A neat trick

5 Replies

Hey, I learned something new recently, wanted to share...I heard a neat little technique on Klove radio station. If you stand in a superhero pose, it helps with anxiety and breathing...I tried it and it really works! Give it a try. And if you don't know what a superhero pose is... its standing tall, hands placed to your hips and looking up to the side standing proud...weird but it actually helps me.

I read somewhere that if you raise your arms above your head, as if you are happy that you just scored a goal or won an award, it actually helps you indifferent ways.
