Need an instant mood lift? Sitting or standing up straighter can help you getting more confidence instantly.

Researchers from Ohio State University have recently published a study about the impact of posture to the level of confidence. They found out that participants who were sitting or standing up straighter showed an increased level of confidence and were much more secure in their abilities than those who were slumped over.

According to the study author and psychologist Richard E. Petty, PhD., people feel more confident when they’re sitting upright, and they can attribute that confidence to their present thoughts. So, just sitting or standing up straighter can lift your level of confidence!
