For years, nay, decades, I have had a footstool under my desk at work. I noticed early on that when I leave my feet on the ground, and I’m sitting straight, my legs bounce, usually my right one. I noticed that when I put my feet up and stretched out, the urge to bounce was gone. Some weeks ago, I tried removing the stool. I had reasoned that I was losing precious moments each day, switching from sitting with my feet up, scooted down in the seat, to scooting back up in the seat to put my feet on the floor. On some days, I seemed to do that nearly non-stop.
I just decided to go back to the way I had it. I think that the back-and-forth is much better than bouncing most of the time.
I wonder if on the days the switching back-and-forth had more to do with being more hyper than usual? I’ll have to pay attention to that in the coming weeks.
Thanks ….
