Self Empowerment by recognizing and avoiding negative body language
signal
Our body language
mystically reveals far more information about our feeling than it is possible to convey verbally through conversation. All of the physical gestures we make are subconsciously interpreted by others and this can benefit or work against us depending on the kind of body language
signal we are transmitting to them. Some gestures cast a positive message, while others do nothing but send a negative signal. Let’s look at some of the common ones, recognize and avoid them.
1. Checking the time
Your watch might be nice but never look at your time during a conversation, because it gives a strong sign of boredom and lack of interest.
2. Leaning away from someone
Take note that leaning towards a person show your interest in her or the topic, while leaning away display a sign of boredom.
3. Crossing arms posture
It displays a sign arrogance and defensive action. Always try to keep your arms open at your side
4. Finger or toe tapping
It just indicates impatience, boredom or stress. If you are doing this action, you are giving out a signal of “Can’t you speak faster and end the conversation?”
5. Keep eye contact
During a conversation, always keep eye contact and never give people the impression that you are avoiding them. Try to look into the other party’s eye when you are listening, greeting or talking to them and NEVER stare.
6. Handshake does matter
Remember the handshake must be firm that display confidence, never give a weak one.
7. Leave the things alone in your pocket
Never play with the things in your pocket like coins or keys which can cause distraction to the other party.
8. Fake smile
Never give a fake smile, just smile naturally. But if you are a person that does not know how to smile, practice it. Fake smile will give people an impression of hypocritical and view you as an untrustworthy person
9. Speak with confidence
Speak clearly and don’t mumble as it shows lack of self confidence and avoiding to be heard.
10. Fidgeting
Moving or swaying your body un-necessarily will show that you are un-prepared and nervous. Also never fidget with objects like pen in your hand as it cause distraction.
11. Standing too close
Always keep a distance from the other party personal space, if you are standing too close, the other party might feel uncomfortable and threatened.
In conclusion, be careful of the body language signal being transmitted.
“Succeed does not come to you, you have to go to it” Using this philosophy, I decided to create this self help website to push myself to achieve self empowerment and also to motivate all of my friends out there who are reading and staying with me throughout this empowering journey.
More about me…I am born in the island of Millionaires, guess where? It is Singapore, just a little tiny ret dot in the world but had achieved incredible results in a short 30 years with the highest percentage of millionaires here. Do you want to be a Millionaire? “Of course!” is the reply of most people but how many people can achieve it? You might be telling yourself that all these millionaires are either born with a silver spoon in their month with wealthy parents or just that they are very lucky to be successful. “How lucky they are? How I wish I have what they I have?”
I can tell you here, “You are wrong!” How do you define luck? For me, I will define luck as “LUCK = OPPORTUNITY + ACTION”. So I will always bear this in mind and getting prepared for the opportunity and take massive action when it arises. This will be the mindset of the millionaire.
For me, I might not be a millionaire now, but working progressively towards this goal. “Dream big and take baby steps” is my strategy. My ultimate goal is to achieve personal growth and financial growth. With this strong desire in mind, I am taking action every day to empower myself to change my mindset from a victim to winner one.
Remember this in mind, “You will never FAIL unless you QUIT”.
Do join me in this enriching journey and empower yourself to achieve anything you want in life.
