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.

This reminds of evaluating some mental posturings 1 full month into quarantine.

124~What's interesting about that is how my grad school & wall street behaviors have come back to thrill & haunt me while I adapt to this change Its a weird mixture of thinking like I'm in Grad school and executing like I'm in Wall Street. Reminds me of supermaneuverability

Also mental postures associated with depression with notions of narrowing / contraction. In my experience, low-moods are reorientations of choice architecture Psychedelics/anti-depressants seem to be associated with a notions of divergence / expansion

I've seen my low-phases as a perceived narrowing of options/choice and high-phases as a perceived broadening of options/choice. Last time I went through major life suckery, instead of choosing "grit", I simply quit and brute forced myself out of narrowland.
