How loud does your body language speak.......

I have just finished a very interesting book on body language called Brilliant Body Language by Max A Eggert.

The clue is in the title as to what the book is about.......Body Language. It certainly made me thik about what my body language is saying and giving away about me and what I am verbally saying and whether or not I am backing that up with my body.

For anybody in any work, social, relationship or friendship situation it is very important to make sure that your body mimics what the brain is saying.....

For example if you are proclaiming that a point you are verbally making is correct, but you are not making eye contact,you are blinking more rapidly than normal and are sweating, your body is saying the opposite.......an awareness of these simple habits that are indoctrinated in us allows you to add significant impact to your words.

In the line of work I am in where you have to be confident, assertive, determined, driven and focussed it is essential that I am aware that my body language is displying these traits.......hence the reason why the book was really insightful. I have discovered certain aspects of my body language that I wasn't projecting....this then has an impact on how my subconscious mind perceives the vision I have of me and these are then projected in my body language....

For example, I may well be saying that I am confident and determined, but the way I hold myself betrays my words.

Its simply about saying, behaving and acting like the person you are going to be and already are in the vision in your mind.

So, don't let your body language betray the words you are saying.......start acting and moving in a way that befits the person that you are.........start believing your own hype and the rest will follow.......

Quotes for the day..........

“The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!” Rocky Balboa

Not sure if I agree with his description of the world, but a great quote all the same……I also love the one below……


“On this team we tear ourselves and everyone else around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when add up all those inches, that's gonna make the fucking difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying! I'll tell you this, in any fight it's the guy whose willing to die whose gonna win that inch. And I know, if I'm gonna have any life anymore it's because I'm still willing to fight and die for that inch, because that's what living is, the six inches in front of your face. Now I can't make you do it. You've got to look at the guy next to you, look into his eyes. Now I think ya going to see a guy who will go that inch with you. Your gonna see a guy who will sacrifice himself for this team, because he knows when it comes down to it your gonna do the same for him. That's a team, gentlemen, and either, we heal, now, as a team, or we will die as individuals. That's football guys, that's all it is. Now, what are you gonna do?” Tony Damato, Any Given Sunday

For those of you that don’t know about American Football, every inch is critical in the game…….by the inch is a sinch, by the yard is hard…….
