THE BODY ENERGY PROTOCOL™

Your Body Doesn't Follow Your Energy. Your Energy Follows Your Body.

 

1-Minute Self-Assessment

Notice your posture right now.

☐ My shoulders are slouched.

☐ My head is tilted forward.

☐ My chest feels closed.

☐ My breathing is shallow.

☐ I feel physically small.

If you answered "Yes" to most of these,

your body may already be sending your brain a message of low power.

Research highlighted by Harvard Business School professor Amy Cuddy found that participants who adopted expansive, high-power postures for just two minutes reported feeling more powerful. The study also reported changes associated with lower cortisol and higher testosterone levels after these poses.
