Obsessed

After having the chance to view myself on Michael's cell phone and in the videos, I have become obsessed with my posture. I always thought that I had good posture, but it seems that over the years I have self-corrected to the point where my good posture has gone bad!!! Resulting in shoulders being held too far back and too much arch in my lower back. So Michael, I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank you for pointing this out to me. However, it has now become an obsession. I can't stop thinking about it! I think about it when I'm driving. I stand in front of the mirror practicing the hand over heart exercise you showed me. I look in store windows at my own reflection to see what my shoulders are doing. And the other day I even found myself practicing the forward lean against the counter at the bank teller's window! What's crazy is how hunched forward I feel when I go into my "newly" corrected posture. But then I look in the mirror or at the window reflection and I am standing perfectly straight. Quite an eye opener. Let's just hope that I don't start over correcting in the opposite direction.
