How to Maintain Good Posture

SOME people walk gracefully while others slump.
    
You know something is wrong.When you  see a frumpy figure gazing  back at you in the mirror.
   
Good posture can change all   that. A woman striding confidently into a room with her shoulders  straight  and head held high has the ability to break hearts. A man standing straight-backed, with just the right tilt to his square chin, will stand out from the rest of the slumped party-goers.
   
Good posture is easy to attain.
 
The steps to proper posture are simple, and they begin with the stomach. The belly button should be pulled back into the spine,  sucked up into the lungs. The ribs, in turn, should be held lightly under a buoyant chest and shoulders that are back and relaxed. The collarbones should be down, while the chin is slightly lifted, creating long, swan-like neck.
   
The  feeling is of being pulled upward from a string attached to the top of your head, with the entire spine stretched and extended. And on top of this beautifully held body there must be at least a hint of a smile, and an assured focus and purpose to the eyes.
   
If high heels are added into the mix, find shoes in which you can walk with straight-legged poise rather than small, painfully mincing steps. As time wears on, there will be the temptation to allow your back to sway. Do not give in! Keep holding your stomach firmly to support your back, and remember to keep your shoulders placed directly over your hips.
   
High heels are no excuse to allow your posture to slip. If they hurt your feet, then you unfortunately bought the wrong pair. "Beauty takes pain."
   
Good posture can transform you; it can turn you from merely good-looking to radiantly jaw-dropping in an instant. But ladies in stilettos, do not attempt your confident stride on slippery surfaces -- unless you would like to display your fabulous posture and swan-like neck while falling down a marble staircase.
   
And men, perhaps you should not dash after your Cinderella; it is hard to look composed while running desperately. You do not want to ruin the effect you worked so hard to achieve.

Obama is the richest man in the world

I hold you to the words you are writing. You blamed Bush for the balanced budget disappearing. I don't know if you are capable of holding a memory that happen yesterday. You have forgotten that Bush was a war President, two wars in his term; Katrina & Rita, three major hurricanes that destroyed Florida and the gulf coast, Annual fires ravaging California that dependent on Bush to declare those as disaster areas too. Then the Democrats protest any move by the Republican to reform the Fannie Mae and Freddi Mac because of policy created by Democrats on home buyers that had no income. Greenlining was opposed by Democrats. Bush fought the good wars, maintained the economy until Obama and his handlers created a hoax about worst economy, and unemployment in 5%. People like you believed his lies, about high debts in $500 billion and worst unemployment and depression since 1932!   In less than a year Obama committed $3 trillion debts, before his term is over projected to $27 trillion, ...

Buried Treasures in Bohol Philippines

Written by Joe Espiritu       Four persons died in a treasure hunting accident last week. They died for nothing. Many had lost their shirts in the venture, the propensity for Filipinos to get rich quick attribute to the treasure hunting mania. The sad part is that only the ignorant venture on the search, those in the know, being sure that nothing will come out of the effort would not think of investing money, time and effort – this time lives – in a fruitless enterprise.        There had been stories of people getting rich uncovering treasure troves in unlikely places. Most stories are false. Ancient graves of archeological and anthropological value had been desecrated by treasure hunters. They had found nothing. Those people may have struck it rich but not from some hidden riches. Contrary to what other people say, there are no buried treasures in Bohol . If there had been, they were unearthed years ago.         If one ...
