Excerpt taken from, Unlimited Power: Black Choice by Anthony Robins & Joseph McClendon Physiology: The Avenue of Excellence (pg. 195) It’s a fact that if you put yourself in a resourceful physiology, you can’t be depressed. Try this. Stand up right now. Stand tall and breathe deeply, pulling air into your diaphragm. Throw your shoulders back and look forward as you put a Sheepish, silly grin on your face. Move your body. See if you can feel depressed in that posture. You’ll find that it’s almost impossible. Instead your brain is getting a message from you physiology to be alert vital and resourceful. Often when I don this exercise in my seminars, people start to laugh because they can’t get depressed. Wouldn’t that be a great tool the next time you feel a little down? This may sound simplistic, but when people come to me and complain they can’t do something, I say, “What would happen if you acted like you could?” They usually respond with something like, “Well I don’t know how”… I say, “So… act like you did know how. Stand the way you would be standing if you did know how to do it. Breathe the way you would breathe if you did know how to do it right now. Make your face as if you could do it right know.” As soon as they stand that way and breath that way and put their physiology in that state, they instantly feel they can do it. It works without fail because of the amazing leverage of being able to adapt and change physiology. Over and over again, simply by changing physiology, you can make people do things they could never do before – because the second you change their physiology you change their state. You try it think of something you imagine you can’t do but would like to be able to do. Now how would you stand if you knew you could do it? How would you talk? How would you breathe?
