Answer 1

Several years ago, I had a massage and complained of the same slouching thing.  What he told me was this, and I try to remember it as often as possible, especially while driving.  Think of yourself as a marionette with one string stuck to the top of your head and one on either shoulder - this will make you sit/stand straighter.

Answer 2

Here are a couple tricks:

Pretend the eraser of a pencil is in the middle of your back pushing in.

                                     OR

Pretend there's a hook coming out the top of your head.

You know, they have models learn to walk in high heals with 5 books on their head!  That's gotta be hard!

When I was growing up my Mom was always telling me to stand up straight. Constantly. It drove me nuts!  But it worked. I'm an adult with good posture. So let them tell you!  Say thanks!  Let them keep reminding you.  Laugh with them.  Don't let them get the better of you.

This way it WILL come naturally eventually. Most of them really mean well.

Bless you too, and I wish you the very best of luck.  :)  Lynn
