This takes a level of self-awareness and presence¹.

 

As I took dance classes throughout my childhood, I frequently heard the teacher announce, "Heads up and shoulders back! Stand up straight and tall!"

 

Give it a shot. Walk and move with purpose. Itmakes a world of difference rather than walking slouched with our heads down,which makes us feel low and sends out a negative impression to the people around you.

 

Watch for folded arms and slouched posture², and for fidgeting with your hands. Smile and make eye contact.
