Are you glued to technology and if so, what do you do to disconnect?
I for one, with my disability, live technology and love it. However, I do not get on social media or websites; I spend my time primarily reading, doing bible studies, and online courses. I rarely step away from technology as I can make the font on my tablets to whatever size I need for that day. Glasses are helpful but there are times when even they are of no use and adjusting fonts is better. I do not sit at a laptop; I have a Kindle, Microsoft Surface, Apple 12" tablet, and my phone.

Everyone is concerned about being healthy while working on a computer, what do you do to try and improve your health? (5 min breaks, standing some while working, walking during the morning, limit time on computer, etc)
I stand once at least every hour. I have a standing desk stand but unable to use as often since I am getting old. The one thing I do not do at home is sit in front of a computer since I do it all day at work.
While working is there anything special you do help ease your mental stress or physical aches? (listen to music, stand while working, etc)
I listen to healthy TV shows or documentaries. I work better with noise. I learned to block out noise while doing my job in a room with 50 other people are talking none stop at various levels and tone. Now, I find comfort in the noise and need it to focus on what I am doing which is silly but 20 years of training imprints on the mind for life.
What advice would you want to give others if you could?
Do what you want to do in life. Do not settle for a job instead of finding a calling. If you are called to something you will find joy in it and it will never seem like work.
