Lift Up Your Head
Nonverbal communication is the act of conveying information without the use of words. It represents about 75 to 80% of meanings conveyed in a communication
How we carry ourselves reflects our feelings. When we’re sad, we tend to look down and frown, when anxious we might tap our feet or shift our eyes and when happy we may smile
A downcast look is nonverbally communicating shame, disgrace, guilt, insecurity and low self-esteem
As your feelings affect your posture, so your posture affects your feelings This is called Embodied Cognition.
Embodied Cognition is a form of communication between your mind and body and works both to send signals form the body to the brain, and signals from the brain to the body. In simpler terms, how your body is positioned can directly impact your mood and vice versa.
So how we position our bodies can also change how we feel. That is, if you act confident, even when you’re not, you may begin to feel confident
