Has anyone ever told you to “stand up tall” to appear more confident?
While this can certainly work, there’s something bigger missing from this advice.
How do you *arrive to* standing confidently?
Sitting to standing is a huge transition. We suddenly have to rely on our own two feet, our core, and posture to hold us up and balance us. If we rush this transition simply to appear confident, it might actually have the opposite effect on how we really feel on the inside.
Take as much time as you need in this transition. I took so long that what you see in this video is 2x speed. Keep practicing this in a private space, so that your process is already internalized for those times life asks you to stand up tall.
