Communicating without words - how we use body language in a targeted way

The impact of body language is underestimated by many people. We show you how you can influence your own mood with small gestures. The interesting thing is that as soon as you adopt a different posture, those around you will react to you in a completely different way. Because: body language means communication. So let your body do the talking!

Attractiveness

Fancy some nice compliments? A slightly hollow back not only makes you feel more attractive - it also makes you look more attractive to others. Just give it a try!

Strength

Imagine you've just reached the finish line first: you're the winner, yeah! If you strike the pose shown in the photo, nobody will be able to do anything to you. Because you immediately feel strong, courageous and unbeatable. A great exercise, especially when tricky conversations come up.

Self-confidence

With your hands on your hips, you feel confident and keep any doubts at bay. If you look directly at the person you are talking to and raise your chin slightly, this will enhance the effect even more. This is great to practise in front of a mirror.

Determination

When shaking hands, grasp them firmly (not too forcefully, of course), give them a quick shake and hold them briefly - this shows that you have things under control and won't be put off by others.

Relaxation

Stress and tension at work? Try taking it easy: lean back, fold your arms loosely behind your head and cross your feet. Take a few deep breaths. This will give you new strength and energy, make you feel refreshed and ready for new tasks - it also works at home.

Charisma

"Wow, she's really likeable!" That's what many people are sure to think when they see you in this pose. The upright, yet relaxed and relaxed posture means that you immediately score points with others. You look open and in a good mood - and feel that way too. So remind yourself as often as possible to make yourself look tall, raise your head and smile. Want to bet that this will create more moments of happiness in your everyday life?
