lyrics

Can you adjust your body's position to express your mood?

Everyday you are working, in public, with your body.

Your movements and positions speak volumes, both to those around you, and to your own mind.

Studies have shown that deliberately assuming a posture of confidence directly affects the confidence of one's decision making. Even if you are not acknowledging these thoughts, subconscious motivation from your body will increase your ability to act on your instincts. Less wading around, less trying to evaluate the situation. Being present, right now.

Think about the way you've arranged yourself. Identify an adjective that describes your shape.

Is there someone looking at you now? Relax and try to identify what one might assume of you. Could you call your position neutral? Adjust your weight, the balance of your shoulders. Neutralize your physical speech.

Close your eyes, let your neck fall forward with your face directly above your knees. Shake your head yes and no. Can you feel the eyes of others in your space, interpreting your body's silent speech?

Slouch your shoulders forward. Where are your arms, are they guarding you? Are they reached out to welcome someone, or perhaps falling to the floor. Think of what adjectives could describe the shapes you are taking now.

Sit up straight.

Push out your chest.

Slouch forward.

Let your face gaze towards your knees.
