Importance of Body Language in Personality Development

Body language is defined as a non-verbal form of communication showed through facial expressions, gestures, posture, and body movements which says a lot about one's personality. To achieve an effective personality, you need to improve your body language. Although speaking is enough to express feelings and thoughts to someone but it's not the way of completely expressing the feeling and thoughts. without using proper body language, you cannot express feelings in a understandable way. For example if you are saying “Hello” to some one, there will be a chances of two ways that is either you are saying in positive way or in a negative way. This makes the difference in one person to another person.

To improve your body language there are many ways but the thing is it needs practice and consistency so that it will become part of you, and not just something you can do for a certain period of time.

  • Suppose you are frowning, then it indicates that you are not at all interested in speaking with them and this will push others away. If you smile, then others will attracts and happy to see you.
  • Posture is also very important. A proper posture in leaning towards the speaker will show that you are interested.
