Power Poses
Standing in a power pose for 2 full minutes releases body-to-mind hormonal signals that reduce stress AND increase confidence.
Try the “Super Woman/Super Man” pose (hands on hips with feet apart, head held high) or the crossing-the-finish-line “victory” pose (hands thrown up in the air).
Try it out. Just fake it until you actually become it.
Ready-Set-GO!! If you want to move fast in a new direction today, here's how to "Activate Your Energy". Either CONSTRUCT a +20-second barrier in front of a bad habit you want to stop; or, REMOVE time barriers before a new habit you want to establish.
The time from thought to action must -20 seconds; this gives you the “vital initial spark” to overcome inertia and create good habits.
Take these steps to strong action:
1. Stop. Breathe in and
out deeply to contact intuition (3x).
2. Breathe in memory of all information
you’ve gathered to date.
3. Breathe out fear of making a wrong decision.
4.
Breathe out your decision. Write it down. (Pause.)
5. Now ACT on it! Take one
small immediate step— NOW.

Sit comfortably with your eyes closed. Bring an image of yourself to mind as being relaxed, at ease, and accomplishing your intention. Then, with a closed mouth, touch the tip of your tongue to the roof of your mouth. Count up slowly from one to three.
This “anchor” triggers your mind so it comes to attention and sets your intention so you can move into strong action.
