Activity No. 1: "Fake it until you become it".
As to what Amy Cuddy said, "Don't fake it until you make it, fake it until you became it", she explained it in a sense that you are being an impostor, a good impostor, in order to change for the better. It's like the body changing the mind. You embody what you want to become. It's like giving a living proof that you want to be someone better. When I first listened to what she had said, it sounded strange, but when she explained what it was-- which is the embodiment of the good change that you wanted to become-- it made me feel like "oo nga no?" 2 minutes can really change someone, and that someone might actually be me.
