Body language is actually the most effective way to convey a message to others. Of course, talking is easy and you can just say what you feel or what you want to. However, your body language may say otherwise.

As the famous quote goes, "Action speaks louder than words," body language signs affect communication to others tremendously. Surely it would be confusing if you say "no" to someone but you are nodding. Confusion will definitely arise if your words contradict your actions.

Simply put, body language is a form of communication that does not use words. Even though you don't say anything, your action can reveal so much, although there are several signs of body language that may be misunderstood. Either way, making use of your body language will absolutely help in getting your real message effectively.

How To / Instruction

Difficulty: Normal

  • Step

    1

    Be honest about what you say. Words can have that effect on us. When you're lying, it can be very demanding. Honesty affects our body language.

  • Step

    2

    Arms folded and legs crossed can be a great sign of disagreement. However, eye contact and wrists facing to the person whom you're talking to means that you're interested.

  • Step

    3

    If you speak to someone attractive, and they mimic your movements - yawning after you yawn, unconsciously touching their hair after you touch yours - you can be pretty sure that they're interested in you.

  • Step

    4

    To make sure that someone knows you hear them, put your arms down, don't fold them.

  • Step

    5

    Face the person. Don't yawn or slouch. To communicate confidence, stand and sit up straight. Always make eye contact at least every minute or so.

  • Step

    6

    On a date, smile and lean back a little, projecting comfort. When your date takes a sip of water, do the same from time to time. It allows the underlying emotional connection to happen, making the verbal communication much easier and clearer.

Tips and Warnings

  • Your confident body language shows personality and character. It pays to make use of your body language from time to time.

  • A person who doesn’t use proper body language when required will prove his lack of knowledge on the topic. And lack of confidence.

  • Feel good. It shows.
