Strange (but true) Body PostureSecrets To Landing A New Job...FAST!
By: Ian RichardsFreelance “brain hack” writer from Vancouver BC.Vancouver - Is it possible your body posture has a direct affect on your ability to geta new, higher paying job?Believe it or not the answer is...YES!Here’s why:Have you ever seen a dog wag its tail while it was sad?Can’t you just tell by looking at someone if they are sad or happy?Better yet...pretend you are really upset right now. What does your body do?I bet you don’t smile...you drop your shoulders, and lower your head a bit.Ok...ok...so what does all this mean?It’s simple: What neurological scientists have concluded is our physiology (posture,muscle tension, breathing rate, facial expressions) is directly tied into ouremotional state. It’s like a see-saw. If you raise one end the other has to move aswell.Listen: It takes 43
muscles
to frown and only 17 to
smile.
Smiling is scientificallhyproven to trigger “endorphin” dumps in your brain. Flooding you with good feelings. Try this test...I want you to try to feel sad, while forcing a smile on your face. Go ahead and try it.Not easy is it? In fact, it’s physically impossible. Just like smiling makes it impossible to feel sad... a specific “physiology” makes youirresistible in job interviews.Here’s it is:Did you know communication is at least 80% non-verbal? Meaning when you aretalking face to face with someone, how you say something is more important thanwhat you say?A little experiment to prove this: If you walk up to a person who doesn’t understandEnglish and you say to them gently and in a kind, nurturing voice, “Hello, I think,
 
you are the biggest piece of garbage I’ve ever met” and you smile, politelyafterwards. You are going to get a friendly reaction.If you say the same thing, but you yell it...you get an angry look on your face andtense up the muscles in your face. You are going to get an unfriendly reaction.Listen: In a job interview people aren’t sure if you
can
do the job you say you do.So when they say “We need someone who can work 40 hours a week, will show upon time and do the xyz job properly...can you do it?”How you respond will determine if they believe your or not.How you respond will determine if they want to
hire you right now
...or if they wantto see the next candidate.How should you respond?It’s simple: With confidence. A confident “yes”...is much different than a confident“no”.People will tend to believe your answers if you say it with a confident “yes” ratherthan a wimpy “yes”.What you need to is find your “physiology” of confidence. This is trickier thansimply smiling. For me, my chin raises. My breathing becomes deeper and morerhythmic. My shoulder blades are pulled back, I’m smiling, my eyes are wide open.When I am in the state I am unstoppable.Now, you may be wondering...it’s kind of difficult to remember to do this at alltimes. And..you’d be right. It’s a pain to remember and if you’re not naturallyconfident...you’ll find yourself slipping right back into your “unconfident physiology”all the time.So what are you going to do? Take a look at this: I found an email newsletter written by a man named HarlanKilstein. He’s a crack writer, and he teaches a simple technique (it takes fiveminutes to do) where a bad physiology (meaning bad state of mind you don’t want)can be used as a
trigger 
for a confident state. Think about it.Let’s say you approach a member of the opposite sex and you’re feeling a bit shy. If you used what this man taught you then...as soon as that feeling of shyness crept inyour body, you’d instantly leap into your confident state of mind.In fact you can use this “brain hack” to replace any behaviours and states of mindswith a more desirable state of mind.
