Stop acting like a loser and become more confident with these workouts for better posture. She said in the nicest way possible to herself. It’s called tough self love. I know, very cringe.
When I was a kid my mom would often pinch me on my back & tell me gently: “Fix your posture”. And then I’d do the opposite & slouch to show her who’s the boss here.
Ah, memories. All that sweet woman wanted was to make me look better and feel more confident and not like the world is going to CRUSH me. That I should to be proud of who I am. Proud to be here.
Well at least that’s my interpretation, she always expressed it like this: “You’ll get a hunchback like your grandmother”.
Now, look at me. Trying to get a better posture after 15 years. Doing all kind of crazy stuff, because of some TED talk that taught me I’ll be an unhappy self-conscious loser if I don’t sit, stand or walk straight.
And yet, even my undeniably positive self, actually knows a good posture is a game changer. Physically of course, but to me, mostly, mentally.
Fixing your posture can make you look & FEEL a 100x better. You don’t need to be skinny, beautiful or smart. All you need to do is walk straight and pull your shoulders back. Ugh.
I wish I could do that.
Oh, wait, I actually can if I stop being a jerk and try. People have even created exercises to improve posture.
