My thoughts on Power Posing after 4+ months...

What I've found  out about power posing is interesting...

Here's what's going through my mind during those 2 minutes:

0:01-0:30 "Why the fuck am I doing this, this is so stupid."
0:30-1:00 "Well, I'm already doing it, I might as well keep doing it..."

What's fascinating is that I don't get the "payoff" until the last 30 seconds.
