Posture

Did your Mother or Grandmother ever have you walk around with a book on your head?  Mine did.
Sounds stupid and it felt stupid but it got you to stand up straight.  And that is a good thing.  When I watch people I am amazed at what poor posture is out there!  Have you ever seen an older person that walks with their head?  Which means that their head is about 6 or 8 inches ahead of their butt…it looks so uncomfortable and just not natural.
Whenever I see anyone walking like that I want to ask if they are capable of standing up straight.  Or if they realize they aren’t standing up straight.  Would asking someone  be rude??  I’m  really torn about that -rude-not rude.  Can't decide.
I also see people that hunch their back.  Too me, that  looks lazy. 
I would like to encourage people to try balancing a book on your head when you walk around your house once in a while.  It’s good to know what standing up straight feels like.  Or you could imagine being pulled up by a string.  That helps too…….just try it!
