About this episode
There is something "new" trending with our young people called "Bed Rotting." It's where our youth stay in bed for days on end looping on Netflix or TikTok videos, etc. It's actually nothing new although the modern tech in bed is new. In the late 1800s, a neuropsychic condition developed--people tried to cure it with more bed rest--it backfired. People then realized what people needed to heal themselves mentally was NOT more bed rest but less bed rest and more PHYSICAL work! Here's a look back so you can move forward--better with more whole-body integration and well-being.
