Amy Cuddy: Your body language shapes who you are

(http://www.ted.com/talks/amy_cuddy_your_body_language_shapes_who_you_are)

To sum up this video this sentence is perfect “Our bodies change our minds and our minds change our behavior and our behavior changes our outcomes”.

Body language affects how others see us, but it also changes how we see ourselves. Social psychologist Amy Cuddy shows how “power posing” – standing in a posture of confidence, even when we don’t feel confident – can affect testosterone and cortisol levels in the brain, and might even have an impact on our chances for success.

Scientists say that our behavior changes until our thirties. Well in the 30s, 40s, and 50s, we can and do still change, but these changes come more slowly, and require more effort, said Paul T. Costa Jr., scientist emeritus at the laboratory of behavioral science at the National Institutes of Health (http://nymag.com/scienceofus/2014/11/how-much-can-you-really-change-after-30.html ). Why am I telling you this? Because perhaps our behavior doesn’t change anymore or just a little bit after our thirties but as Amy Cuddy says we should believe in or self to have better results. How? Like she said with power posing there’re reactions in your brain. Many things change during a short instant. And the beauty of this speech is that she tries to convince us that doing it often and not only a few times, it will not be only different during an instant, you will find results in the future.

Look at life in pink and it will present itself in pink. I mean if you act with confidence you will obtain everything you want to undertake. It makes me think in the Kaizen’s method that says even the longest path begins with a step, and there’s nothing bad in to be a short one. So think that the way you are standing right now could change your future.
