power posing

Power posing refers to adopting expansive, open body postures—such as standing with hands on hips or arms stretched out—that signify confidence and dominance. Research suggests that these poses can temporarily influence hormone levels, increasing feelings of confidence and reducing stress, which may improve performance in social or professional situations. Essentially, occupying a "power pose" can help you feel more assertive and self-assured, both psychologically and physiologically, without altering your underlying abilities. It’s a simple, non-verbal way to boost your presence and mindset before important interactions or decisions.
