Good Posture Boosts Confidence In Anxiety-Inducing Activities    

On The Opposite, A Slumped Posture Puts The Body In A Defensive Posture, Affecting Performance    

Good posture not only aligns the body and provides proper support for the core and the spine, preventing back pain and neck and joint pain. It also gives us confidence. In other words, it not only reflects what others see in us but also affects how we see ourselves. A study related to math problems was performed on a group of students. When the sat in an upright position, they had less difficulty solving the problems, as opposed to other students who sat in a slumped or slouched position. According to the study, slumping is a defensive posture, which distracts the brain, making it underperform, and also triggers negative memories. Also, the posture affected how the students felt about the test, rather than the test itself. According to specialists, a poor posture sets the body in a defensive position, which could increase the sensation of anxiety. It can also affect not only tests but other anxiety-inducing activities, such as a job interview. A good posture could also give more confidence to athletes, public speakers, and musicians, among others. More Information click here.
