Journal Entry #5: Posture Observation
1. Observe your own posture, and that of those around you. (Don’t correct or instruct other, just observe silently.)
2. Make mental notes as you do this.
3. Look at yourself in the mirror. Observe your normal, habitual posture habits: your feet, ankles, hips, spine, shoulders, neck, etc.
4. Write down your observations.
