Your body language shapes who you are

The Video I watched was called Your body language shapes who you are by Amy Cuddy a social psychologist, and the video talked about how can body language can effect you and your personality. The reason i choose this video is because body language interest me for the surprisingly results they have, although i don't know much about body language or about psychology, yet i enjoy it a lot. 
The video was approximately 20 minutes long but to me it felt like 1 minute. i'm going to have a hard time summarizing the video for everything i heard and saw in the video was important. The first thing that she mentioned was a small body tweak that we should try, yet she didn't say what it's going to do and why until later in the video, and that tweak was to change the poster for two minutes. As an introduction she said that she's interested in other people's body language, and how bodies communicate with each other, and how people's body language effect their life. 
One significant expression that she talked about that everyone do it even animals do the same thing  from the beginning of time is that is when feeling powerful or having power humans expand and animals do the same thing, and when feeling powerless we tend to close up and we wrap our self up and make our self small and try to avoid pumping into other people. When someone  is being powerful with us we tend to do the opposite, we mirror them. According to what she noticed while teaching is that some people come to class early and occupy a large space and try to expand while others comes on time and sit by their own closed up, and when they participate the first kind of students tent to raise their hand high and a lot  while the second type raise it low and not quite as much. Another thing she noticed is that it's kind of related to gender,

My beautiful journey during 2014 Spring Break...

Each semester we have a break for us to relax and get away from the school atmosphere in order to start fresh after the break. This semester it was the spring break, in the past the spring break used to be called the Easter break and it's a Christian festival and holiday celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ on the third day after his crucifixion at Calvary. But recently the US Separated the religious holidays from the school holidays, so now we have the spring break in a diffident time than Easter.For the spring break of 2014 I had a very busy schedule waiting for me. I had my plans ready few weeks before the break, starting by buying my ticket to SoCal Swordfight 2014 located at Huntington beach, CA which is the biggest event in the HEMA  Alliance and it's mainly about historical European martial arts and trainers from all around the world planned to attend this event. This event took three full days from 9:00 am till 9:00 pm but i had to wake up around 6:30 for i had to take a 2 hour bus to the event's location and another 2 hour bus after the event back to my apartment. But it was worth it i enjoyed every second of every moment i had. But that wasn't all of my break it was only the first 3 days of the break, after this spectacular event i hanged out with my friends for exactly two days where we played some card games together and went to some fun places such as sky zone and laser quest and we went the movie theater together it was fun to just relax and play with my friends.The third part of my spring break took place far away from fullerton and orange county, me and my friends rented a car and my friends had a car too so the six of us took off to Arizona, Tempe in two cars with 3 in each car, it was a fun road trip. when we arrived there around 11:00 pm the first thing we did is to go to our friends there and say hi to them, then they helped us find a hotel to stay in. After a long search we finally found a hotel that have an empty room for us to spend the night in, after we booked the room we went t eat dinner at around 2:00 am after dinner we went straight to bed exhausting from the trip we all fall asleep at the moment. the next day we woke up late in the afternoon around 2:30 pm for we were tired of the trip, so we decided to wonder around the city to explore the place and have an idea of what we should do. so after a long day of pretty much just wondering around we went back to the hotel and plan our second day there, the plan was to go to the Grand Canyon, the next day we woke up early in the morning and we washed up and soon after we ate breakfast we took off to the Grand Canyon it was a 3 hour trip, yet we didn't feel it pass by. After we arrived to the Grand Canyon we welled along it and took some pictures and went hiking there after we finished hiking the night started to fall so we headed back to the cars and went to eat after we ate we headed straight back home the back trip took more than it should because there was a big accident in the middle of the road but eventually we arrived home. The first thing we did after we arrived home is to plan the last day of our trip, so we planned a very tight and busy schedule. The third day started by us waking up little bit late than the schedule but it was ok, after we woke up and wash up and all we went to the Arizona Science Center, where we had fun playing with scientific stuff. After that we went to an Italian restaurant for lunch where each of us enjoyed a nice Italian meal,as soon as we finished lunch we went to a mall called Fashion Squire where we hung out for the afternoon, and right around 6:30 pm we headed out for a nice ice-skating ring where we planed on meeting our friend from Arizona there. It was fun to ice skate there with my friends. As so as the round finished each of us got into a car and we headed to Airworx which is a trampoline park where we jumped and did flips and twist and other moves too. When we finished from that we headed to a nice Lebanese restaurant for dinner. After dinner we went back to the hotel right around 12:00 am and we all slept immediately not only because we were tired but also because we had a long day in the street of ahead us. The next day came so we woke up early and packed our luggage and stuffed it in the car after that we went to eat breakfast preparing for the long trip. After breakfast we road in the car headed back home.that was the end of my break...

THE END
