Acting! Merely Acting!

Body language influences emotions.

In one well known experiment, actors were asked to portray anger and then were subjected to numerous physiological tests, including heart rate, blood pressure, core temperature, galvanic skin response, and hormone levels. Next, the actors were exposed to a situation that made them genuinely angry, and the same measurements were taken.

There were virtually no difference in the two profiles. Good acting produces precisely the same physiology that real emotions do.

Carry yourselves confidently and you will eventually start to feel confident, even in highly stressful situations. Consciously create the look on the outside that you want to feel on the inside.

You are what you repeatedly do. Excellence is not a singular act but a habit.

-Aristotle
