Arveda is not going to slouch at the supper table tonight.

Untitled 1 week ago

This is going to be very hard for me, so I’m going to make the actual goal “Use good posture when other people are watching”. I will focus on that until the end of July and then judge my progress.



Small changes 3 weeks ago

I’m starting to pay more attention to my posture and noticing when I tend to slouch. As a result, I’ve changed where I do work on my laptop and adjusted the chair height so I can sit comfortably without getting into weird positions.

Calling this "done" 1 month ago

A vague goal like “improve” is always hard to call completed. If I totally sucked, and now I suck a little less, I’ve technically “improved”, but wouldn’t call it done. That’s why I’ve left this for more than a year.

Recently, though, as I’ve been working on the Wii Fit, I’ve noticed a definite improvement, and it’s also telling me I have good posture. Beyond that, as I was walking down the hall yesterday, I was suddenly started to notice how straight and tall I was carrying myself as I walked.

So I’m going to call this “done” in the sense that my posture, while still needing improvement, is no longer bad.

Such a huge effect on your confidence... 1 month ago

I did this when I was in my final year in school. I was always quite shy, not intorverted, but I was never the loudest voice to be heard. I rememember there was a particular girl in my class whom I admired. She was friends with everyone, always smiling, always happy. And she always held her back straight and her head high. I thought to myself, maybe if I throw my head back like that, and walk with the same confidence she exudes, I might feel better about myself.
So I made a conscious effort to straighten my shoulders and hold my head high. I let people see me instead of just letting them assume I was there. Almost instantly I began to make new friends and feel so much better about myself.
It took a while to get used to, but noticing how much better I felt when I did it kept me going. It was turning on a light switch every time I straightened up!
I was influenced in doing this by someone I admired. I wanted to have what she had. Holding your head high really has such a huge effect on your confidence. Just tell yourself that you deserve to be seen & heard just as much as everyone else, ONLY MORE! ;)
If you’re very shy & self conscious, you might fear holding your head high. But just try it once – you’ll see that nearly everyone else is just like you used to be!

why? 2 months ago

This is NOT GOING WELL! But I’m hoping to start going to dancing classes and maybe that’ll help. Why’s this so difficult?
