You’ve heard about power posing, right?
Using your body language to generate confidence, calm, or sharpness in your brain? ⠀
The Wonder Woman pose is the one you hear about most. ⠀
⠀
I’m sure it’s great before speaking on stage. Or walking into a negotiation. (Because a quivering lip does not back up “It’s my way or the highway.”)
⠀
But what’s the best power pose for work? For gettin’ sh*t done?
Wonder Woman, meet Sofa Woman.
For me — and I’m dead serious about this — I’m at my most productive and creative when I’m sitting feet-up on the sofa. (With a beverage in arm’s reach. )
Maybe because that posture signals “not really working” to my brain. My neurons think I’m watching Real Housewives. Which, in turn, triggers a response known by scientists as the “I want to” feeling.⠀
⠀
And that’s when I get the work done.⠀
I am…SOFA WOMAN.
Don’t you love science?⠀
Now you.
What’s your favorite Power Pose for working?
What do you do to generate the “I want to” feeling?
For real, have you tried that Power Posing stuff?
