Dare to Self Improve

So now that you’ve got the smile down, it’s time to work on your body language.

One of the things that makes someone approachable is having confident body language! If you walking around with your shoulders drooped forward, your chest tucked in, head down, and feet close together, no one is going to feel open to talking to you! Furthermore, you won’t be in a position to see anybody else!

Lets suppose you’ve been doing the smiling exercise. That’s the first step, but it’s time to make the rest of your body congruent with your new confident smile! How do we do this?

1. Stand with your back straight. You want to have good posture and appear as tall as possible.

2. Keep your shoulders back and chest out! This is part of good posture and it makes you appear healthy and confident.

3. Keep your eyes and head up! Don’t look down or constantly glance around. Make strong friendly eye contact with passer-by’s.

4. Take your hands out of your pockets. You want to take up space and hold your hands confidently to your sides.

Changing a simple thing like the way you stand, will make people have a whole new positive first impression of you!
