 A
2010 Harvard study showed that holding an open posture
for two minutes lowers cortisol (a major stress hormone)
and increases testosterone (a confidence-inducing
hormone).
While standing, simply raise your arms above
your head at shoulder distance. Take five long, deep
breaths. Then inhale as you reach and hold your left
wrist with your right hand; exhale as you side bend your
entire body to the right, stretching out your left side.
Hold for a breath or two. Inhale as you return your arms
straight above your head.
Repeat on the other side.

Find your motivational switch
 Everyone
has a way to switch on their own motivation mode.
Some people may be motivated by praising their efforts,
others may be motivated by participating into a group
discussion.
Whatever it is, find out what’s your switch and exploit
it.
