What is your body saying about you?

       Have you ever considered the importance of nonverbal communication? Many studies have been carried out in the past few decades regarding this subject, and it has become a major aspect of communication in politics and in the bussiness environment.

     The way you move your head, your hands, your eyes, even barely appreciable facial expressions, are just examples of telltale signs that will reveal the person in front of you sometimes more information than your actual words. Developing the technique to use body language in your favour takes time, but it will most certainly pay off.

     For example, your head can help you pace your speach, and tilting it slightly as you talk can make you look more confident in front of your audience and even gain credibility. Using your hands is key, as they are the best way to represent what you are saying. Gesticulating with them will draw people's attention towards you. You can also emphasize what you are saying by accompanying your words with your hands. But they can also indicate you are nervous or unconfortable if you seem like you don't know what to do with them or you are constantly touching your face or your hair.

      Your shoulders are very important too. We often judge someone's emotional state by the position of their shoulders. If they are curved forward, we might think that this person maybe is shy, or they're upset for some reason. Someone with their shoulders pushed back, raising the chest, usually is a demonstration of power or a high self confidence.

       Body posture and body language is very important, and even if it doesn't play a big role in our daily life, it is something you must take into consideration whenever you are facing an audience, or a job interview, or any other situation where you want your message to really reach your interlocutor.
