article: The first step to improving your posture is simply knowing what to look for in yourself. Make sure your shoulders are back, your stomach is in, and your chest is out. Stand sideways in a mirror and see if you can draw a straight line from your earlobe down through your shoulder, hip, knee, and ending at the middle of your ankle. Head and neck: Make sure that your head extends straight up from your shoulders. Many people tend to lean their head forward. If your ears line up with the front of your chest, you need to pull your head back. Shoulders, arms, and hands: Your arms and hands should fall on the side of your body. If so, your shoulders are exhibiting good posture. If your arms fall towards the front of your chest, then pull your shoulders back. Hips: Find a happy middle position between rolling your hips far forward or backward. The most obvious sign of bad posture is back, shoulder, and neck pain. Poor posture causes your chest muscles to tighten, which forces your upper back muscles to compensate. This results in weaker back muscles in general, which produces pain and discomfort. Since all of your muscles work together, when one muscle set isn't functioning properly, the others are affected. Not all people with poor posture feel pain or discomfort. Our bodies are fairly capable of adjusting and compensating. This is when the arch of your foot is almost completely flat. It is also often called a "fallen arch". Our feet are the lowest balancing mechanism of our bodies. If you have poor posture, you are forcing your feet to work harder to maintain balance. This causes your feet to gradually "flatten" so as to provide a sturdier foundation. If you improve your posture, your weight should rest nearly entirely on top of your heels, freeing up the remainder of your foot to have an arch. While "fallen arches" are themselves a sign of poor posture, you may also experience pain in your feet, ankle, calf, knee, hip, and lower leg area in general. A study conducted at San Francisco State University asked students to walk down a hall in a slouched position or to stand upright and skip. The slouchers reported increased feelings of depression and general lethargy. While this may seem strange, think about it. Your body language often indicates your mood in general.You sit crouched in a corner with your arms crossed when you are angry or sad. You perk up when you are happy. So why can't your moods tell you something about your body posture? If you've been down in the dumps, consider improving your posture.

article: Acrylic paints adhere better to plastics than most types, so avoid vinyl, lacquer, enamel, or chalkboard spray paints. If available, plastic fusion spray paint is also ideal for adhering to smooth surfaces. Start with one standard can of spray paint and purchase additional cans as needed. Make a note of where you purchased your first can so you know where to find the right color. Your base coat should go on lightly so it sticks well to the primer. Aim your paint can perpendicular to the area you're spraying at about 1012 inches (2530cm) away from the surface. Spray the paint in horizontal sweeps, releasing the tip once you've reached the other side. Slight overlap is okay, but try to apply only one layer at a time. Spray in short spurts instead of a constant stream for a more focused coat. In most cases, you will need to apply at least two to three coats. Each coat should be distinct and applied separately. Consult your spray can's instructions for drying times, and wait until that much time has passed to start on a second coat. Usually, between twenty to thirty minutes is sufficient. Each coat will make your cart's color look richer and more opaque. Continue applying coats until you reach the desired color. Plan out enough time to apply at least three coats of paint, though you may need more to make the color you want.

There is a direct correlation between mental and physical health, and one will suffer if you neglect the other. Make sure you prioritize your body so that your brain is well equipped to handle stress and difficult or bad thoughts. Exercise 3-5 times a week for at least 30 minutes. Eat a balanced diet and avoid junk foods. Hydrate with 6-8 full glasses of water each day. Get 6-8 hours of regular sleep each night. Shown time and time again to promote positive thinking and mental health, meditation is the process of clearing your mind and coming to peace with your thoughts. Find 10-15 minutes a day to sit quietly with your thoughts. Focus on your breathing and let your thoughts drift freely. As you progress you'll find yourself taking more and more time to meditate, and your bad thoughts will start to slowly fade into the background. Most people feel bad thoughts creeping in when they imagine their future, creating stress and insecurity. Write down your goals, then break them up into small, manageable tasks you can tackle easily. Celebrate when you hit milestones, and always you're your end goal in sight when things get tough. For example, you might be worried about thoughts that you will never finish the novel you dream of writing. Instead of worrying, set aside 30 minutes a day to write. As you get more comfortable, make it 1 hour, then 2 hours until you have a few chapters to start editing. If you find that you can't stick to the amount of time that you set, don't get down on yourself. Simply adjust the timetable to make it work for you. Laughing away accidents and misfortune is one of the best ways to stay sharp and sane. Humor will "re-set" negative events in a positive manner, ending the stress and worry. Laughter will give you much needed perspective on your thoughts and make it easier to keep bad thoughts at bay. Laugh at yourself too you shouldn't take your life so seriously that you forget to enjoy it. Laughter is contagious, so join people who laugh a lot or tell jokes. If you gravitate towards people who like to laugh, you'll find yourself laughing more as well. Just knowing that there is someone who you can be open and honest with can make bad thoughts seem much less daunting. Building trust with someone takes time, and you'll need to be a little vulnerable sharing your concerns with another person, but having this bond will ultimately help you realize that you are not alone. You can deal with your bad thoughts when they appear, and there will be someone to help you. If you feel like you can't share your thoughts with someone for whatever reason, consider making an appointment with a professional therapist. They are trained to listen well and help you work through your problems.
