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.
