We all use our phones for hours every day - scrolling, texting, or watching videos. But did you know that the way you sit while using your phone can affect your mood?

Poor posture can cause anxiety
When you hunch over your phone or keep your head bent for too long, your body starts to feel tense. According to chiropractor Dr. Suzi Schulman, slouching can actually increase feelings of sadness and stress. It limits your breathing, slows blood flow, and signals your brain that something is wrong - making you feel low or anxious.

Good posture can lift your mood
Sitting straight or keeping your phone at eye level helps you breathe better, improves blood flow, and boosts confidence. You instantly feel more focused and positive.

Simple habits to follow

• Sit straight and avoid bending your neck too much

• Take short breaks while using your phone

• Stretch your shoulders and back regularly

A straight spine means a calm mind. Fix your posture, and you might fix your mood too.
