Stand up straight. When you're standing, make sure your feet are shoulder-width apart and your back is straight. Your shoulders should be relaxed and your head should be held high.
Walk with good posture. When you're walking, make sure your head is held high and your back is straight. Your arms should swing naturally at your sides.
Sleep in a good position. When you're sleeping, make sure your head and neck are supported by a pillow. Your back should be straight and your legs should be extended.
Wear comfortable shoes. High heels can put pressure on your feet and ankles, which can lead to bad posture. Wear comfortable shoes that provide support for your feet and ankles.

Reduced pain and discomfort
Improved overall health
Increased energy levels
Better sleep
Improved mood
Increased confidence
