Fruit for thought



Sometimes life makes us sit more than is ideal.  Here are four ways to make ourselves stand up a bit more:

1.     Drink more water.  This is a win-win.  First, we are more hydrated, which is always a good thing.  Then we have to get up to use the bathroom.
2.     Be inefficient.  Most of the time efficiency is awesome, but when we are stuck sitting, it can be a life-saver.  Take the extra trip to bring in the groceries.  Bring the copies back to your desk before you go check with your coworker about that other issue.
3.     Be helpful.  Offer to get a refill for other folks just to get the walk to the coffee maker.  Take an extra turn emptying the dishwasher.
4.     Get curious.  What was that sound?  Did the mail come?  I wonder what that batch of sirens was about outside the office.

Do whatever it takes.  Standing is good for us.
