Your body and your mind, forever entwined

 

A happy mind is a happy body.

 

Well, not always, but it helps.

 

In an article published by Forbes, positive body language is addressed as a way to make everything — seriously, all of the things — better.

 

How? Why?

 

Positive body language changes your attitude. It makes you look and feel more confident and in-charge.

 

It communicates your emotional intelligence by showing that you can read the room, so to speak, and reflect your attitude outwards.

 

It makes you more likable, by putting you – literally – in a position that’s more friendly and open.

 

Taking small changes into account — standing with your chest open, holding your head up while you walk — can make you a different person. It starts with awareness.

 

They say that if you fake a smile for long enough, eventually it becomes real. I don’t know if it’s true, but it’s worth a shot.
