A more confident version of yourself if you are not.

Best thing I've ever heard you say. Unquestionably!! 👏

Yes, this has been scientifically proven. Recently with the simple act of smiling or striking a power pose.😄💪

and standing tall with your head held straight.
@dark548: So so proud of you. Now you got it!! 👏👍

True. Even just straightening up your posture can help.😊@dark548:

I find that if I'm having one of those days where I'm just feeling angry or sad, but I have to be around people who shouldn't have to deal with MY moods, I smile, and pretend everything is great. Eventually, I realize that I'm not feeling rotten anymore. I have pretended to be in a good mood long enough that I feel much better than I did when I started out.

@Serenitree: too over the top. Try too hard.

@dark548: I suppose some people could do that. I simply smiled instead of frowning, and kept my voice pleasant instead of angry or whiny. Not like I pulled out the cane and the top hat and did song and dance routines

That's kinda synonymous with "Dress for success" to me. I imagine it can help you to get into a certain frame of mind regarding your future.

Yess! portray the qualities you wish to become part of you :)

I think this only works with things you want to/have to/will master. If it's not on your heart to do it, and you don't plan on doing it again, it's not worth being fake.
I tend to think this is true. Believing in your dreams is the only way to make them happen.

and yourself 👌

I suppose setting a standard for yourself helps.

@Kuronekko: lol but eventually it becomes a reality or natural. It's a way to reprogram the brain.

I was referring to confidence.. you can fake it all you want but that's not going to make you any more confident.. that comes within yourself.

@Pinkrainbowkisses: yeah but if you fake it, it's like challenging your comfort zone/not caring what people think. Going after what you want to be, how you want to be and act. But it must be balance I suppose.

@Pinkrainbowkisses: you'd be surprised in how walking with your head strait and taking comfortable yet determined steps make people react to you and how you feel about yourself.

Well my life is: always faking it but failing to ever make it haha
dark548 · M
You must keep trying until something works!
