CoT:
Your composure and posture communicate to not only others, but also your mind about whether you are up-and-coming or down-and-falling.
So, attend carefully to your posture. Quit drooping and hunching around. Speak your mind. Put your desires forward. Walk tall and gaze forthrightly ahead. Dare to be dangerous. Encourage the serotonin to flow plentifully through the neural pathways desperate for its calming influence. Stand up straight with your shoulders back.

COT: it’s been a great year, growing in confidence at work, at home, in general from this continued experience. Even if you can’t do something, you can try, and even if you suck at it, there’s someone to your left and right trying, too. Keep coming out to strengthen the body, but more so, the mind.
