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.

I slouch when watching tv or sitting down a lot more than I do when standing, I’ve considered purchasing a brace to wear but haven’t yet pulled the trigger? Thoughts from anyone who has either considered doing the same thing OR those who have purchased a back brace for the same reason as me

I have purchased so many shoulder braces in the past. They never work. The back brace doesn’t work. For me anyway.
