Having Posture = More Success

I recently teamed up with an amazing business partner of mine, Micki Lessard, and we did a great training for our team on Posture. This training was inspired from tips that we had received at a recent convention and Posture is certainly very relevant with regard to business and your personal endeavors. I think it is because no matter what you have going on day to day or what you are trying to achieve the ten ingredients to Posture can benefit anyone. And just so you understand… I am not talking about sitting up straight, shoulders back, etc. This is more about how you carry yourself as a whole… personal Posture.

10 ingredients to Posture:

1. A Strong “Why”-  Developing Posture requires that you ask yourself… What do I want out of life? Where do you see yourself in a year from now or 2 years, or five? We all have thoughts about this and the only way to move yourself or your family in any direction is by having a strong reason to be doing it… a why.

2. Trust- Obviously we have support systems and people on whom or things of which we rely, but in order to obtain personal Posture you must trust in your decisions. When you trust your choices, ultimately people will trust you!

3. Conviction- In anything you do act with conviction, this is having a strong belief in what you are doing. People who have Posture, act with conviction and have their own compass.

They use it to direct them where they want to go in life. It really shows an individual’s strength and character.

4. Belief- This is just about believing in yourself. Believe that your goals are obtainable, believe in your capability to achieve them and believe in your dreams. This belief will help you to stand tall and proud in who you are and what you are trying to do. Which is huge key to radiating Posture!

5. Confidence- Have confidence in accompaniment with that belief. Do not use phrases like “I can’t” or ” I could never”. Instead make a conscious effort to say “How can I do that” or ” I might need help, but I can and I will”. Changing the words you use can very quickly increase your confidence and Posture.

6. Certainty- When your Posture includes belief in yourself you are actually in a state of certainty. This simply means you have no doubt in what you are doing, being certain you are in the right place at the right time.

7. Passion- Having passion is just about enthusiasm and excitement for what you do. Every one’s passion lies in different places, but I encourage you to find yours because it will not only increase your Posture, but also your happiness.

8. Sincerity- OK y’all this is really simple… wait for it…. you ready??? BE REAL!!! Just be real. Present yourself authentically in every situation and be genuine. Something I have learned over the years is that if you act with Posture and integrity, you can’t go wrong! That is- be who you say you are and do what you say you are going to do. And remember intergrity is a key Character Trait and Character is what you do when no one is watching.

9. Knowledge- Just continue to learn and to grow. If your passion is cooking, learn new recipes, if it is parenting keep soaking up info, etc. When you keep learning and gaining knowledge it helps you to grow and your passion to increase.

10. Honesty- OK so it seems simple to some of you reading this, but it is not so simple to others. Be truthful with others, but more importantly be truthful with you. What can you improve on? What can you do better? These honest inventory type questions can only lead to growth. And like the CEO of the company I work for always says “The Truth is Good Enough”. So, let it be good enough for you!

Missing a “Posture” Ingredient?

Keep in mind that all the ingredients are essential. Just like baking a cake, if you leave one ingredient out, sure the cake might taste OK, but it will not taste as good as it could have if you had all the ingredients. So I encourage you to be honest with yourself, which ingredient/s are you missing and go get it.

Have Posture and start being the you that you deserve and attaining the things you have dreamed! After all Posture leads to your decisions and ”Your Decisions = Your Destiny” (Hyrum Smith).
