So, I was reading the “12 mindless office habits that are making you unhealthy” quite mindlessly and got to #2…. “resting your hand on your face”….exactly what I was doing. Oops.
Come to think of it, jesus… I do like 10 of 12. That isn’t good at all.
Careful! Resting your face on your hand is how I ended up messing up my nerve and needing the surgery on my arm!
