Simple but deep TED talk on body language and how it shapes who you are. Starting with recognition or awareness that you are encountering a situation you want to transform, then an intention to change your body language (standing in a position of power for example for 2 minutes) that leads to chemical changes in your body (higher testosterone, lower cortisone for example), that allows your body to transform your mind and thus your reality. So awareness to intention through body language to transformation.
This seems like scientific backing for a practice Diamond Way Buddhist Lama Ole recommends: "behave like a Buddha until you become a Buddha. Be the best you can until it's second nature, and then act from there."
