chemical balance – the testosterone and cortisol levels in the brain – alters, your body starts to feel it and your brain starts to believe it.
So, by being aware of and focusing on just one or two aspects of your body language, you can directly influence the message your brain will receive.
You don't have to learn a new repertoire of poses, gestures and expressions that feel unnatural or uncomfortable. If you can alter just one or two things consistently, the rest of your body and mind will catch up and you will feel more confident and come across as more confident and capable.
‘Our bodies change our minds, and our minds can change our behaviour, and our behaviour can change our outcomes.’ – Amy Cuddy
If you want to feel calmer, more confident and in the moment – not just appear confident but genuinely feel confident – simply choose to do just two or three of these actions:
• Stand or sit straight.
• Keep your head level.
• Relax your shoulders.
• Spread your weight evenly on both legs.
• If sitting, keep your elbows on the arms of your chair (rather than tightly against your sides).
• Make appropriate eye contact.
• Lower the pitch of your voice.
• Speak more slowly.
You can't control all your non-verbal communication. In fact, the harder you try, the more unnatural you are likely to feel. But if you can keep your mind on doing one or two of those things consistently, your thoughts, feelings and behaviour can match up. Which one or two actions would you feel comfortable using? Practise using them right now!
