Change Your Mood from Body Language!
People often say that life is a mirror you laugh it laugh, you cry it cry, that is an attitude toward life, there are some things you can do to make yourself feel happier utilizing your body language.when we are depressed or upset there are certain things that we do with our body language that signifies that fact. We may not be aware we are even doing it! But the truth is.If you are portraying an upset person then you will feel like an upset person.
A good example is faking sick. I used to pretend to be sick to get out of work by slumping my shoulders, rubbing my stomach, rubbing my head and appearing to be miserable. It wasn't long that I got to go home from work, but it also wasn't long till I started getting a headache and actually feel sick! That's the power that your body language has. You are not only telling the world how you feel but you are telling yourself how you feel.
Knowing this simple little truth about body language you can make other people view you how you want and make yourself feel better instantly if you want to. You just have to assume the position!
First notice how you are sitting. If you are slumped over with your shoulders forward and your head hanging down then you will appear to be in some sort of negative mood. It could be sad, tired, or depressed. And chances are if you are sitting or standing slumped over you will feel that way as well. So fix your body position.
Straighten up and pull you shoulders back. Put your head up high to convey a message of feeling good and confident about yourself. You will soon notice yourself feeling happier just from this one body fix.
The next step in appearing and feeling happier is taking note of your facial expressions. Paying attention to your facial expressions is important because even if your body is speaking of confidence, certain facial expressions can make you seem egotistical or angry.
Is your mouth tight and scowling or is it relaxed and smiling? Are your eyes scrunched up and judgmental looking or are they relaxed and approving. Are you eyebrows raised in a disapproving look or are they relaxed? The thing to take note of here is the feeling of relaxed. Any tight, pulled back expression will send a message contrary to happiness.
Life is not static dull and boring, you do not have to unease and anxiety stretch maintain an optimistic attitude, your body language.
