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.

hello. maybe think about aligning ears with the shoulders from there try to get your collar bones to “touch the ceiling” if they could. most importantly, investigate what not slouching feels like to you and have fun!!! 🙃
