Sit Up!

Just as it is important to stand properly, it is equally important to sit in a way that exudes self-confidence. The
way you sit in a chair speaks volumes about you, whether you realize it or not. Here are the steps you should
follow to make sure this happens.

1. Stand directly in front of your chair.
2. Let your calves touch the seat of the chair.
3. Bend over, placing your buttocks all the way back in the chair.
4. Sit and lean your back against the back of the chair. By placing your buttocks all the way back in the chair first, your spine will straighten out automatically as it rests against the back of the chair. Doing this also prevents you from slouching.
5. Roll your shoulders back and relax your arms, either resting them on the arms of the chair or placing your hands in your lap.
6. Keep your head up. Visualize a string holding up the crown of your head, just as you did while you were standing. Once again, this keeps your eyes focused at the eye level of the person opposite you.
7. If you feel yourself retreating to your old slouching ways, just remember to push your buttocks all the way

back in the chair. Lean against the back of the chair and remember to keep the crown of your head
