for years I am used to sit with my legs on the chair (like one sits on the floor). I either cross my legs or put them to one side. I try to resist it but after a few minuits I rais them again. Is it crucial that I change my habit or can I find a way to stacksit like this. I find it realy hard to change all my hapits.

If I understand correctly, you would like to Stacksit cross-legged while in a chair. This is entirely possible if:
1. You use a wedge to help antevert your pelvis.
2. Your hips are flexible enough and your knees are healthy enough to bend this way.
Often people find sitting cross-legged while Stretchsitting more comfy then Stacksitting.
Other tips that may be helpful:
-Try crossing your ankles rather than your legs-it can give the same level of comfort without compromising your pelvis.
-Plant your feet on the floor and let the friction hold you in place while your knees open a bit-tracking well over the feet.
I hope you find this helpful.
