Alternate between standing and sitting. Don't stand barefoot. Wear something with good arch support.

Stop standing until your feet return to normalcy.

It is not natural for human to stand still all day. We are born to move (walking, running). Try to move around to shift weight to different area of your feet

Agree with the above. The biggest thing is not standing barefoot. You may have some underlying standing issues and may need to see a podiatrist for othodics or something. Also standing all day is just as bad as sitting all day. Try to do both.

Rant: my boyfriend is so annoying with this diet! I GET IT. You want to eat healthy! But when you have your friends at our place every other weekend they order pizza and you devour most of 2 boxes! But when I want pizza or wings or burgers I have to hear a whole spiel. “Can we pick something healthier?” “You can order ___ but can I choose something else on the menu?” “I don’t knowwww” like MY GOD. Then if I order something for me he wants half or bites! Sick of it!!!

I have been trying this cold therapy not for fat loss but for my mental well-being. I usually do 30 secs on and off for 3-4 times in shower and not sure if it is placebo effect but I instantly feel really good. Andrew Huberman has several podcasts on this topic if anybody is interested.

Discussion post: I feel almost all consulting firms are the same. Mbb, big 4 etc. if you are paid enough there is probably less wlb. If there is good wlb there is not much money. Can you single out a company that you can confidently say pays very well and also has good wlb and also has good opportunities etc.?
