It has been shown in studies that literally just standing in a powerful pose can boost your confidence and help you perform better. I learned this from watching this TED talk. Now when I power pose, I add a little twist to it. I like to do it in front of a mirror and recite these lines from Jr. in Cool Runnings. I power pose every time before I give a talk. It gets me pumped up and in the zone. I also ride horses competitively, so I power pose before I ride in a big important class as well. Highly recommend trying it!
Very cool. I like the approach of removing nervousness by stopping and taking the time to focus on what one's body language is saying and changing that to a message of confidence. Good idea on making it fun too. Thanks for sharing!
