Adopting a power pose helps reduce stress hormones
So they had people do a power pose and then retested their stress hormones and turns out the stress hormone levels had dropped :)
So maybe the next time you are anxious instead of closing up, crossing arms, try opening up your body more.
You can google power pose for more ideas, but basically you just need to open up your body more, physically taking up more space.
I've not had the chance to try it yet, but it is something I've never heard of until recently so almost looking forward to trying it out ;)

Yeah it sounds like it could work if you're standing tall and your head held high :) :)
Re: Adopting a power pose helps reduce stress hormones
I agree, if you walk around with you head down, slouched over, then you'll feel rubbish...walk tall, smile on face, you can't feel down when your smiling

What power hose to clean up after pup or power pose.
You are just trying to confuse a very confused bear by not being precise. :whistles:
