Strike a power pose

Amy CuddySimply shift your body to a more open, balanced, and supported position to drop your cortisol (the stress hormone) and raise your testosterone (your strength). Watch Amy Cuddy’s TED talk for inspiration! If striking a "Wonder Woman" stance is a tad too obvious for the situation you're in, straighten up instead, open your chest, rest your arms on the chairs next to you, put both feet on the ground … and smile.
