Raise your awareness of it.
First and foremost, you need to be aware of how you sit, walk, and stand so that you realize when you need to realign yourself. Start by setting a timer to go off every 30, 60 or 90 minutes and take note to your posture when it does. The goal is to get you to pay more attention to it on your own, which you will soon begin to do because it will become more of a habit.
Do regular stretches.
This is especially important if you have a sedentary job where you are sitting or standing in the same position all day every day. Take 5 minutes every hour or so (maybe after your timer has went off to check your posture) and do some simple stretches to release the tension in your body and prevent your muscles from tightening up and contributing to poor spinal health.
