Gives me a little proprioceptive and vestibular stimulation on the side to compliment my attention while passing meds at the window. Might not work / be accessible to everybody but it's something to try and if it adds another tool to your coping skills box you're welcome.

I have an adjustable sit stand desk at work. But it's highest settings is a couple cm too low for my wrist comfort.

Why is foot on knee a no no?

    i've been subconsciously doing this while cooking and when i realize i go "oh haha im flamingo :)"

    didn't realize it could help me focus by forcing one to balance

    that is actually a situation I do not reccomend doing that especially if your shower does not have mobility aids like grab handles but also nurse brain hates lots of things like that one time I saw my husband stumble and had a straight up PTSD flashback with visuals where I briefly hallucinated him falling back and hitting his head on the corner of the wall and the adrenaline spike that caused was a WILD ride. Legit though like statistically speaking a lot more people just fall and crack their head and randomly die or spend the rest of their life paralyzed / brain damaged than we're willing to talk about as a society.

    one reason I like a standing desk is I can stretch and sway and move around.

    Funny thing: I do that all the time, when I work at a standing desk. Really funny, though my foot aches if I do it for too long without any shoes or even claps on

    I found i can stand on one leg unsupported for almost 20 minutes by doing this in a meeting where i didn't need to talk. At 19:20 some muscle in my thigh suddenly got a sharp spike of pain so i aborted 😔
