When I stand fully erect with my spine elongated as much as possible and my shoulders back I feel a sense of strength and personal power.

OMG! I was just thinking this the other day about how I feel so much better when I have good posture. I had realized I had been being slumped over when I was depressed and hadn't even been aware of it. There is definitely a mind-body thing going on with me.

I have to sleep in such a cramped position in my car
that I wouldn't be able to straighten out. I just go with
whatever is most comfortable.

I'm always in touch with my body- both the good and not so good.

I have a slight congenital curvature of the spine.

I've never been able to stand completely straight.

It's getting worse as I age

When I enter a room chest first I have increased confidence levels. Standing tall and pulling my shoulders back makes me 'feel good' too. Endorphins perhaps, as when exercising.dono..

For me, posture/body can improve the mood/mind naturally.
