I will be sure to make a habit of practicing strong breaths, every so often. I find simple routines not only increase my awareness of my body, but improve the quality of the workday.

When you're sitting in your car or at your desk. Try to take in a deep intra-abdominal breath. The deep kind they teach you in yoga. If your posture is where it should be, you will be able to get a full strong draw of air allowing your belly to expand outwards. You should practice this once every hour or two a day. It will really help you be mindful of your body's position. Nice Blog ;) One thing to note about posture. When you’re sitting in your car or at your desk.

I too have a bad posture when I'm driving and I know it has a lot to do with my concentration behind the wheel. When I'm really focused on what I'm doing or I am stressed, the last thing on my mind is my posture. I really should think about it, I know, but sometimes it truly is the last thing on my mind. I've tried instead to shift my position every few minutes, or so, and that seems to work even when I'm really focused on what I'm doing. It took a lot of work to train myself to do that-- don't get me wrong-- but it did help. Oh I’m so glad you brought this up!

It took a lot of work to train myself to do that– don’t get me wrong– but it did help.
