Every year, the floor was getting a little further away. That is to say, it became harder to go from sitting on the floor to standing again, so I’d avoid getting on the floor unless the cat belly was particularly enticing.
I decided a few months ago to dig my medtitation cushion out of storage, and convert a small patio side table to a floor-desk for my tablet/keyboard, where I do the bulk of my internet time wasting.
Just this morning, I realized that I’m popping up and down with a lot more ease than when I started, so the floor is now officially at a distance it was at maybe 15 years ago.
Edit: This edit might break the rules, but this is the first post I’ve ever made that included the image of the post in the post.


Very very interesting. I wanted to do this with squatting since it’s supposedly a more natural way to sit than on a chair, it seems i haven’t managed it for a while. Cross legged sitting (which i presume you are doing) is also good
I have a few different positions. Sometimes cross legged, sometimes one knee on the floor and the other foot flat on the ground. Somtimes both foot flat on the ground. It’s good to shift around to keep the blood flowing and the nerves from getting staticky.
Squatting is on my wish list, but it’s intensely uncomfortable with how tight my calves and hips are, but maybe sitting on the floor is a good intermediate step.
