  1. 0:00 Translator: Joseph Geni Reviewer: Morton Bast
  2. 0:15 So I want to start by offering you a free no-tech life hack,
  3. 0:21 and all it requires of you is this: that you change your posture for two minutes.
  4. 0:28 But before I give it away, I want to ask you to right now do a little audit of your body and what you're doing with your body.
  5. 0:35 So how many of you are sort of making yourselves smaller?
  6. 0:37 Maybe you're hunching, crossing your legs, maybe wrapping your ankles.
  7. 0:41 Sometimes we hold onto our arms like this.
  8. 0:45 Sometimes we spread out.
