my resolution

My new years resolution: better posture.

Posture is something most people dont think about but as a dancer i have to think about all the time, and i know my posture is pretty bad when im at home, so i know i should fix it. Isnt it considered a proper lolita thing to sit up straight and hold your head high and proud?

Somethings you maybe didn't know posture could do: stop your back from hurting and avoid back problems when your older, make you stronger, and even make you look thinner!

It actually takes a lot of effort to stand up straight, you need to use your abs and back in unison and some strength, but i garentee your back will thank you and so will the mirror! Because you are standing straighter and not hunched over your stomach will look flatter, or if you arch too much, it won't look like you have such a big bum anymore, and bam! it looks like you just lost 5 pounds.

The best way to work on this is on the floor making sure your head shoulders and bum all touch the floor but there is a small space st your lower back. when that gets comfortable try it standing, then moving around. And forget all the nonsense about being able to balance books on your head and walk around.

So perhaps if your debating loosing 5 pounds in the new year try standing up straight and see the results!
