Stability is the result of oppositional relationships, not standing up straight.
Having good balance in your daily life isn\’t like balancing a ruler on your finger or walking a tightrope. Stability is achieved partly through dynamic oppositional relationships within the body, especially between the head and neck. The head goes forward and up in opposition to the torso going back and up. I know, this is a difficult one. Visit the resources below for further information.

Hi Leland
Thanks again for your great tips.
Would applying inhibition and direction to this situation sound like: “I’m not standing straight.My head is going forward and up, my torso goes back and up”.
