Quotes about Posture

    “Attend carefully to your posture.  Quit drooping and hunching around.  Speak your mind.  Put your desires forward, as if you had a right to them—at least the same right as others.  Walk tall and gaze forthrightly ahead.  Dare to be dangerous.  Encourage the serotonin to flow plentifully through the neural pathways desperate for its calming influence.” ~ Jordan Peterson, via 12 Rules for Life (Page 28)

      “If your posture is poor, for example—if you slump, shoulders forward and rounded, chest tucked in, head down, looking small, defeated and ineffectual (protected, in theory, against attack from behind)—then you will feel small, defeated and ineffectual.  The reactions of others will amplify that.  If you present yourself as defeated, then people will react to you as if you are losing.  If you start to straighten up, then people will look at and treat you differently.” ~ Jordan Peterson, via 12 Rules for Life (Page 26)
