When it comes to your health we all talk of exercise, diet, nutrition, sleep etc but we tend to miss posture. Position in which u hold your body through out your 24 hours- when you stand, sit or sleep. If your posture is not right, u will not only experience muscles tightness,
but also your nerves or organs may not be working efficiently as there is compression involved. Posture is key for good health. Many of us suffer from poor posture. Here are some key points to check about how to have a proper posture. Let’s talk today on standing posture.
Stand tall. Start with your feet. Distribute weight evenly on your feet. Try to notice do u put weight more on one feet. Grab some awareness and make sure u have weight evenly distributed while standing. Notice do u scrunch your toes. Ease it out. Knees should neither be locked
nor bend. Somewhere in between. Stand up straighter by strengthening your spine. Don’t over arch - happens more when you wear high heels or the opposite position when u have tight hamstrings. Keep the natural S curve.
Don’t have your shoulders rolled forward. Keep chest open. Thumbs forward.If ur thumbs are facing each other means shoulders are rolled forward. With an open rib cage u will breathe much better. Ensure ur neck in line with spine. Continuous working on screen moves ur neck forward

So the way it works - close your eyes. U will still see lot of light. Cover them with your palm. U may still see coloured lights or flashes. That means your eyes are stressed. Take deep breathe with eyes closed for 60-90 seconds till u stop seeing the lights.

Only a few years back, I had a work schedule that rarely allowed me to see my family and had me stressed to maximum. I rarely had time for holidays. In fact I just had very few holidays with my boys. I was over weight and unhealthy eating fried and fatty.
I was over my head in debt.I wasn’t exercising and I was a smoker. My life was complicated and I didn’t have time for anything that I loved. And though I was aware of it but had no time to even plan a way out.
And then the car crash happened which forced me to get things order. To Simplify. To make positive changes.
