The Fourth Magic Mind Switch - "Sit Up Straight and Change Your Clothes"
If you want to feel healthier, stronger, and more sure of yourself, adjust your posture and spruce up your appearance.
How are you sitting write now? Are you sitting up straight, feeling confident, ready to devour knowledge? Or are you slumped back into a chair, unmotivated, relaxed to the point of being almost asleep?
However you're sitting right now, go and change your posture to the exact opposite. Take a mental note of how your posture makes you feel. Slumpy sleepy posture makes you think and feel one way where as sitting up straight with shoulders back and eyes ahead gives you a completely different feeling and energy. You can instantly change the way you feel by changing your posture.
Your appearance has a similar affect. When you shower, shave and put on nice clothes you feel one way. If you are not shaven, not showered and dressed in your grubbies you feel a different way.
Change your appearance and change the way you feel. You may be surprised just how much difference it makes to your attitude to assume a positive energetic posture and to keep your appearance at it's best.
Turn on this switch by doing the following. For the next seven days, dress and prepare yourself to present your best appearance, keep your posture positive and energetic. Sit up straight, stand tall, walk briskly, speak confidently. Whenever you catch yourself in a less than desirable posture quickly change into something more positive.
I believe it was Shakespeare who said, "Assume the virtue if you have it not". Think of the most desirable, confident, positive, energetic person you can and assume their posture and mannerisms. Act as though you are the person you want to be. Let your posture say "I am positive, healthy, confident and energetic".
Take note of how this powerful switch makes you feel and enjoy the improved thinking and feeling that comes with it.
