Research is showing that better posture helps lessen the symptoms of depression. If you are folded over it’s not a very positive position either. If you want to tackle the day you have to be ready and not slouched to the floor. I personally feel happier when I walk with my posture in a straight line. Might just be me, but I feel very sad when I am all dropped over. Stand in a mirror and just see the difference from the side and front. It’s amazing how empowered you feel when you are standing up straight. Check on yourself every so often. Maybe as you fall asleep tonight focus on your deep breathing before you drift off, I will be. As you walk tomorrow do a self check to make sure you are walking with those shoulders back.Well, your Mother Always Told You to Sit Up Straight!
I notice that when I sit at my computer I have a bad habit of slouching. Doing this folds my chest and makes it very hard to get the full belly breath that we need. Messes up all of my chemicals. Next time you are surfing the web, make sure that you are sitting up straight. This is also a good time to practice those breathing exercises. Move that oxygen all around!
Sit up straight, take a deep breath and relax.
