Kaspian,
I guess the reason is that I have been trying to get to #3 for YEARS without the degree of success that I would like. I can do it when I am thinking about it, but my posture always reverts when I am not making an effort. Also when I am tired it seems like too much trouble to make the effort. By adopting posture #2 I am training my body to exercise another option when I am tired. Usually posture #2 is so tiring for me that I revert to #3 after a while.
Before trying this experiment, I didn't realize how strongly my thought patterns are tied to my posture. There are certain negative thought patterns that are almost inaccessable to me in posture #2. Also, it combats my habitual triggers to slouch around people, as if I will be invisible if I just keep my head down.
This experiment is still going REALLY WELL and I feel I am making great progress, not only in posture, but in opening up some new ways of thinking that are apparently tied to body positioning.
