Over the last month I've been incorporating push-u
ps into my daily exercise routine. Although I hadbeen doing them diligently I had noticed I had plateaued. So I thought I would try out this experiment.
I decided I would assume a position of pride, where I stand in a posture of hands in the air or at least adopting a pumped up stance. and then I would really allow myself to feel it, for 2 mins.
Unbelievably I was able to do at least 3 more push-ups than my best had been. Is it mind over matter, maybe, or is it a re-wiring in your brain?
It doesn't really matter why, but it's interesting to see see an improvement by just adopting a new stance for a very short time.
I suggest you watch the TED talk by Amy Cuddy to get the full picture and see how our bodies CAN really change our minds.
Where could you experiment with this body language upgrade in your life?
