How Sitting at a Desk Is Draining Your Energy (Techniques to Reduce Tension and Burnout)
Host Brittany Canaski interviews Workstation Wellness Consultant Anne Asher about how stress and long hours at a desk affect physical wellbeing and contribute to burnout. Anne shares her background in movement and chronic pain work and explains why good equipment helps but movement and body awareness are essential. She gives practical desk-alignment guidance and emphasizes gentle habit-building over “perfect posture.” Anne leads two subtle techniques for desk workers: a slow, relaxed “hissing” exhale to calm the nervous system and an ear-finger cue with a small nod to reset head/neck alignment. She also recommends frequent short movement breaks to support energy, focus, and long-term health.
