Balancing my Posture

As I think about Balance, posture is an inevitable subject.  I have terrible posture.  I hunch over everything, and I HATE that habit!  And when I try to correct my posture, my lower back starts to hurt (can you say weak?!).  I just stumbled upon this most excellent advise for those of us poised before our desktops all day:

Pretend there's GUM stuck to your butt!

I love it!  Sitting here now ~ mindfully pretending ~ I am sitting straight with much less effort than usual.  Try it!

*Right now, I'm thinking silly things like:  I wonder what brand of gum would hold best?  Which refreshing smell would last longer?  Which gum would you choose to be stuck on?  : )
