Body language can make or mar our communication as well as our relationship with others.We must pay special attention towards our gesture while speaking to others.
Here are some tips to improve our body language:
1. Eye Contact: Always look directly in his eyes when some body is speaking
to you. This may seem difficult at first but it's a body language ingredient to
make us successful when interacting with others. Do not ever stare at someone
because it is annoying.
2.
Stand Erect: Always stand up straight. It projects an image of someone who has
low self-est.
3.
Smile: Smiling is our most powerful body language signal. We should still make
an effort to appear happy and optimistic.
4. Avoid Repeated Gestures: When speaking to someone it's important to use body movements but never fast
and repetitive ones.
5. Maintain
Personal Space: We must maintain our own personal space and do not let them
walk all over us. Never invade someone else's personal space.
6.
Be Attentive: We must pay all full attention to the person we are speaking
with. Do not constantly look around as if we are uncomfortable or not interested.
7. Supporting Gestures: Our gestures must support our words. Some times
we unconsciously make gestures that are unsupportive to what we are saying. Make an effort to apply all seven of these tips and people will react
positively when we speak to them. "Simplicity, clarity, singleness: these
are the attributes that give our lives power and vividness and joy" - Richard
