Our body language and self talk affect how we feel which affects our happiness and productivity.
By putting yourself in a ‘power position’ you prime yourself for a strong and productive day.
To flourish you need to be in an environment where you receive 3 to 6 times as many positive comments than negative. Comments coming from yourself are useful and probably twice as important (Source to come). The Super Stance Method gives you 40 positive comments to start your day off in the ‘flourish’ zone.

What’s your Positivity ratio?
80% of Americans fall short of the 3-to-1 positivity ratio that predicts flourishing.For more than twenty years, Dr. Barbara Fredrickson has researched these questions. What she discovered and teaches has made her a luminary in psychology and beyond. In her Positivity Book, she shares how experiencing positive emotions in a 3-to-1 ratio to negative emotions leads people to achieve what they once could only imagine. Far from frivolous, tapping into one’s own unique sources of positivity is a wise and healthy investment in the future.
In Positivity, Dr. Fredrickson reveals how the stunning new scientific discoveries about this powerful – though undervalued – state of mind can enhance your relationships, improve your health, relieve depression, and broaden your mind.

In general, the higher your ratio the better. There are limits – above 6 and especially above 11, but most people are unlikely to ever approach such high levels.
Positive emotions are beneficial in many areas of life, increasing general health, lifespan, social functioning, mental health, income, productivity, and more.
