I Speak Three Languages, Body, Spanish and English

Your body language just doesn’t just affect how other see you. It affects how you see yourself.

Small tweaks in your posture and appearance can mean big changes in your love life, your career, and your bank account.

Becoming more attractive is easier and less superficial than you think.

According to multiple studies, positive emotion expands your ability to deal with adversity and stress. It broadens your scope of thinking, meaning that you make better decisions after experiencing a boost of positive emotion.

You are also more likely to engage in healthy behaviors such as exercise. Those who experience more positive emotion over time are more likely to get promoted, obtain a raise, and find themselves in a strong , lasting marriage.

Understanding the power of your body language is about much more than controlling your image and how other people feel about you. It is also controlling how you feel about you and what you think. What you think is what you become.

Appearance is a language of its own. And like any other language, you must learn to speak it well in order to communicate successfully.

Our brains are always on the lookout for cues. Is this person trustworthy? Are they credible? Are they out to get me? Should I spend the finite amount of time I have on my calendar with them? Should I invest my resources here? To answer those questions, we must begin somewhere. And the easiest place to start is with what we see.

As much as we’d like to believe that looks don’t matter , they do. Putting effort into your appearance yields results that influence people’s decisions about you.

APPEARANCE CAN BUILD YOUR CREDIBILITY OR DISMANTLE IT.

When trying to influence others, consider whether your appearance builds a bridge to your goal or a detour from it.

What story your appearance tell about you? Since we are talking about how successful women speak differently, it is a reasonable question to ask: “What exactly does your appearance speak of you?”

Your appearance is a form of communication. So ask yourself. What does my appearance communicate to those around me, at work, in social settings, at church, and in my community? Is that the message I want to communicate, or is it time for some tweaks and changes?
