The other day, on the way to work, I hear a person say that a good posture gives them confidence. I think that's quite true. Before I started working, my mom gave me some advice, woman to girl. "Don't hunch, you'll look lazy" she says. I guess she is right, hunching makes you look like you haven't had enough sleep and you'd probably look like a slob. Imagine how much poise you'll have by tweaking a small thing in your life. You'll look like a lady (or man), AND (i think this is the best part of having good posture) you'll be a few inches taller compared to when you were hunching! As a shorty, I think the few inches makes a lot of difference.
To be honest, I hunch a fair bit, but as soon as I realise that I'm hunching, I try to correct my posture. My dad despises us hunching. So, this was one of the ways to get us to stop. He'd yell "Quasimodo!", the Hunchback of Notre Dame! (Love that movie by the way) I guess he doesn't want us to permanently have a hump on our backs, which is rather thoughtful of him. Haha. I didn't appreciate this very much when I was younger, but I sure do now!
I thank my parents for trying to teach us the importance of a good posture. Cause I think it's importance has been overlooked by many people.
Therefore, I decided to add this to my New Year's Resolution List: sit up straight and improve posture. Hope I stick to it! And I hope you guys add that to your list too!
P.S: Patches is doing much better now :) He's got his energy back and his foot is healing well.
