Monday Tip Move - The Chief Happiness Officer Blog Did you know that because we are descended from nomads, the human body is really designed to walk 10 km a day. Less physical activity than that is actually harmful. Spending a day sitting in your car, at your desk, in your car and on the couch in front of the TV is as unhealthy as smoking a pack of cigarettes. No kidding! Most of us today have jobs that are high on brain activity and low on physical activity not good. A body is more than that thing, that carries my head from one meeting to the next, and the state of your body is vital for your physical well-being and for your creativity and energy. So today, do what you would normally do but move your body while you do it. Walk around a little while talking on the phone. Have a stand-up meeting. Sit as little as possible. Walk over to talk to colleagues, instead of emailing or phoning. Basically use every chance you get to activate your body. Notice how it feels and how this may actually make you less tired both mentally and physically than sitting passively in your chair all day.
