Your body sends a message to the audience on what to feel. When you are talking about something positive, make a lot of "up" gestures (e.g., raise your hands up, stand on tip-toe, etc.), when you are talking about something negative, make a lot of "down" gestures (e.g., droop your body, bend down on your knees, etc.)
Up the down staircase,
