THE GOOD POSTURE POST

Sit up straight! Walk taller!

Look in the mirror and see what good posture can do for you. Haven been a trained ballerina standing tall and sitting up straight comes naturally to me. People often think I am on the taller side, the honest truth is its all in the way I stand and sit. I'm just under 5'6, but with my posture and heels I come off taller.

Good posture can instantly make a woman appear slimmer and refined. Pulled back shoulders and a head held high can even make you appear younger. Have you ever seen an attractive woman hunched over? I've seen it may times and it is not pleasing to the eye. A woman who walks with good posture can surely turn heads. There is a mystery behind her confidence... 

One thing my grandmother always instilled in me was exactly what this post is on. She believed the better the posture the less chance of having spinal issues and turning into a hunchback in my older years. Its funny how the older generations have such sound advice. I wish I could remember all the words she spoke of, she was such an incredible person.... 

Ok, back to my post.

Did you know that poor posture also leads to several other problems like improper digestion?

Here are some simple tips to help you get started.

1. Remember change is not easy. For some, you may experience an uncomfortable feeling because you are pulling your muscles in a way you haven't before. Allow time to get used to the new you.

2. Sit like a Regal Royal. Head straight, shoulders pulled back and your legs crossed at the ankles. Crossing your legs at the knees may look appealing but if you are trying to keep good health, cross at the ankles.

3. Walk like you own the room. Look up, not down and your shoulders should not be slumped over.Even if you are feeling less than confident, standing tall may be the boost you need to feel better about yourself (for those few minutes at least). Making such a small adjustment can reap such high rewards. You may even get " You look like you lost weight!" compliment.

I hope I've inspired you to sit up during this post, even if it were for the quick minute reading. 

So, how do you practice good posture?
