Last Updated on January 7, 2021

#4 – Pull back your shoulder blades

Your shoulders are the basic constituents of your posture. When you pull them back and push your torso a little bit forward, you allow your shoulders to move freely, this simple move will help you maintain a straight posture and feel more comfortable (and confident) while sitting or standing. Try it now! See?

#5 – Get up and move every so often

Another tip to help improve your posture is to lead an active lifestyle. It’s also a great idea to stop slouching a lot or carrying heavy objects. This type of stress burdens your back and can ruin your healthy and straight posture. Moreover, maintaining a good posture will help you prevent exhaustion and also keep future back pain at bay.

#6 – Be aware of your posture

Being aware is key because whenever you bend over for a long while, you tend to forget to sit up. Remember to keep an eye on how you sit or stand. Once you catch yourself slouching, take action and sit up immediately. If you still forget about it, write it down on a piece of paper and stick it to your laptop or even set a daily reminder on your phone.

#7 – Do not slump when sitting or standing

Avoid slumping over when talking to someone. People usually lean over when they are conversing, which causes the body to get a couple of health issues including shoulder, jaw and back pain, headaches, in addition to gastrointestinal and heart problems. Slumping is not only unhealthy but also gives you an unprofessional look.

#8 – Keep your phone in your hand when calling someone

Whenever you are talking to someone on the phone, do not lean your head or rely on your shoulder to raise and support the device. This can damage both your shoulder blade and posture. Remember to always keep your phone in your hand, also, there’s a reason why they invented headphones and the ‘speaker’ option.
