Feel Sexy. Power Pose in the Nude.
Wonder Woman Knows How to Pose
I recently
watched a TED talk on body language, specifically power posing, and the effect
it can have on the body. Amy Cuddy gave
the talk and you can watch it here.
Her final
point turned out to be that just like our mood and mindset can determine our
body language, the opposite is also true.
Our conscious body language will have a profound effect on our state of
mind and self-image. Smiling when we are
sad will put us in a better mood.
Standing tall and proud when we feel insecure will give our self-esteem
a boost.
I would like
to take it one step further and recommend power posing in the nude. Yes, you read that right: practice standing
tall and proud in your birthday suit.

A Visit to Eden Will Teach You How to Grow Your Own Food for Free
Paul Gautschi works in his garden
There is a garden nestled among the trees of Sequim, WA,
that has gained worldwide attention through an internet documentary called Back
to Eden. The documentary stars a
humble, but revolutionary, gardener named Paul Gautschi and his home
garden.
Paul will grab your attention when he tells you his
gardening methods, which are contrary to traditional techniques. For example, he hasn’t watered his garden in
34 years. He doesn’t rotate his
crops. Pests and weeds don’t seem to be
a problem for him. He doesn’t ever till
his soil. His only gardening tools are a
rake, a shovel and a wheelbarrow.
And yet, the food he grows is juicier and sweeter than
anything I’ve ever tasted, and is more nutritious than anything you’ll find in
the organic section of the grocery store.
Best of all, his methods are completely free.
So how does he do it?
I visited his garden a couple of months ago to see for myself.
