>I have a regrettable habit of folding my legs on the chair when working and hunch back, which is unhealthy. Nerd neck. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIsx1t8TJq4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIsx1t8TJq4 >Anyone who had struggled with something similar in the past, please share your advice and experience. So here's the thing, my nerd neck was BAD. There are many other videos like this one. There's another trick of fixing your hip angles that will realign things which can help as well; but still effort being made. It's not going to be an instant fix but boy do you ever want to do this. It's a very bad decision to not go this direction. You need to fix your posture for your own sanity. The thing that really helped me the most. Alexander technique. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iriXg5uZ_oU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iriXg5uZ_oU There is a spot where when you get aligned properly, you basically keep good posture automatically without thinking or any effort. In fact your muscles will suddenly relax for the first time in a long time and you'll never go back to bad posture. Alexander technique is lazy living, and yet practically perfect posture. The other thing that will help greatly. Breath properly. When you breath properly, your lungs will put you in good order. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldNnKVGxabA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldNnKVGxabA Incidentally, all of these things tend to lead to anxiety and adhd.

>Incidentally, all of these things tend to lead to anxiety and adhd. I’m curious - are you saying the Alexander method leads to anxiety/adhd? Or that the original postures the Alexander method potentially fixes lead to anxiety/adhd (and thus it could treat anxiety/adhd). I’ve struggled with posture and seen the Alexander method but never given it a fair try. I’m curious to learn more.

  >I’m curious - are you saying the Alexander method leads to anxiety/adhd? Or that the original postures the Alexander method potentially fixes lead to anxiety/adhd (and thus it could treat anxiety/adhd). Sorry, I thought my wording was poor but lost ability to edit. In my opinion it treats anxiety, fixes it. When your posture is bad you are compressing your chest, this leaves your heart compressed a bit. Your heart has to work harder and faster to pump. This leads to anxiety and similar stress like ailments. By doing all the links, your heart can relax, your muscles relax. >I’ve struggled with posture and seen the Alexander method but never given it a fair try. I’m curious to learn more. Apparently its something you cant do for yourself but I generally find given all the other instructions you can get there.

+1 Alexander Technique. I struggled for years to find something that brought relief to a chronic neck/shoulder issue I'd been having. Turns out one of the exercises from this technique was the key and I've been way more comfortable and capable on the daily since.
