4 Tips to Improve Improve your Body Language

Do you even know that your body language tells so much about you? It gives out a vibe subconsciously which you just dont know. It's a reflection of your inner self, no matter how much effort you put in to hide it, it will show, unless you are a great actor. 

 

Often, you must have observed that when you are sad or angry, your tome is different,  even if you tell the other person or any of your closed one that you are not angry or sad , but they get to know and repeatedly tell you that you are , as your tone and your words are not matching. So, there are enough examples to this. Another example is when you are being interviewed by a hiring manager,  he tries to observe your body language through your eyes, gestures, hands etc and tries to match your words with them and that's how he gets to know if you are speaking the truth or not or you are right fit for the organization despite of you having a valuable related experience.  Body Language is an important part of non- verbal communication. 

 

 

 

1.  Walking - Straight Shoulder straight with chest out shows that you are confident. It also keeps your back healthy,  fit and fine. It is found and observed that people who walk with head down or looking down are shy and lack confidence. 

 

2.  Eye- Contact-  Maintaining eye contact when you talk to someone or even in a interview is again a good sign of being confident.  But make sure that you dont look deep in the eyes of a person and also, for a longer period, which might make the other person conscious or uncomfortable.  So, there is a difference between staring and maintaining eye contact. 

 

3.  Shaking hands- Often people dont know how to shake hands tightly or properly. Have you observed that some people hold your hand very tightly and some just touch it , not shaking it with a grip. So, here the first one might come across as an insecure or a dominating person as per psychology .He might even hurt the other person unknowingly.  And the latter here, shows a lack of confidence.  Well, the right way to shake hands is forming a nice grip but not very tightly.  Also, have you even felt or noticed, when you shake hands with someone,  you feel the warmth, this shows that the person is warm hearted and is empathetic.  And with some people you dont feel the same. See, your body tells so much about your inner self.

 

4.  Facial Expressions-  Your facial expression like smile, eyes tell so much about you. As it is very rightly said that eyes are the window to your heart and soul .You must have observed that people who are confident and have  a joyful nature always have a beautiful natural smile which generates a very warm, positive vibration and energy around.
