Re: Re: Colleen/Sim Working full-time...

[Guest guest]

I bought one of these and used it for a few weeks. At first, I thought I felt

something ... a sense of calm. Over time, that equanimity didn't last for me. I

tucked the mat away and stopped using (mainly because it was cold and you have

to put bare feet on it)... Thanks for reminding me, Joanne... I just took it out

and will try again.

" )

PS I also read the book EARTHING. It's really an interesting read. It seems

there is something to Earth connection. I also feel better when outside with my

bare feet on the ground... did that yesterday. It's just so hard to do it every

day.

> Ugh the fumes! No wonder you feel awful when you are there. I can't handle

chemical fumes or perfumes, smoke, cleaning agents, dusty, moldy smells, any of

that stuff. It causes my lungs to tighen and I get bad headaches. Yes, sitting

at a computer is not good for us at all. I get pretty bored of it too. I like to

move around more. I still think if I go back to waitressing, I might improve my

health again. I know its not considered a professional job, but it makes decent

money even though there are no benefits. I pay for my own insurance now since my

employers' insurance is too expensive. I am not taking any meds or treatments,

so I do ok.

aware of that. We aren't the only ones that have issues with strong odors.

> Colleen, I'm a Graphic Designer. I'm at the computer all day, and it's a long

day from 8.00am to 5.00pm. I've been told that humans shouldn't sit at a

computer for more than 5 hrs a day! I'm applying for other positions, but then I

think if I get an interview, how am I going to feel on that day??? I work at a

printing business and some days the fumes from the printers ink and cleaning

chemicals/solvents are soooo strong. My boss doesn't believe in doors so even

though my job requires me to work in the " office " he subjects everyone in there

to the crap/fumes from out the back where the printers are. I pray I can win the

lotto...lol

full time most of the time. It depends on how many hours they need me at work.

But I do IT work, so I sit at a computer all day. Some days its bad, but what

bothers me the most is how I have to go back out into the cold to go home (I

live in Michgan). The cold causes so much pain and flare-ups for me.

> > What do you do for work? Do you sit at a desk or are you on your feet? A

few years ago, I was a waitress and I swear it helped me because I was moving

constantly and keeping the muscles warm. Although it wore me out each day, I was

in much better physical shape than I am now. Sitting on your butt all day at an

office is so bad for your health. See if you can get some type of exercise,

even if it's easy walking or some stretching.
