Recently I watched an episode of TED titled ” Your Body Language Shapes Who You Are” which is given by a psychologist Ammy Cuddy. At the beginning I simply thought it was a lecture related to success science, it turned out
very touching. She told her own story to show that we can be more powerful and more confident by doing the power pose, and the phenomenon is not just for temporary, we not only can fake it till we make it, but also can fake it till we become it. So don’t be discouraged when you have a feeling like “I’m not suppose to be here”. Everyone has been through this. Maybe what you should do is just holding the pose like Wonder Woman, and fake it till you become it.

Recently I watched an episode of TED titled ” Your Body Language Shapes Who You Are” by UCLA / NASA / Harvard  psychologist Ammy Cuddy. At first I thought it was going to be another cliche, how-to-be-successful piece, but it turned out to be quite the opposite. Cuddy uses her own example / gives herself as an example to show that we can be more powerful and more confident by adopting the power pose. The power pose can yield not only short-term, fake-it-till-you-make-it benefits, but can help us fake it till we actually become it. So don’t be discouraged when you have a feeling like “I’m not supposed to be here”. Everyone has been through this. Maybe what you should do is just hold the Wonder Woman pose long enough, and you might just be able to fake it till you become it.
