Anxiety is influenced by how we carry ourselves and how we stand, and vice versa. It is well recognized that having bad posture can affect our anxiety levels and self-esteem. In addition to decreasing the quantity of oxygen and blood reaching your muscles and brain, poor posture can also make you feel more anxious and raise your levels of the stress hormone cortisol.
Slouching or a forward head position can cause weariness and brain fog, both of which can reduce one’s capacity for emotional regulation and resilience. Your body will be able to lessen stress and strain on your muscles, joints, and ligaments as well as the activation of your neural system and the flow of stress hormones by making small changes to your posture.
Here are some explanations for why posture is important:
Confidence: The therapist observed that having good posture aids in lowering cortisol levels in the body and elevating feelings of self-worth and confidence in our own judgments and viewpoints.
Optimal lung function: While bad posture frequently prevents the body from receiving enough oxygen, excellent posture allows the lungs to function at their best.
Reduce Cortisol levels in the body and help combat stress and anxiety: Shallow breathing is accelerated by poor posture, which activates the SNS and raises Cortisol levels. Conversely, excellent posture lowers Cortisol levels in the body.
Improves mood: Good posture helps the body use less energy and less muscle effort, which lifts the mood.
