Funny thing, your body… feeling a certain way makes you hold your body and use your face muscles a certain way.

The times I found this was really useful, when you are feeling down for almost no reason. Maybe because the weather is bad, maybe because 'I just dont feel like smiling", maybe because I am just too tired. Those times, realizing that you are feeling like this for no real reason, its just a feeling, faking it gives you a better chance of actually making it.

And of couse crossed arms don't have to mean what the article says, but c'mon, it's psychology! I can't be as precise as math is, so OF COURSE you have to see those things in context. Time, scenery, situation, weather (you might cross your arms if you're cold) and all that stuff have to be included in evaluating what's going on. This article is just kinda generall advice, as I see it To the perfectionists: wether it’s 67% or whatever isn’t the point, it’s just supposed to illustrate that you communicate more by bodylanguage than you’d think you do.
