The Relationship Of Self Esteem And Body Language
What you do actually reflects your own personality and that is the relationship of self esteem and body language. That is why people around you can easily make initial impressions about you because by just seeing your actions, they can already tell the person that you are.
Well maybe for some who do not really know you, first impressions may work. But for those who truly know you, there is no doubt that with the actions that you do, they are the ones who can tell what kind of person you are just by your body language. Self Esteem and body language has a direct relationship to each other. Here are some of the relationships of self esteem and body language in terms of the different body parts.
The Face—Mirror Of Our Emotions
When you feel good about what you do, there is no reason for you to feel tensed. Usually, being tensed makes you feel that you are not that capable of what you do and being tensed is easily reflected in your emotions with which your face makes it visible for other people to see. When you are tensed, keep a smile on your face. That will break the ice.
The Eyes—Where Our Feelings Show
The eyes show what we truly feel and what we go through. They say it’s the window to our soul and truly it is. That is why, when faced with fear or aggression, be at ease and still feel confident by doing eye contact with people. It is the key to make them feel that you are not at any rate affected by the fear that you are going through and it helps overcoming that fear as well.
The Hands—Expressive Communication
One of the most expressive forms of communication is done by the hands. When you are doing too many gestures, it shows that you are one nervous person and that means you are not confident about yourself. A moderate amount of hand gestures will do. Say if you’re stressing a point, do not overdo it by doing so much hand movements instead take a deep breath and relax a bit otherwise it will only make you more nervous and less confident about yourself.
Posture—How You Carry Yourself
The way you actually carry yourself conveys a lot about you and yes, it is the most evident way of proving that self esteem and body language are definitely related to each other. It tells how much confidence you have on yourself. With low self esteem, we tend to lose good posture and our head slumps. Having a relaxed body language is the best way to cope up with carrying the right posture especially when exuding self confidence.
Self esteem and body language is interrelated that is why you have to know how to act so that you will be able to increase that level of confidence in yourself.
