Bad Posture, Bad Mood!!!

Bad Posture in Front of the Computer!!!

Whenever you are sitting in front of a computer, be aware of your posture and keep your feet evenly supported on the ground.

As many people find themselves spending more time sitting behind a screen or standing for hours without interruption, paying attention to your posture is more important than ever.

If you have never thought too much about whether you are sitting or standing, and your posture is harming your health, you may want to start before you find yourself in a bad mood.

Here’s why:

Every time we lean forward 60 degrees, the tension exerted on our neck increases dramatically.

This can lead to numbness, pain, pinched nerves, and inadequate breathing, none of which is good for your mood!

Stress in the neck can also lead to tension in the upper back and shoulder muscles, resulting in headaches that can be very frequent for some people who habitually have bad posture.

Your body language is closely related to posture. A slumped posture can make us appear sad, fearful, or disinterested towards peers, leading to different treatment that can discourage us without even realizing it.

In a 2015 article, researchers concluded that when faced with a high-stress situation, study participants with good posture maintained higher self-esteem and mood.

While those with bad posture experienced higher stress and used negative words to describe their experience.
