Stand Up Straight!

It sounds crazy, but did you know that if you sit and stand with good posture you can be happier and healthier?

Your brain is constantly receiving messages from your body, and even simple things like how you move can make a difference. As people get older they tend to slouch, which tells your brain that something is wrong, and it's harder to have positive thoughts. Good posture (a straight back, shoulders back,and the head directly over the shoulders) boosts your confidence and reduces stress and fatigue

    1. Now that I'm attempting to stand tall I really notice when other people aren't.

  3. YES! Stand tall, shoulders back, lead with your hips. It's a huge thing for your well being. That's why it's so important to exercise because that helps keep every thing aligned, strengthened, able to hold you in place better. Eyes, nose, toes, all in a line. It's good advice for the whole body.

  5. I never was a straight sitter. Maybe I'll try it again. But I went down the rabbit hole and found this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6xbXOp7wDA It's two hours long but it holds your attention all the way through. It's about dopamine and addiction. And the addiction can be anything. The gal in the video had an addiction to romance novels. It's all about dopamine.
