Posture, Power, and Personality: How Your Stance Influences Your Psychological Assertiveness

You are the personality seeking the assertiveness. The personality is the source of the chronic patterns, the chronic chronic chronic tendencies, the chronic sense of the never-quite-asserted. The personality is also the source of the chronic chronic chronic postural collapse, the chronic chronic chronic nervous system dysregulation, and the chronic sense of the never-quite-assertive that are the foundation of one of the most under-recognized, and most under-discussed, psychological phenomena in modern life. The phenomenon is the postural assertiveness, and the assertiveness is the source of the chronic emotional dysregulation, the chronic chronic cognitive impairment, and the chronic disconnection from the psychological assertiveness that are the foundation of the most under-developed, and most under-celebrated, character traits of modern personality life.

The understanding of the posture, the power, and the personality is the practice of using the stance for the assertiveness. The understanding is the source of the emotional regulation, the assertiveness, and the meaningful life that are the foundation of the more engaged, more meaningful, more deeply assertive life.

What the Postural Assertiveness Is

The postural assertiveness is the chronic, often unconscious, experience of the persistent postural collapse, the persistent chronic chronic nervous system dysregulation, and the persistent sense of the never-quite-assertive. The assertiveness is the source of the chronic emotional dysregulation, the chronic chronic cognitive impairment, and the chronic disconnection from the psychological assertiveness. The assertiveness is the source of the difficulty of the navigation.

Research on the embodied power by Amy Cuddy and others has shown that the embodied power is the source of the chronic assertiveness, and the assertiveness is the source of the chronic psychological power. The power is the source of the meaningful life, and the meaningful life is the foundation of the more engaged, more meaningful, more deeply assertive life.

Research on the posture and the nervous system by various researchers has shown that the posture is the source of the chronic nervous system regulation, and the regulation is the source of the chronic assertiveness. The assertiveness is the source of the meaningful life, and the meaningful life is the foundation of the more engaged, more meaningful, more deeply assertive life.

How the Stance Influences the Assertiveness

The stance influences the assertiveness in several ways. The first is the the chronic nervous system activation. The stance is the source of the chronic nervous system activation, and the activation is the source of the chronic assertiveness. The assertiveness is the source of the meaningful life, and the meaningful life is the foundation of the more engaged, more meaningful, more deeply assertive life.

The second way is the the chronic hormonal response. The stance is the source of the chronic hormonal response, and the response is the source of the chronic assertiveness. The assertiveness is the source of the meaningful life, and the meaningful life is the foundation of the more engaged, more meaningful, more deeply assertive life.

The third way is the the chronic social perception. The stance is the source of the chronic social perception, and the perception is the source of the chronic assertiveness. The assertiveness is the source of the meaningful life, and the meaningful life is the foundation of the more engaged, more meaningful, more deeply assertive life.

The fourth way is the the chronic cognitive framing. The stance is the source of the chronic cognitive framing, and the framing is the source of the chronic assertiveness. The assertiveness is the source of the meaningful life, and the meaningful life is the foundation of the more engaged, more meaningful, more deeply assertive life.

What the Stance Change Achieves

The stance change achieves several important things. The first is the the psychological assertiveness. The stance change is the source of the engagement with the psychological assertiveness, and the engagement is the source of the meaningful life. The assertiveness is the source of the growth, and the growth is the foundation of the more engaged, more meaningful, more deeply assertive life.

The second is the the emotional regulation. The stance change is the source of the engagement with the emotional regulation, and the engagement is the source of the meaningful life. The regulation is the source of the growth, and the growth is the foundation of the more engaged, more meaningful, more deeply assertive life.

The third is the the cognitive clarity. The stance change is the source of the engagement with the cognitive clarity, and the engagement is the source of the meaningful life. The clarity is the source of the growth, and the growth is the foundation of the more engaged, more meaningful, more deeply assertive life.

The fourth is the the meaningful action. The stance change is the source of the engagement with the meaningful action, and the engagement is the source of the meaningful life. The action is the source of the growth, and the growth is the foundation of the more engaged, more meaningful, more deeply assertive life.

How to Change the Stance for the Assertiveness

1. Use the "power pose" for the two minutes before the high-stakes events. The pose is the source of the engagement with the assertiveness, and the engagement is the source of the meaningful life. The pose is the source of the growth, and the growth is the foundation of the more engaged, more meaningful, more deeply assertive life.

2. Practice the "open" chest and the "back" shoulders throughout the day. The practice is the source of the engagement with the assertiveness, and the engagement is the source of the meaningful life. The practice is the source of the growth, and the growth is the foundation of the more engaged, more meaningful, more deeply assertive life.

3. Use the "grounded" stance in the moments of the self-doubt. The stance is the source of the engagement with the assertiveness, and the engagement is the source of the meaningful life. The stance is the source of the growth, and the growth is the foundation of the more engaged, more meaningful, more deeply assertive life.

4. Practice the "slow" walk to embody the assertiveness. The walk is the source of the engagement with the assertiveness, and the engagement is the source of the meaningful life. The walk is the source of the growth, and the growth is the foundation of the more engaged, more meaningful, more deeply assertive life.

5. Use the "voice" tone to embody the assertiveness. The tone is the source of the engagement with the assertiveness, and the engagement is the source of the meaningful life. The tone is the source of the growth, and the growth is the foundation of the more engaged, more meaningful, more deeply assertive life.

6. Practice the "eye contact" to embody the assertiveness. The contact is the source of the engagement with the assertiveness, and the engagement is the source of the meaningful life. The contact is the source of the growth, and the growth is the foundation of the more engaged, more meaningful, more deeply assertive life.

7. Celebrate the stance changes. The celebration is the source of the reinforcement, and the reinforcement is the source of the motivation. The celebration is the source of the engagement, and the engagement is the foundation of the navigation.

When the Stance Change Is the Right Move

It is important to say clearly: the stance change is the right move for the postural assertiveness, the chronic postural collapse, and the chronic sense of the never-quite-assertive. The stance change is the wrong move when the assertiveness is the source of the medical condition, the chronic pain, or the injury that requires the professional intervention. The honest self-inquiry is whether the assertiveness is the source of the posture, or whether the assertiveness is the source of the medical condition. The first is the source of the engagement, and the second is the source of the professional attention.

The Takeaway

The understanding of the posture, the power, and the personality is one of the most under-recognized, and most under-celebrated, integrations in modern personality life. The integration is the source of the emotional regulation, the assertiveness, and the meaningful life that are the foundation of the more engaged, more meaningful, more deeply assertive life. The cure is not the more will. The cure is the stance, the body, and the engagement with the body as the source of the assertiveness. The next time you feel the chronic collapse, pause long enough to use the power pose, to use the open chest, and to engage with the stance. The engagement is the source of the more meaningful, more assertive, more deeply embodied life.

This compels us to understand ourselves and to clarify our identity. This “search for self” is also what leads many of us to personality typology. We sense that understanding our type (e.g., INFJ) might give us insight into ourselves, as well as the role we might play in the larger theater of life.Unfortunately, many personality books provide only a superficial understanding of the types.
