    If it helps to know, sitting with our legs at a 90⁰ amgle is about the worst thing we can do and its why sitting causes so many lower back problems for people. Check out the "QOR360" chair. Its designed to not only keep your hips above your knees, keeping your hip flexors open, but it also pivots and you get a core workout from it. It's a lifesaver!

    I'm really glad you've decided to priorize time off. It's so rare to really get a full break, I believe it's critical to take those times when we can, and do it on our own terms. I'm currently on a 3-month health leave from work - I thought I'd want to engage periodically with work (by choice) and I've been surprised by how little I've wanted to, and how nourishing it's been to be 100% in control of how and when it happens. Your plans sound really holistic which doesn't surprise me at all!
