​My home is where my heart is. It is where I live life with my family. It is also a vortex of distraction! So as a business owner I have to LEAVE to get things done without constant interruptions like food prep, laundry and demands for popcorn from my toddler.
 
Consequently, I spend a good deal of time on my laptop in coffeeshops as I have since college. I work well mentally in this environment, but it is royally unpleasant for my posture! If you’ve read my post “Head over Heels… Or Hips”, you learned tons of amazing posture tips for your desk space that are impossible to implement if you go someplace else to work!
 
So how do we protect our necks, and backs from the coffee shop posture blues? Here are my favorite tools that I bring with me to set up a “traveling” office.

Head Over Heels... Or Hips

Did you know that your head is about as heavy as a bowling ball? And did you know that for every inch forward your head moves away from your body you can add 10 lbs to its weight! If you pretend that your head is a bowling ball and your spine is stick it’s resting on it, can you imagine how exhausting it would be to hold that ball up if it wasn’t balancing right on top of the stick?! No wonder we have so much neck and back pain!
​
​Don’t be discouraged; it’s not just you! The temptation to slouch and let the head move forward is natural to ALL people. Our bodies are built in such a way that we do almost everything in front of us. We gravitate (quite literally) to where we are focused. The increasing engagement with technology in our culture makes this problem even more prevalent. More and more jobs are desk jobs. When we’re not on computers we are often on our phones or occasionally even reading books ;)
