Reading The Movements Of The Body For Success

The body is a temple. The body can speak, yet the words are more valuable. While, some people claim that the body speaks louder than words, the words can make a powerful statement. I spend countless of hours on the Internet and can decipher when a person is nice or when a person is a jerk. You can do this too once you learn a few skills in studying human behaviors, including words, body language, tone, culture and the like.

While I spent years studying the human race, including environment, animals, actions, words, meanings and more, it took a lot of effort, listening, hearing, observing and more to get the job done. Still, you can learn something if you are willing to listen, hear, observe and analyze.

Anyway, if you are searching to read body movements and its language while working toward success in public speaking, thus you will need to consider many details. The details will include how you perceive verses how other people perceive? Who you are speaking too? What is the purpose of your speech? What messages do you want to convey?

How do you perceive a man walking down the road with his hands in his pocket and his shoulders in a hunched posture? Do you perceive him as sad? Do you see this man as having problems? Well, first what is the season? Is it cold outside? Are the man's hands in his pocket because he is cold? Why is his shoulders hunched? Is it possible he has back problems? Men more so than women will slouch or hunch the back.

Did you know at what time a person is sitting that his/her resistance is lower than what it is if the person was standing or lying down? If a person is sitting down and his hands are cupped behind the head, while his legs are crossed over the other, it supposedly represents that the person is superior to others and confident. Is this true for you? If you are sitting in an interview the last thing you want to do is cup the hands behind the head. Why? It doesn't look proper. Yet, if you do not use this gesture in an interview and cross the legs over the others you are said to send a message, especially if you are thrusting the feet outward as you sit, sending a message that you are bored. You wouldn't want to sit with your feet thrusting outward, no more than you would sit with your hands cupped behind the head while at an interview.

Have you ever heard someone say, sit up proper? If so, then put this to use at the interview. Your posture can say something to someone as well as your hands, eyes, ears, nose, mouth, head, and the like.

If at an interview your head tilts it signifies that you are interested in what the person is saying to you. You can squint, the eyes and brows, along with tilting the head if you seem confused, which will alert the interviewer to explain.

You should avoid nail biting, fidgeting, and looking downward at the floor, and so on while joining an interview, public speech or the like. If you bite the nails it symbolizes that you are nervous and insecure according to theorists. If you look down at the floor while speaking, some people may think you are lying. This is not always the truth. Some person will often look down while speaking, since it helps them to think and it lets the listener know that something in the picture is just not right. Meaning, the listener may have misinterpreted the message, and the person offended will hold the head down in a gesture that I will straighten you out, but I do not wish to challenge you in an aggressive manner.

Now you can ask, how can you read the body movements to reach success?
