There’s this trend going on Quora where people posting
questions like “what can I learn in 10/15/25 minutes which can be helpful for
the rest of life?” Amazing! Thanks to the person
who posted this. The very first thing that amazed me was to learn how effectively
I can utilize 20-30 minutes for constant improvement. In a way it taught me,
how interesting my life can be once I am aware of such tiny-mini tricks. But
isn’t it unfair that this information was flowing in one direction and my
contribution toward it is near to zero? With some guilt under my belt, my brain
started looking for any small trick that has worked for me in last few days.
Here’s
it is.
Power of Posture/Body
Language
You already might be aware of dangerous side effect of bad
posture, especially if you from IT field. There is no doubt how simple change in
your sitting posture would benefit you physically. But here I am not talking
about it. How would you feel if I tell you that a simple posture will help you
help you feel better, powerful and happy?
Smiling:
Study shows that just putting a pencil in your mouth for two
minutes will make you feel little happier than you were. What happens here is
that our brain has learned to associate smiling with pleasure. Try this. It
works at-least for me.
Power Posing:
Another use of this technique is to feel powerful. When you
pretend to be powerful, you are more likely to actually feel powerful. Before you
go into the next stressful evaluative situation, for two minutes, try doing
this, in the elevator, in a bathroom stall, at your desk behind closed doors.
