Rise up.

Resilience tool — Power moves

Your body talks to your self-image. Straighten up, get your breath moving, add music.

Video guide

This video is being produced and will appear here as soon as it is ready. The instructions below work without the video too.

How it works

  1. Music on. A song that lifts you instantly.
  2. Grow tall. Chest out, shoulders back, arms wide open above you. Hold for 30 seconds.
  3. Power breathing, 20 breaths. Breathe in and out quickly while moving your arms up and down.

Power breathing is an offer, not a duty. Stop and breathe normally if you feel dizzy. The power moves work on their own too.

Take with you

Notice in everyday life how upright you carry yourself, and straighten up again and again.
