Today on something you should know, how your posture can affect your mood, your self-esteem, even your math skills. Then creativity. Everyone loves creativity, but maybe that concept has been a little overhyped.
I have nothing against creativity and most of the meanings that we mean it. But one of the problems is that it's a very vague term and it kind of always has been. For one thing, it's vague about whether it is talking about art or technology or anything
else. Also, how often should you take a shower? And horror films, why we love them and why they don't get no respect.
What tends to happen is when a horror film gets critical acclaim, usually someone attached to that horror film says that no no, this isn't a horror film. That happened with the Exorcist. There is a certain idea that the horror film is a lesser form of film.
All this today on something you should know. A big thank you to today's sponsor, Vinted. I think most of us have what I call someday clothes. I'll wear that someday. That'll fit better someday. Someday I'll have a place to wear that. Meanwhile, it's been hanging in the closet for three years. Vinted offers another possibility. Sell it. Every day people can sell clothes they're no longer wearing and make some extra money.
How does improving posture boost mood, confidence, and cognitive performance?
And they've made the process pretty painless. Take what you don't wear, list it on Vinted. Listing is quick and simple. And when an item sells, Vinted creates the prepaid shipping label for you. And importantly, there are no seller fees on vintage. So when you sell something, you keep everything you earn. I like this whole idea because instead of clothes just taking up space, somebody else gets to wear.

them and you get some money out of the deal. Your closet looks better too. I mean everybody wins, even the closet. So maybe it's time to stop waiting for someday. Download the vintage app for free and start listing with no seller fees so you keep everything you earn. Something
you should know. Fascinating intel. The world's top experts. And practical advice you can use in your life. Today, something you should know with Mike Carruthers.
Hi there. Welcome to something you should know. Assuming you're sitting How are you sitting? Are you sitting up straight or are you slouching? Well, the better choice would be to sit up straight. It can do wonders for it can do wonders for all kinds of things. Research from San Francisco State University shows that people who slouch have lower energy, higher levels of depression than those people with better posture. Whether you're standing or sitting, slouching interferes with the flow of oxygen from your lungs to your brain. In another study, participants with upright posture, good posture, showed higher self esteem, more arousal, better mood, and lower fear compared to participants who slumped. Good posture helps with unexpected things too, like math.
In a study from 2018, researchers looked at how well college kids did simple math based on their posture. Comparing sitting up straight and slumping, 56% said it was easier to do the math in an upright position. And that is something you should know. What could possibly be controversial about creativity? Over the last several decades, anything creative has been considered wonderful. We really all need to be more creative. The workplace needs more creative ideas. How can you use creativity to improve what you do, no matter what it is you do? There's this idea that we should foster more creativity in ourselves and in our children, because well our children are tomorrow's creators. But wait a minute, hang on.
Maybe this whole idea of creativity in our everyday lives has been a little overhyped.
