That's really interesting. I suffer with depression and was once told to walk with my head held high as it 's supposed to have a positive impact on the condition. The problem is on those 'dark' days it takes too much effort to walk like that.

yes, can be hard.

some good tips on the link even when sitting - I jut tried it and it works

and I was told to try frowning when looking up and smiling when looking down - hmmm, so keeping chin up really helps the smile come

I was a dance teacher for years, teaching adults, posture work was the most important part of any course I taught as it improved balance and confidence...also don't forget, good posture helps our breathing!"

My posture isn't good. I have lost 3" in height, and big boobs make me want to stoop. I have my dvd exercises which I need to push myself to do.
