The concept of relaxing and standing upright I had long been mistaking

It took more than 20 year to understand what is relaxing like and how to relax.

When I stood upright, walk, and played sports, some parts of my body, muscles and joints became tense.
It was what I misunderstood of how to do my best when I was in elementary school.
Few people acknowledged my effort. I always become tired in the first five minutes.
When I was in high school, I participated in the badminton club.
My performance was so-so, and I wanted to improve my performance.
The leader of the club suggested me to "relax" to make best use of my potential ability.
I understood halfway. I reduced power when I swung my racket. My performance become neither better or worse, but I felt less tired.

It was more than ten years later before I understand how to relax while standing upright.
Before then I thought that it takes a lot of tension in my legs and my back to stand upright.
Even worse, what I thought that I stand up upright was really not. When I thought I was standing up straight with tension in my joints and muscles, and I looked at a mirror or the video checking my posture, I was bent with my heads and legs far backward.

When I was 25 years old, I checked tensions of every parts of my body related, and then checked my body, and found an appropriate set of tensions in every part of my body. Before long, I noticed that it doesn't really take much tension in every part of my body to stand upright.

This is what I stand upright in a relaxed way about.

Although I have learned how to relax while standing upright, I think I sometimes need the relaxation I intuitively think of. Really get rid of tension from my body. I can hardly stand up. I feel I also need this kind of relaxation which is not allowed in public. In this respect, I'm really grateful that I can sit and relax on weekends.
