In our first lesson in our Confidence Course which can be found by joining our Mental Mechanics Membership, we talk about body language, focus, and self-talk and how they can increase your confidence. This is a quick read to give you a little glimpse into the world of ultimate confidence.
Body Language’s Impact: Your Silent Confidence Booster
Let’s start with body language. Imagine gaining an edge by simply adjusting your body language. Over 90% of communication is nonverbal. Body language speaks volumes about confidence. Amy Cuddy, a Harvard professor, shares insights on nonverbal expressions of power in her Ted Talk. She notes, by adopting expansive, confident poses, you release hormones that make you bigger, faster, and stronger, or more focused and resilient. You can also minimize the release of cortisol, which is commonly referred to as a stress hormone. So, strike that high-power pose and transform your game!
The Science Behind Transformation
Amy Cuddy's experiments reveal astounding results. High-power poses boost risk tolerance, encouraging you to take game-changing risks like laying out for a ball in the gap if you’re a baseball player. Your posture even influences testosterone and cortisol levels, affecting your focus and in-game stress. With body language mastery, you become a force to be reckoned with – on the field and in life. So, catch yourself in low-power pose positions, fix your posture, and get your head back in the game.
