The Body Shapes the Mind: Stand Up Straight - Deepstash

The Body Shapes the Mind: Stand Up Straight

  • The way you carry yourself is a source of personal power. The kind of power that is the key to presence.
  • Expanding your body expands your mind and allows you to be present.
  • We pose in a powerless way much more often than we think.
  • High power poses are expansive and open.
  • Low power poses are constricted and clenched.
  • In tests performed, adopting power poses increased testosterone and decreased cortisol.
