When usual tricks don't work, I enjoy encouraging my students to "over-do" whatever their "bad" habit is, to feel how it's restricting, and then go the other way and ask them to make the corrections I'm recommending. Usually only takes one week of work & practice after that!

I completely agree with your post. This time 2 years ago, we were in 95 degree weather setting up a fence in our backyard. Go figure.

I love your use of language. =)

Most of the problem is working with students who don't follow my instructions. It would help if they would practice... ;)
