Body language affects how others see us, and it may also change how we see ourselves.  Body language can be very revealing. We can change other people’s perceptions—even our own body chemistry—simply by changing body positions.

Research shows that the way we act, think and talk, whether positive or negative, has an effect on our hormones. Our hormones control our mood and maybe even our risk tolerance. The old expression “it’s not what you say, but how you say it” is so true.

“Power Posing”—standing in a posture of confidence—can affect testosterone and cortisol levels in the brain and might even have an impact on our chances for success. The importance of always having a confident, positive attitude is very important. Be positive and positive things will happen to you.
