Ten Things To Do To Decrease Stress #2

How's your posture? One of the things that can happen to us when we are stressed is that we let our shoulders droop and our posture becomes saggy. Physiologically what this does is increase the tension in the muscles of the shoulders, back and neck. This can actually lead to pain and discomfort in these areas, making us feel more stressed.

Remember to check your posture. Are you sitting upright - are you standing upright? Move those shoulders back and straighten your spine. You'll be amazed at how good this makes you feel.
