Posture!

I read a really interesting article the other day about how your posture and spinal alignment affects the health of your whole body. I did a quick check of my own posture and realised with horror that I spend my life with my shoulders permanently hunched under my ears and my spine slumped in a nasty position.

So... my new project is improving my posture so I can walk tall and look like one of those fabulous older British actresses who walk like duchesses and have that commanding straight-backed presence. Or failing that, just to not look so much like a sack of potatoes while sitting at my desk!

So far it's going well, though sitting all day yesterday with my back straight and shoulders back made all the muscles across my back scream in protest. Proof I need to work on it, obviously. I even went home and did stomach crunches and back exercises. I feel so virtuous. Not to mention taller and thinner...

Self-improvement really can be fulfilling...
