We process information every day from other people’s body language, receiving meaning and messages simply from someone’s physical stance. But what does our own body language communicate to us?
Social psychologist Amy Cuddy believes that by simply changing your body language, you can change your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to transform your life for the better. She discusses the concept of power posing, which involves open confident postures that can increase levels of testosterone and decrease levels of cortisol—leading to greater feelings of confidence and reduced levels of stress. In other words, “fake it until you become it.” And if two minutes of power posing could have a positive effect on our lives and then ripple out to our kiddos, why wouldn’t we give it a try?
