“Psychological research suggests simple actions can project power, persuade others, increase empathy, boost cognitive performance and more.”
From Wake Up World Blog, some insight into the world of body language. And these will not be what you think… or what you expect.http://wakeup-world.com/2011/08/05/10-simple-postures-that-boost-personal-performance/
“Many of these studies support a theory about human life (and indeed all life) called ‘embodied cognition’. The idea is that we don’t just think with our minds, we also think with our bodies. Our mind isn’t a brain in a jar, it is connected to a body which moves around in an environment.
As life becomes increasingly virtual, played out on screens of varying sizes, we need reminding that the connection between mind and body is two-way. Human intelligence is more than abstract processing power; it’s about the interaction between mind, body and the world around us.”
