If you can take a shower, you can do this.
One easy change to your shower routine can completely change your day!
Let me explain why…
Just turn around...
I typically face the showerhead when I’m showering, leaving my head tilting downward due to the water coming out, not getting it in my eyes. This leaves me with my head hanging low for for 5-15 minutes, every day, at the start of my day.
Turning around to face the opposite way allows you to actually tilt your head up instead of down while you’re showering.
That's it? Really?
Yes!
A professor and researcher at Harvard studied how our body language affects us. They coined the term “power posing” to study how a certain body posture might actually help increase confidence.
What's the 'Power Pose'?
This pose consists of standing tall with the arms raised into a V-Shape above the head with a slight turn up of the chin and eyes looking up to the sky.
It has been determined that this is the universal body posture of victory.
Why does it work?
“Our bodies change our mind, and our minds can change our behavior, and our behavior can change our outcomes.” This concept can be very valuable in the workplace from the perspective of outcome-based performance.
5-15 minutes showering in a similar pose can seriously increase confidence and help you with decision-making, better physical performance and a positive outlook.
Try it for yourself - it's free, easy to implement and something you already do!
It’s a simple change that you can use daily, requires zero effort and can change your life for the better.
Conclusion:
•Changing the direction you in the shower can have a positive effect on your day.
• Tilting your head up instead of down while showering allows a similar feeling to “power posing”, which is a universal body posture of victory and has been shown to increase confidence.
• A Harvard professor and researcher coined this term to study how body language affects us, proving that it leads to better decision-making, physical performance and mental outlooks.
• Showering 5-15 minutes in such pose requires no effort but can lead to life changing results.
