Victory Stance Works Both Ways

It's natural for winners to throw their heads back and put arms up and wide when reaching the finish line. The Victory Stance expresses winning as well as pride. Since not everybody can be the first to finish the race, it's nice that Victory Stance also works in reverse. Putting your body in the Stance stimulates feelings of confidence. Claiming a bigger physical space translates into more expansive thoughts. Expansive thinking inspires an uplifted mood, leading to your own feeling of victory. Try it: Hands up and out! Chin lifted! Legs wide and stable! Hold that pose. Suddenly you're a star!
