In this Hindi‑English talk, Paridhi Dhingra explains that verbal affirmations are ineffective unless they match a person’s body language – a principle she calls “congruency.” She argues that feelings and outward expressions must be aligned for authenticity, and that this alignment can be deliberately cultivated. Using actors as an example, she shows how a performer can consciously evoke sadness or happiness by adopting the corresponding physical cues. Dhingra then outlines practical daily exercises – smiling, laughing, dancing, and matching affirmations with body language – that anyone can use to shift their emotional state. The core claim is that by deliberately controlling body language, one can influence and even control internal feelings.
