How to release your inner superhero.
Be your own hero.
What makes a superhero so super? Is it their magic powers? Their skintight suit? Or is something deep within? Turns out, their secret may be more attainable than we realised.
Here’s what we can learn about confidence, self-acceptance and teamwork from some of the world’s favourite supers.
What is it?
Three tips for unlocking your inner superhero to feel unstoppable.
Who is it for?
Anyone who struggles with imposter syndrome.
Anyone feeling anything less than SUPER.
How does it work?
Just ask Wonder Woman, the Hulk and Batman.
#1: Power pose like Wonder Woman:
Scientifically proven, standing tall with hands on hips boosts confidence. So next time you’re about to go into a big meeting, hot date or anything a little unnerving, try Wonder Woman’s power pose in the mirror for two minutes beforehand and feel ready to take on anything.
#2. Embrace your flaws like Hulk:
Psychiatrist Arnold Beisser wrote about the paradoxical theory of change. It describes how a person can’t truly evolve until they accept their flaws – something the Hulk can relate to all too well. So be like the Hulk, embrace vulnerabilities as a stepping stone to true strength.
#3: Build your family like Batman:
Batman's strength lies not just in himself, but in his allies. Your support network not only enhances your resilience but also provides a collective strength to overcome challenges. So identify who’s in your Justice League – and see how they can support you to smash goals.
Unleash your inner hero:
You don't need a cape to be a hero. Adopt a power pose, embrace your flaws and build a support system. You have all it takes to be your own superhero.
