Day 74: Super Hero Pose

I've discovered an instant fix for bad moods, bad days, just bad anything really. It only takes a minute or so to feel the effects. It costs nothing (except maybe a little embarrassment if you are the shy type) and it can be done pretty much anywhere. I suppose even in your imagination, where you wouldn't even need to be embarrassed since only you would be able to "see" yourself. Are you ready for it?

Stand like a super hero. I know it's completely silly but you have to try it. It really works. If you are feeling down and out or just need a quick pick-me-up, simply employ the super hero pose - feet shoulder width apart, hands in fists and on your hips with your elbows pushed forward so that they are just in front of your body - and just try not to smile. It is unavoidable. I suppose a cape might help with the overall image but that would only add to the potential embarrassment. Seriously though, just do it. Channel Superman or Wonder Woman or whoever your favorite super hero is. If nothing else, it will at least make you smile.
