I spend 50%+ at my time at home sitting on a yoga ball. It will help your core and legs so much! Active sitting is benefical for blood sugar control as well if you're T2 diabetic. It's also fun and silly. It's normal to be sore when you start. Make sure you find a ball that's appropriate for your height & weight, they are not one size fits all, and be prepared to need to return (or regift!) a ball that doesn't work for you. Yoga ball holders for the wall are expensive but a budget option is a hammock meant for stuffed animal display. I have mind insanely perched behind/between our TV against the wall. Yoga balls are fucking amazing I always make everyone who comes over sit on mine. Bounce your troubles away :)

that’ll change my advice. are your hips even when you sit? when you walk? do you sit at work all day? do you lift heavy shit a lot?
general things to try: legs up the wall for 20 mins a day; pigeon or figure 4 to release the hips; gentle supine twists + thread the needle holds

I feel like 12 is a wonderful place to start. 1 book a month. Keep it in your bathroom. Beside your bed. Where you eat your meals. Please read this year. It's one of the best things you can do for yourself. and for me, and for everyone who you'll tell, I'm reading again, and you should read with me too. Take pictures or screencaps of passages and send them to your friends. Read funny, easy books, evil and upsetting books, books that are boring but are still satisfying to finish. Go to the library. Challenge yourself. You will feel better, you'll feel proud of yourself, and you'll banish the negative moodlet of being mad or ashamed at yourself for not reading. It's ok that you haven't been. You had your reasons and it doesn't do any good to beat up on yourself. That was then and this was now. Start a book tomorrow bc it is a new day :)

I don't listen to any AI generated playlists because I prefer to hear ones curated by people. I love sharing music as a human to human thing. It's also dismaying how music streaming services prioritize the songs of artists whose management pay them, etc.
It's so fun to simply browse anonymous person's curated lists instead on top of sharing with friends. It's never been easier to peek into someone else's semi-private music preference and walk their landscape. Just today I found a person who's made dozens of playlists for specific beanie babies (!), all with no saves or likes.
We don't need AI driven sorting to develop taste and find things we like. Break out of the corral with me and run free. Let's see what's over the hill
