Let’s play a game. Stand up straight. Go ahead — I’ll wait. Feel taller? That’s the magic of good posture.

Slouching doesn’t just make you look like you’re hauling the groceries. It scrunches your waist, makes your back ache, and — gasp! — adds a few years to your look.

But stand tall, and everything changes. Your waist gets longer and smaller (remember that inch I mentioned?), your chest lifts, your neck looks like a swan’s (bye-bye, turkey neck/double chin).

Suddenly, you’ve got that “I own the room” energy — even if you’re just picking out tomatoes at the store.

Good posture is the fastest way to look and feel more self-confident — and it’s free. Plus, you are aging backward. Yay!

Here’s to standing tall and owning your sparkle.
