You notice when you have bad vs good posture physically (eg straight back vs slouching).
What are your personal signs that you’re adopting bad vs good posture mentally? As evident in speech patterns/tics etc?

I would have thought that poor mental posturing has more to do about how you process new information.
"Thinking on your toes" - that sort of stuff..
Poor Postures are brooding/wallowing/overreacting.

Poor physical posture and poor mental posture are actually caused by the same thing, which is a kind of 'checking out'
- like when you come back to yourself and ask "where was I just now?"
So signs might general pattern of tension or 'holding' (doing).

1/ Your sense of self and how you hold yourself physically are the same thing. They change with each other.
If you're like most people, you're holding in your belly right now. What happens if you let go? How are you different, now?
Let's play with this. (thread)

In both cases you'll also notice a 'collapse' in your spatial awareness, i.e. you will not be able to notice things outside your awareness.
Your awareness in bad posture bode will be compressed around an object, e.g. physical object or thought.

1/ Your awareness has a shape and size.
These are malleable and, for most people, totally unconscious.
But they can be brought under your conscious control – that's one of the games behind Alexander Technique.
