Is your body feeling positive?

A handy little something I picked up from Anthony Robbins...

Putting your body in an upright and positive posture affects your mind and your mood. Here's how it works.

At any given time, our physiology dictates our psychology. Think about the ways in which your body conveys a bad/sad mood: your feet drag, your head hangs, your shoulders hunch forward, and your breathing becomes shallower.

On the other hand, raising your shoulders and head, focusing on expanding your diaphragm so you can breathe more deeply, looking ahead or up rather than down—you can shrug off stress, and lift your mood.

Our body really does mirror our thoughts and vice versa, this is a great way to remember to keep ourselves in a positive frame and stop the rot of negative thinking setting in and affecting our health as well as our moods.
