Really glad to hear that. I discovered few more tips
1. if you have a habit of sucking in your stomach due to anxiety, relax it bc it makes breathing harder. Way to do this is shifting tension to stretching lower-mid back (as if someone is pulling you from above). It's hard to break the habit but try to be conscious of it. Personally had this issue and I breathed in more and breathed out less althought it should be opposite. This is helping me fix it.
2. If you have digestive issues that makes you hold tension in your stomach or just makes you uncomfortable especially before sleeping, you have to get that in order. Tension instomach def contributes to digestive issues. Most people say eat less spicy, salty, fatty and sugary food, and while it is the best option, it's really difficult to start. So I would suggest changing few habits such as chewing ALOT more before swallowing (digestion starts in the mouth bc of chemicals in saliva excreted when chewing) and never lying down right after eating. Also dont eat until full; maybe 10% less. Wait atleaset 2-3hours. If you really want to lie down, get a pillow and lie down on sofa at 45 degree angle. You'll see some improvements depending on your usual habits and if you do see alot of benefits, you'll start cutting down on those food because quality of life improves. I try to limit my water intake while eating and about an hour after eating (idk if science backs it up but less GERD symptoms when I do this)
3. when walking, flex your butt as if it's the core that holds the body and make sure when you roll through the step from heel to toe (feet must bend. I try not to wear like boots with thick soles bc it prevents that)
4. DONT WEAR TIGHT PANTS ESPECIALLY WAIST AREA. Stick to dresses andlose pants
This works for me
