The digestive organs are injured by stagnation. Desk or remote virtual jobs, long hours of studying, research and writing keep us seated. Relaxing and decompressing may also become habituated to screen time, gaming or media binging. Fatigue sets in from lack of activity; a sedentary life is injurious. Frankly, it is killing us slowly. The combination of oversitting and overthinking is a harmful combination for the earth organs, particularly the spleen. The lack of healthy circulation settles dampness deep into our systems. If you are prone to oversitting, please build in healthy habits.
