Before you start driving, you have to adjust your rearview mirror in such a way that you can easily see the road behind you. Try to sit up straight before making these adjustments so that you’re forced to have good posture while driving in order to see behind you. Be aware that seeing the road at a quick glance is the most important thing, so only make small adjustments when needed.
7. Keep your hands in your back pockets when you’re just standing around.

When standing up, good posture is called “standing tall.” If you’re more used to having your shoulders going inward and the upper back leaning forward, there are some easy exercises to quickly change this habit. For instance, by putting your hands in your back pockets, you force your shoulders to open up and you will stand up straighter immediately.
8. Walk like you’re wearing a cape — and with confidence!

For maintaining good posture while walking, you should focus on elongating your spine. Slouching or leaning forward can put stress on your back muscles, which can start to hurt after a while. One tip is to walk like you’re wearing a cape (or wear a cape for real). This will definitely keep your back straight and your head up high. Another trick is to imagine your head being pulled up by an invisible string that’s attached to the ceiling.
9. Walk while taking calls.
Mobile phones are meant to be used away from your desk or couch, so this can be the perfect opportunity for you to give yourself a quick break from the position you’ve been working in. Make an incoming call your “go moment” to get up and take a quick stroll. Staying active is said to help at maintaining good posture throughout the day.
10. Tuck your chin in — where the head goes, the body follows.
The head’s position says a lot about the general posture of your body. You should be continually working to align your body under your head. This might sound complicated, but an easy trick is to keep your chin tucked in and your head pulled back. It’s kind of like imagining a string pulling the top of your head toward the sky so your entire body and neck stay nice and lengthened.
