Physiology Drives Psychology

Stand tall, take up space, and make eye contact. How you hold your body shapes how grounded and present you feel before you ever speak. A minute or two in an open, upright posture won't rewire your hormones, but it can settle nerves and help you feel more in command. Even small shifts help:

• Uncross your arms
• Plant your feet shoulder-width apart
• Lift your chin slightly

You set the tone of the room before you say a single word.
