Are Your Thoughts Making You Look Old? Here’s How To Fix It
Though every generation before us has tried, none of us are immune to aging. It’s part of life here on planet earth, and – as the saying goes – it’s better than the alternative. That said, we all want to age gracefully. One of the keys to doing so lies in having a healthy and positive mindset, along with body language to match.
Before we go any further – freeze right where you are. Notice your posture and the expression on your face. Are you clenching your jaw or squinting your eyes? Does your face feel strained? In other words, do you really have RBF if you’re not actually resting those muscles? What about your shoulders – are they rounded forward over your phone or desk, or scrunched up by your ears? Notice your hips and lower back – how does everything seem to be aligned? Bringing awareness to your chronic holding patterns is key to preventing the signs of aging associated with tense muscles. Check in with your expressions and posture throughout the day and notice what you might be saying to the world through your body language.
