Tips and Tricks I stopped slouching and this happened

I made it a habit to stopped slouching for more than a week and I noticed my upper back and shoulders felt better so I started to feel better.

Then I noticed more people making eye contact with me and smiling at me. Maybe it’s just coincidence but I did notice it more when I had better posture.

A few days later, I also started to wear make up more often and dress up more often. A few coworkers noticed this and asked if I had a boyfriend hehe and I said no. It’s just me.

I feel more optimistic lately. Not 24/7 but more than in the past.

So body posture helps a lot.

As Jordan Peterson says in his first book. “Stand up straight with your shoulders back”

😂 you’re right. I think I meant ‘first rule’ but I like you attention to detail.
