The Power of Body Language - Part 1

You'll definitely notice a whole new reaction from people if you unleash the power of body language. Everyone communicates non verbally even without having to think about it.


If you want to have a powerful edge in life, you need to convey the proper body language signs, with or without having to say anything else. Here's how to use the power of body language.


The Approach


First & foremost, you need to establish territory to utilize the power of body language. You're responsible & confident for anything you are about to do or say during the expected conversation.


Spread your feet without your knees completely locking out. Relax your shoulders, keep your hands at your sides (never inside your pockets) & breathe carefully. Assume an open posture & have a warm, welcoming facial expression as if you look forward to communicating. Depending on the situation, you may smile when appropriate.


Using the Power of Body Language When Conversing


Face the other person or your audience squarely & maintain eye contact as much as possible throughout the conversation. Nodding, arching your eyebrows & tilting your head closer, shows that you are listening.


Do not fold your arms, look down at the floor or put your hands in your pockets. These can subliminally show that you are not interested.


If you have any comments, you can show it in negative but respectful ways like raising your eyebrows, pressing your lips together & raising your palm up front as if telling the person to pause.
