Ways to Improve Body Language

Synopsis

When you understand how to read people’s body language signs, you are certainly developing yourself as well. When you know what different signs mean, you are going to make sure that you do not give out any wrong signs.

You are going to use your body as a tool, which can tell people what you want them to know.

On many occasions, people have meant well, but because of wrong body signs, they have given out the wrong impressions. This has led to souring relationships, failed marriages, disagreements between friends and dead-ends in businesses. You do not want that to happen to you.

This chapter tells you about how you can use some body signs yourself so that you give out the right message.

Ways to Improve Body Language

Body language has sometimes been called the ‘Silent Language’. It is non-verbal communication that often says far more than words do. Most people these days have a fair idea of how to interpret body language or, at the very least, have some knowledge of the subject.

Being able to interpret another person’s body language can be useful or, in some cases, even vital. Yet it is one thing being able to read someone like a book, but how do you know that they are not doing exactly the same thing with you? Does your own body language sometimes not back up what you are saying? Or does it sometimes let you down?

There are ways in which you can improve your body language. You have to remember that most of the non-verbal signals that we give off are not done consciously. They are usually a subconscious reaction. So the very first step in improving body language is to become aware of what our body is doing.

Learning how to improve our body language can give us an advantage when speaking to superiors or subordinates, can help us with interviews and business deals, and can be very useful when dealing with members of the opposite sex.

Let us start from the top of the body and work our way down. When someone is talking to you, they are often looking for reassurances that you are actually listening to what they are saying. A slight nodding of your head will not only reassure the person that you are listening to them, but that you are also agreeing with what they are saying. This will put them at ease and they will often say more than they intended.
When you smile at someone, make sure that it is a genuine smile and not a forced one. A genuine smile will involve not only the mouth but the eyes as well. A genuine smile will put people at ease while a forced smile will make them wary.

When in a conversation with someone remember to look them in the eyes. Do remember, however, to look away every now and again. Staring at a person for too long will make you seem creepy and could intimidate them.

When you are speaking to people, especially a group of people then touches your chest with the palm of your hand. This signal indicates that you are being honest and open. When you are standing or walking, keep your shoulders back, chest out and back straight. This gives an impression of confidence, motivation, and strength. If you slouch your back and shoulders it gives the opposite signal and make you appear weak and unsure of yourself.

Standing with your feet apart, keeping them at a distance of more than shoulder width, chin up and your arms folding across your chest will give the impression that you are in control of things. It is a very dominant stance and portrays confidence.

If you are sitting and talking to someone make sure that your feet, or at least one foot, is pointing towards them. If your feet are pointing away from them it may give the impression that you want to leave.
