Fake Everything
We watched a video of this woman talking about faking emotions until you eventually feel that way. So I'd like to write about something I'd fake, in order to become it. I would fake my confidence. I can either be extremely cocky, or really quiet. If I recall correctly, the lady mentioned something about power posing. She said power posing for tea minutes can be a great confidence booster. A power pose is like standing with your legs shoulder width apart, with your hands on your hips. Or just a pose that you'd associate with confidence. She said that they did an experiment with people doing either a power pose, or a non-power pose. The study showed that people who power posed showed more confidence than someone who didn't. So if I were to fake my confidence, eventually I'd become confident.
I should totally try that. My confidence has been in the negatives for the past few years. May I have the link to the video? I feel like that would be a good video to watch.
