Many people don’t think about what life will be like in the future. They simply just go through life thinking about today. Whilst this is perfectly fine to do, there is nothing wrong with doing things today that you know will help you in the future anyway. One of these simple things is to think about your posture.
Having a good posture today can greatly affect whether you get neck or back problems later in life. You might not realize it but the way you sit plays a huge roll in this.
Some examples of bad posture:
– Slouched forward
– Head pointing down
– Lower back stuck out
– Maybe leaning one way
If you have bad posture over a period of time then your body is going to suffer. Maybe even sooner than you think.
Good posture is all about sitting up straight. Having a straight back and not slouching at all. You’ll instantly feel better if you try this right now. You’ll feel more empowered and eager to get things done too.
Here are a few tips you can try today to constantly have the correct posture:
– Post a note right on your desk to remind you (don’t hide it away in a drawer)
– Invest in office ball chairs which will keep you upright and work your core muscles too
– Add a cushion to an existing chair and prop yourself upright
– Perform regular exercise and stretch your muscles everyday
– Yoga is great for stretching and for flexibility
Always try to be aware of your current posture. If you can correct bad posture right away then you’ll have a greater chance of not having neck and back problems when you are older. If you do feel any aches or pains then it’s always best to get it looked at right away by your doctor.
