October Monthly Challenge: Stop Sitting All Day and Stand (Or Sit on the Floor) More
If you’re like most people, there’s a good chance you’re sitting down right now. Whether it’s at your desk at work, on the couch in front of the TV, or even in the car, we spend a significant amount of time in a seated position. But for the month of October, we challenge you to stand up more and even sit on the floor from time to time. Taking inspiration from Japanese culture, where sitting on the floor is a common practice, we aim to break free from the constraints of our desk chairs and give our bodies some much-needed variety. Now, we’re not saying to throw out all your furniture and live like minimalist nomads, but a few more minutes every hour each day spent standing or sitting on the floor could do wonders for your posture and overall wellness.
What to Watch: Knock at the Cabin on Amazon Prime
M. Night Shyamalan’s movies tend to be quite polarizing; people either love them or hate them. I can’t say I love all his films, but Knock at the Cabin is definitely one I would recommend. This film follows a family on vacation in a remote cabin who are suddenly visited by a mysterious stranger. What follows is a tense and unpredictable story that will keep you guessing until the very end. Shyamalan proves once again that he has a talent for crafting suspenseful tales that leave a lasting impression. So if you’re looking for a thrilling and suspenseful ride, this movie is definitely worth checking out. Available to watch on Amazon Prime.
