Senshi looks like a fly stuck in a glue trap... (I love him)

So, as mentioned in my last post, I'll be writing a bit about her body language and what to avoid when sitting, walking or standing to seem more approachable :-)

I think that looking at our phones and sitting down to do desk jobs or study has kinda ruined our posture over the decades. When I try to sit up now it feels SOOOO uncomfy and I feel like I look stupid most of the time (feels like I'm arching my back too hard like I'm trying to get noticed). Marilyn kept her posture upright, her shoulders back and her chin high up. It wasn't only good for her body, letting her breathe properly and letting her digestive system do its work (yes, posture makes a BIG difference in health) but it ALSO made her appear confident. Even when she was sitting, her back was always straight. Crossing your legs can feel comfy at times and it's fine to do as long as you're not guarding your whole body or the visible parts:

Crossing legs + open arms: inviting (if the legs are not visible)

Uncrossed legs + crossed arms (feels kinda weird idk if anyone would do that): defensive

Crossed arms + crossed legs: Defensive OR upset

That being said, posture also changes how you walk: it makes walking feel less tiring, it makes your steps more powerful. Ofc u can develop your own style of walking, Marilyns being swift and feminine, but proper posture is ALWAYS your first start. It's a small price to pay for the benefits (pinkie promise the discomfort of the first few days will pass).

We had walking, sitting and now we have standing. 100% of the time AVOID STANDING STILL. It just makes you look extremely static and tense. Put some personality into it, tapping your foot, putting ur hand on ur hip or something. Just don't look like a mannequin.

Theres SOOO much more but I'm kinda burnt out on body language rn soo sorryyy (◞‸◟,)
