Here are 7 Body Language Tips that will help you when

you’re interacting. Leave a lasting positive impression.

1. Always look at someone directly in their eyes when they are speaking to you.
This may seem difficult at first but it’s definitely the #1 body language ingredient to
make you successful when interacting with others.

Note: Do not ever stare at someone.

2. Always stand up straight. You never want to slouch. Not only does this make you
appear shorter but it projects an image of someone who has low self-esteem.

3. Smile. Smiling is your most powerful body language signal. Though it is not
recommended to smile constantly (people will be under the impression you are
searching for approval), you should still make an effort to appear happy and
optimistic.

4. Do not make repeated, nervous like gestures. When speaking to someone it’s
important to use body movements but never fast and repetitive ones (picture
someone who is nervous while public speaking; this is exactly what you're NOT
aiming for).

5. Create your own personal space. Make sure you let others know you have your own
personal space and do not let them walk all over you. Note: you never want to invade
someone else’s personal space.

6. Dedicate all of your attention to the person you are speaking with. Do not
constantly look around as if you are uncomfortable or not interested.

7. Make sure to emphasize all of these tips when you meet someone new. First
impressions count for a lot. You want to make the best impression you can.

TIP # 1
"MAKING EYE CONTACT"

Making eye contact is one of the most important aspects of how we communicate
and is critical in making the right impression when we meet people for the very first
time.
Believe it or not, we establish our first impressions of others within the first few
seconds of meeting.
Maintaining good eye contact shows respect and interest in what they have to say.

Normally, we tend to maintain eye contact for around 60-70% of the time. Any
longer and you run the risk of making the other person feel self conscious or
uncomfortable.
To little and you may be perceived as avoiding eye contact.

You want to convey a feeling of comfort and genuine warmth in your company, any
more eye contact than this and you can be perceived as too intense, any less and you
give off a sense of disinterest in them or what they have to say.

Please keep in mind that these rules can change depending on where you are in the
world and the wide variety of cultural differences that exist.

It's important to be respectful of where you are and make the necessary adjustment
to harmonize your body language & behavior to different environments.

TIP # 2

"Improving Posture"
Improving posture can have a significant impact on how you feel. Look at your
posture as a subconscious reflection of your how you really feel. Next time you notice
you're feeling a bit down or low, take a look at how your standing or sitting. Chances
are you'll be slouched over with your shoulders drooping down and inward. This
collapses the chest and inhibits good breathing, which in turn can help make you feel
nervous or uncomfortable.

Then, make the corrections to display a confident and good posture. You'll notice a
positive change in how you feel and how people react and respond to you.

TIP # 3

"Head Position"
Learning how to position your head when interacting with others can be a
tremendous tool to have. It can have a huge impact on your perception from others
and depending on the message that you wish to convey, can be a very effective and
versatile resource to have.

When you want to feel confident and self assured keep your head level both
horizontally and vertically. You can also use this straight head position when you
want to be authoritative and what you're saying to be taken seriously.
Conversely, when you want to be friendly and in the listening, receptive mode, tilt
your head just a little to one side or other. You can shift the tilt from left to right at
different points in the conversation. This listening skill shows respect and interest.
TIP # 4

"Arms Position"
Your arms are a direct indication of how open and receptive we are to everyone we
meet and interact with, It's important to keep your arms out to the side of your body
or behind your back. This displays a sense that you are not fearful and are
comfortable and confident with your surroundings or situation.

The more outgoing you are as a person, the more you tend to use big movements
with your arms. The quieter you are the less you tend to move your arms away from
your body.

Strive to keep your movements somewhere in between the two. This projects you in
the best possible light.

Avoid crossing arms. This makes you unapproachable and conveys a host of
negative behavior that you certainly don't want associated with you.

On the other hand, if you want to use this tactic to shut someone out, ( I confess, I've
used it before), It's a subtle discreet way to do it.

TIP # 5

"Legs Position"
Your legs are the hardest parts of our bodies to consciously control. It's also no
accident that they're the furthest away from our brain They tend move around a lot
more than normal when we are nervous, stressed or being deceptive.

Try your best to quiet your body and keep your legs as still as possible in most
situations, especially at interviews or work meetings.

Be conscious and careful how you're crossing your legs. Should you cross at the
knees, ankles or bring your leg up to rest on the knee of the other? This is more so a
question of your own personal comfort than anything else.

Be mindful that the last position mentioned is known as the "Figure Four" and is
generally perceived as the most defensive leg cross.

The legs are a great way to measure deception or if someone is lying to you because
they're the hardest to control.

Having the ability to interpret lies is a valuable asset to have. By nature, we're not
very capable at recognizing a lie from the truth.
Scientific research in human behavior tells us that the average person has as much
success at detecting lies as chance, about 50%.

We're far better at detecting whether someone is telling the truth at 67%.

Included in your Body Language Mastering Series is "Tell Tale Signs of a Liar".

After you read and apply what's inside this report you'll be leaps and bounds ahead
of most people.

It's all based on in depth Scientific Study in the field of Human Behavior.

There's no fluff. It's straight to the point in very easy to understand terms.

Many of these techniques are used by high level government and law enforcement
officials. There is just nothing out there like it that unveils all these well guarded
secrets.

TIP # 6

"Angle of Your Body Position"

The angle of the body in relation to others gives an indication of our attitudes and
feelings towards them. We tend to angle toward people we find attractive, friendly
and interesting and angle ourselves away from those we don't, it's that simple! Angles
includes leaning in or away from people, as we often just tilt from the pelvis and lean
sideways to someone to share in a conversation.
TIP # 7

"Hand Gestures"
Hand gesture meanings are so numerous it's hard to give a brief guide but here
goes. Palms slightly up and outward is seen as open and friendly. Palm down
gestures are generally seen as dominant, emphasizing and possibly aggressive,
especially when there is no movement or bending between the wrist and the forearm.

This palm up, palm down is very important when it relates to the handshake. We
suggest you always offer a handshake upright and vertical, which will convey
equality.
TIP

Proxemics

"Proper Distance"
Distance from others is crucial if you want to give off the right signals. Stand too
close and you'll be marked as "Pushy" or "In your face". Stand or sit too far away and
you'll be "Keeping your distance" or "Stand offish".
Neither are what you want, so observe if in a group situation how close you are
standing to the other people in the room. Also notice if you move closer to someone
and they back away you're probably just a tiny bit too much in their personal space,
their comfort zone. It's a strong indication you're too close and should back off
a bit.
TIP # 9

"Your Ears"
Your ears play a vital role in communication with others. You've got two ears and
only one mouth, so try to use them in that order. If you listen twice as much as you
talk you come across as a good communicator who knows how to strike up a
balanced conversation.

Let people speak and tell their story. Often times we create tension by trying to
dominate the conversation and instead of listening, we end up focusing on what we
want to say next when there's a break or an opportunity for you to jump in.

TIP # 10

"Your Mouth"
Mouth movements can give away a host of clues. We purse our lips and sometimes
twist them to the side when we're thinking.

We might also use this movement to hold back or conceal feelings of anger.

To go through all the various mouth movements and what they mean would be quite
extensive.
