For the first time
First, because of desk/chair demotions and my compact body, I cannot sit in the ergonomically correct 90˚ angle position. My feet dangle but, in fact, I’ve never felt comfortable that way. I even had one anal retentive teacher in seventh grade who complained to my mother about the way I sat in class!!! Anyway, I’ve been sitting cross-legged which, not only smashes my feet from both sides but also makes them go to sleep!!! I decided I needed a footstool. I’ve got a make-shift one right now but I need a real one.
Second, I noticed that, not only my arches but my Achilles tendons were hurting when I would get out of bed or get up from sitting down for a while. I realize now what this thing is for. Never, in all the time I’ve had Plantar Fasciitis has stretching my Achilles tendons helped. Nor have I ever before experienced pain in them. So, I’m been making an effort to stretch them several times a day.
Sitting:
I didn’t remember yesterday but I did remember today. Today was kind the kind of experience I’m use to. My mind was going in a million different directions and nothing I saw made much sense. Plus, I kept drifting off to sleep.
This is why it’s difficult for me to do it at all. I know I just need to keep plugging away at it but…perfectionism sucks!!!
