As an executive mum balancing a high-stress job and family life, dealing with constant neck, back, and nerve pain can feel overwhelming. Add to that the fatigue and drained energy levels, and you may find it hard to keep up with your busy schedule. In this blog lets discuss how posture affects your spinal pain and fatigue levels.
Executive mothers often find themselves adopting poor posture habits whether it's protruding the head forwards to look at a computer screen during work hours or carrying a heavy diaper bag on one shoulder. This habitual slouching and improper alignment of the spine can strain and overwork of the muscles and ligaments in the spine, leading to neck and back pain.
Furthermore, the stiffness and muscle spasm can lead to muscle fatigue due to restricted blood flow and oxygen supply. This can even lead to brain fog that interferes with your productivity level and ability to cope up with everyday challenges at work and home. In addition to this, standing tall isn't just a physical benefit—it also positively affects your mindset. A better posture can boost your confidence and mood, helping you show up as your best self, whether in the office or at home with your kids.
The key to avoiding spinal pain and fatigue/low energy levels is to adopt a good posture in the daytime, whether sitting or standing and at night, while sleeping. It takes consistent effort to change habits and switch over to a good posture but it is not an impossible task. Watch this video on 'How Can You Improve Your Posture When Sitting?'
