology.
Set aside 30 minutes daily for ground resting positions, building up incrementally (e.g., 5-6 minutes at a time), to cultivate a new habit that improves posture and physical strength.
Integrate hanging into your routine to leverage our arboreal heritage, strengthening wrists, elbows, shoulders, and scapular components. This practice helps lift the ribcage and builds the strength needed to maintain good posture.
Wear barefoot or minimalist shoes, such as Vivo Barefoot, to support natural foot function and alignment. This approach helps counteract the detrimental effects of conventional footwear on posture and movement.
Actively seek opportunities to move and avoid sitting in everyday environments, such as choosing to stand and hang on bars on public transport instead of taking a seat. Also, opt for kneeling instead of sitting during tasks like podcasts to nourish joints.
Set a timer to ensure you spend at least 2 hours and 24 minutes (10% of 24 hours) outdoors daily, as connecting with nature can drop you into a parasympathetic state similar to breath work.
Propose walking meetings with colleagues and take your work (e.g., answering emails, reading) to a local park or under a tree. This leverages nature’s ability to promote well-being and a parasympathetic state.
Choose one fundamental physical human need (movement, sleep, rest, play, food, sunlight, or air) to focus on and improve each month, empowering yourself through conscious choices.
Dedicate a specific day of the week, like Tuesday, to intentionally behave according to how you want to be, making wise choices that nourish your physical, social, and spiritual self. This practice can lead to desired behaviors unraveling into every day.
Display nature scenes on your screensavers to help induce a parasympathetic state, even when you are indoors.
Incorporate AG1, a daily health drink, into your routine to support digestion and enrich your gut microbiome with beneficial bacteria, potentially increasing them tenfold.
