There are three simple rules that influence the quality of life, both health-wise and psychologically. These rules relate to physiology and posture, life goals and lifestyle. 

Life can be much simpler than we usually make it. Instead of enjoying our lives, we get emotionally bogged down with bad experiences, worries about the future, other people's opinions of us, striving for perfectionism and pointlessly trying to control circumstances that are beyond our control.

In doing so, we completely forget what is really important in life, namely life satisfaction.

Body and mind are one unit, they belong together. If you tense up physically, you also get tense thoughts. If you let your posture sink in, you become dissatisfied and insecure.

Tension in body and mind is the worst enemy you can make in life.

The cornerstone to a happier life is creating harmony between body and mind and bringing both into a relaxed and calm state. Anything beyond that is a bonus that should be savoured and cherished.

A relaxed posture allows for efficient blood flow to the brain and thus ensures clear thought processes, a more positive mental influence and leaves less room for fears and worries.
