How to Have Perfect Posture
Here’s a simple tip for perfect posture: Walk like you’re wearing a cape.
Really. Feel the weight of the cape pulling slightly back on the shoulders. Feel the superhero power and plant each step firmly.
Our posture reflects our inner state of being:
- When you are sad…slouch ed shoulders, chin down, steps hesitant.
- When you are aligned…shoulders back, chin parallel to the ground, back straight, powerful steps.
Standing tall. You can also imagine there is a piece of string tied to the top of your head…pulling you up. Let it elongate your spine, your neck, your stomach, your thighs.
Let your abdominal muscles ENGAGE! Let your body twirl around this solid center core.
After twenty days of consciously “wearing a cape,” you’ll begin to do it automatically.
The secret of posture is that it works both ways…your emotions can change your posture…but your posture can also change your emotions!
When you straighten up, you will feel more powerful, alert, courageous, and strong.
Try it today…walk with total certainty, with a string pulling you toward the heavens, shoulders back like you’re wearing a cape!
