General: Stand Tall

Tuesday 14th February 2006

Now that you have a memory of yourself, this week let’s talk about something that is more physical than emotional, but has a direct impact on your confidence as it relates to how other see and relate to you: your posture.

People who stand tall ooze confidence! Not only will you seem more confident, you can make yourself appear several pounds lighter as well as help relieve tension in your body. Here’s how to strike your own posture perfect stance:

  • Stand with your feet hip-width apart
  • Starting from your pelvis, pull your tummy muscles in and up towards your chest
  • Give your shoulders a good shrug to help relieve tension, then gently roll your shoulders back
  • Imagine that your neck is lengthening, but keep your chin tucked in a little and look straight ahead
  • Finally, imagine that an invisible thread is holding you in place - running right from the crown of your head, through your body and down to the floor

Give it a whirl this week and let us know how you feel. My guess, you’ll feel like you walking on top of the world.
