1. Testosterone and cortisol hormone
Recent research shows that More powerful leaders and smart people tend to have higher levels of testosterone and lower levels of cortisol. Higher levels of testosterone (in both men and women) lead to increased feelings of confidence. Meanwhile,lower levels of cortisol lead to decreased anxiety and an improved ability to deal with stress.
This basically means that..you're biologically primed to be more assertive, confident, and relaxed. At the same time, you will be less reactive to stress and more likely to handle pressure situations well when you embrace this hormones. In other words, the correct hormone levels can make you feel more confident and less stressed.
Okay so here's the deal!!
Try high power posses.
Research shows that High power poses increased testosterone by 20 percent and decreased cortisol levels by 25 percent.
If you're feeling stressed a few minutes before your next presentation, interview, or meeting take a moment to adjust your posture and stand in a powerful position. Put your hands on your hips, keep your chin up, and your chest out.
Doing this for just two minutes will raise your testosterone and increase your confidence, while also decreasing your cortisol and improving your ability to handle stress.
