Day 12 - Posture

“Today we are focusing on our posture and how simply finding proper alignment in our spine affects everything from our mood to our immunity.”

- Em Hrovat

Journal Thoughts

Your posture determines who you are. How we arrange our muscles affects how we feel about ourselves. The more mechanically distorted a person is the less energy is available for thinking, metabolism and healing. Aligned posture helps maintain healthy communication between your brain and body. This  reduces cortisol levels, which means reduced stress and elevated mood.  

Bring awareness to your posture as often as possible today - while you are driving, working and texting. Give yourself cues throughout the day to lengthen your spine, sit taller, drop your shoulders back, unclench your jaw and feel the strength of your core as it holds you upright. Take note of how many times you catch yourself slouching.
