How To Improve Your Face :-)
Author: fiona
Your face is usually what others see first of you. You may be wearing the most impeccable clothes, walk like Greta Garbo, study your every gesture - if your facial expression remains closed, if it’s vacant or if your mouth is pursed with tension, you will have no success attracting others.
So let’s spend a little time discussing the “mask” we present to the exterior world every day (did you know that the word “personality” comes from “persona,” which means mask!)

Author: fiona
If you want to acquire a magnetic personality, your movements must be elegant and balanced.
Let’s say you move a lot - you make sweeping, exaggerated ges¬tures. You have to learn to control them and limit them to some ex¬tent. Overwhelming and uncontrolled gestures generally indicate an extroverted, flamboyant character, which can become somewhat tiring to the people around you. If you fall into this category, learn to moderate your movements!
On the other hand, if you’re an introvert, you’re probably very stingy with your gestures. In this case, you have to learn to liberate your body to some extent. It’s like you’re wearing an emotional and physical straight jacket, which you must absolutely tear to shreds if you want to liberate the magnetism and personal charm that, at the moment, lies sleeping somewhere deep inside you.
Controlling your gestures automatically means controlling your emotions, because our movements are nothing more than a reflection of the way we feel.
Movements are the reflection of the way we feel. Become aware of your movements!
How to Improve Your Posture

“Stand up straight! You look like a saxophone! You’re going to get a hunch back!”
How many times have you heard these kinds of admonitions from parents and teachers when you were a child? At least once a day, I’m sure!
Their praiseworthy intention was to prevent us from developing a deformed spine or hunched shoulders. But bad posture can have other consequences which are just as harmful.
If you’ve developed the habit of bad posture, energy cannot cir¬culate properly to the various parts of your body, and the balance of your entire nervous system will suffer sooner or later.
Also, posture is one of the factors of non-verbal communication that you use when talking to other people. If you stand there rigidly looking like someone who’s just swallowed a broom, you’re going to put the other person on the defensive.
Improve Your Body Language

You are certainly aware that the body has its own language. You’ve know it since you were an adolescent, when just the way someone looked at you, or winked, or smiled or walked, indicated that they were interested in making contact.
When we want to convince someone, we tend to make more use of our bodies - nodding the head, speaking quickly, gesturing with hands and arms, etc.
