hmm interesting thought but I’m not sure I buy this entire;y... they’re definitely overlapping but not co-extensive. I’ve held and worked from a great mental posture while slouched physically, and vice versa.https://twitter.com/m_ashcroft/status/1331321206193201152 …

I'm curious, what's your experience of a good mental posture?

it's easier to detect shifts than to characterize them, for example, going from whining/complaining about an unexpected shitty thing I have to deal with to just deciding to deal with it. That one would kinda fit your thesis. Usually physical posture changes follow.

I might frame this as: - in whiny mode, the idea that you might be able to just deal with it is outside your awareness (compressed). You are 'stuck' in whiny mode. - for some reason your awareness expands to include 'just doing it', which then becomes available to you as a choice

"for some reason" is doing too much work in your analysis above :D I'd put the causation in mind-over-matter terms. You're always aware in the abstract of whiny-vs-deal as intellectual options. When you commit or switch, somatic changes *follow*. I think we differ on causation.

In general, I think the causes are a) external feedback signs (something you try works, giving you more confidence) and b) intellectual choices being made. The *consequences* are physical and cognitive postures which have the characteristics you describe.
