3 Body Language Moves to SKYROCKET Confidence

3 Body Language Moves to SKYROCKET Confidence

 

The body can be your best friend or worst enemy.

 

The body often becomes an enemy when you have no clue it is capable of being a friend.

That’s when it starts slouching, feeling heavy & walking without purpose.

 

However, if you realize that your body is a tool…

Then you’ll realize all tools are meant to be used with intention.

 

In this article, I’m going to give you 3 body language moves to build confidence.

This is a primal way to build confidence.

No narcotics or supplements needed.

 

Poor Body Language Moves

 

Before talking about the good parts, let’s talk about the bad parts.

What is poor body language?

 

Poor body language moves make you look smaller.

There are some 5 foot 2 people who walk BIGGER than someone who is 6 foot 2.

 

It’s because the 6 foot 2 person is slouching.

Chin is heavy & drooping.

Shoulders are scrunched.

They are looking at the floor while walking.

All poor body language moves.

 

When you look at this 6 foot 2 person, does it look like they have somewhere to go?

Or does it look like they are dreading to go wherever they are headed?

Often, it will be the latter when we look at poor body language moves.

 

Walk like you’re about to pick up a billionaire dollar check.

Automaticity, there is a purpose in your strides & fire behind your eyes.

 

How to Leverage Your Body

 

To leverage your body, there are some hot spots we can use for instant confidence.

These 3 moves are sensitive to changing our mindset.

Allow us to go through each of them and I will explain my logic for each body language move.

 

Smirk

 

The smirk often gets a bad rep.

It’s seen as an arrogant move.

However, I disagree.

 

Crossing your arms across your chest is seen as a ‘defensive’ move.

For some people, it may be.

However, you’ll also notice a lot of powerful people crossing their arms.

Therefore, this move is open to interpretation.

 

Likewise, the smirk is not only for arrogance.

Instead, a lot of times, it implies cool, calm, and composed.

 

The smirk is a subtle version of the smile.

You may not always have the need for a blatant move like the smile.

However, a light smirk is often appropriate because it looks like your default facial gesture.

 

Also, a smirk releases endorphins in your brain.

Endorphins are ‘feel-good’ chemicals that allow you to feel empowered.

 

Try it out:

Smirk.

 

Feel that?

Much better, right?

 

Raised Chin

 

A raised chin automatically brings you back to the present moment.

Let’s go through an experiment.

 

First, have a droopy chin.

How do you feel?

‘I feel mopey and unconfident.’

Now gradually raise your chin.

How do you feel?

‘I feel calm & more present.’

 

Present. 

That word is key.

 

A raised chin brings you back to the present moment which leads to calmness.

Heck, you can combine a raised chin with a smirk for even more confidence.

 

Try both moves out for yourself.

You’ll feel a tingling sensation in your heart.

 

Squinted Eyes

 

‘Armani, why does eye contact feel so difficult?’

It’s because with eye contact, you feel like your WHOLE body is being watched.

 

Eye contact makes you feel like you are under a microscope.

And if you are already feeling unconfident, then the spotlight will make matters worse.

 

Gently squinting the eyes fool you into thinking that your whole body is not being watched.

It feels like you have a shield when you squint the eyes.

Try it out real quick.

You’ll notice you feel sensations around the rest of the body as if a force field is being activated.

 

Not only do you feel better, but the person you’re speaking to enjoys it as well.

Some people have creepy eye contact.

Wide-eyed & stalker vibes.

A gentle eye squint creates a chill vibe which builds rapport.

 

Bonus Move: Stand Up Straight

 

The good ole posture never fails.

Posture is a superpower.

Stand up straight.

 

‘I find it difficult to stand up straight, any tips?’

Yes.

Get a textbook, put it on your head & try to walk with it.

 

In the beginning, the book may slide off your head.

Over time, you’ll build micro muscles to help balance the book.

Walking with a solid posture will eventually be autopilot.

Confidence will eventually be autopilot as well.

 

Practicing Body Language Moves

 

‘These moves are great, but how do I practice them?’

I recommend gradually incorporating one of these moves into your life.

No need to overwhelm yourself and do them all at once.

 

Let’s say you’re having a conversation and feel nervous.

Well, gradually squint your eyes more.

 

Let’s say there is a group of people telling you a story and you feel anxious.

Well, gradually fix your posture.

 

Feeling nervous before a speech?

Gradually raise your chin and bring yourself back to the present.

 

Notice what all these sentences have in common.

GRADUALLY.

 

Avoid jerky movements.

Jerkiness shocks the subconscious mind & creates weird vibes for the person you are interacting with.

 

While gradual movements ease you into a new mode of thinking over time.

Others will appreciate you for it.

 

Leveraging Body Language Moves to Build Confidence

 

Confidence is earned through pain, vision & building something valuable.

But there are small cheat codes that will make your journey much easier.

Body language is one of those cheat codes.

 

The body is a tool that will aid you or destruct you.

 

Use the smirk, squinted eyes & raised chin to feel more confident than ever.

Practice building a great posture too.

 

Driving was once difficult.

It felt like there were too many moves to do at once.

Nowadays, you do all the moves at once without a second thought.

 

Your body is a vehicle with the same capabilities.

Incorporate a few of these powerful body language moves & you’ll eventually feel confident on autopilot!
