A recent study relates physical position to the level of self-esteem and sense of power of people. Here we have more details on this finding and give you some recommendations to improve the perception you have of yourself to, or call self-esteem.
The reality is that life itself is different in either case. Try it: Choose a landscape and stand on a chair or bench for you more height, then kneel and watch the same scene, how it looks before and after?
Just as the actual height changes the way we see the world, the attitude we adopt to walk and sit, regardless of stature, also speaks loudly about how we feel about ourselves. Added to this are other aspects such as the expression on your face, your reactions, looks, movements and other nonverbal behaviors that also speak to you.
With this in mind and following the idea that the species is the posture that indicates power or supremacy between them, a group of researchers from Columbia and Harvard universities wondered whether something similar happen between people, and found that those with expansive views (with more relaxed limbs and occupying more space in your body) had more feelings of power and a greater willingness to take risks than those with more closed and retracted positions (with the tips touching the torso and minimize the space they occupied, hunched postures or inwards).
Had you thought of this before? How do you stand and what is the perception you yourself? Self-esteem is the way you look and think to yourself a. People with healthy self-esteem feel good about themselves, appreciate their own worth and pride in their skills, abilities and achievements. People with low self-esteem, however, feel insecure, they believe that no one likes and that are not good at anything. Look at the difference of transmitting a person walking with his mind up and another that makes looking at the floor.
Self-esteem changes over time. It is therefore possible that at some point in your life you feel with low self esteem, but you're way of thinking positively, you can probably change your opinion about yourself a. Sometimes, if you can not do it alone, it is preferable that you ask for professional help to have high self-esteem that allows you to develop yourself in a healthy way in all the activities you have in everyday life.
Some studies have shown that outdoor exercise such as walking, biking and even engage in gardening, helping to raise self-esteem. And best of all is that five minutes of exposure to nature might be sufficient to give that boost your mental health.
Other recommendations to improve your self-esteem include:
Avoid having negative thoughts about yourself a. Instead of focusing on your flaws start to think about your positive aspects.
Identify what things you do not like about yourself to you can change and what not. If there is something you can change, do not expect to do, but if not possible, start working for love as you are.
