Body language is a powerful tool that can greatly impact your self-confidence and overall sense of self-worth. The way you hold yourself, the gestures you make, and even the expressions on your face can all convey a message to those around us.

And, even more importantly, they can also affect how you feel about yourself.

One of the most obvious ways that body language can impact your self-confidence is through your posture. Standing tall with your shoulders back and your head held high while breathing deeply can make you feel more powerful and in control.

On the other hand, slouching or hunching over with shallow breath can make you feel insecure and less confident. By paying attention to your posture and making a conscious effort to stand tall, you can boost your self-confidence and feel more self-assured in any situation.

Another way that body language can impact self-confidence is through your facial expressions. A smile, for example, can instantly lift your mood and make you feel more positive.

Similarly, a frown or a scowl can make you feel negative and bring down your self-confidence. By being mindful of your facial expressions and making an effort to smile more often, you can improve your self-confidence and feel more positive about yourself.

Hand gestures and other physical movements can also impact your self-confidence. For example, making expansive gestures with your hands can make you feel more powerful and confident, while fidgeting or playing with your hands can make you feel nervous and insecure.

By becoming more aware of your body language and practicing more confident gestures and movements, you can improve your self-confidence and feel better about yourself.

The significance of body language in terms of communicating with others is demonstrated by research that has indicated that, in many situations:
55% of the communication is expressed through facial expression;
38% of communication is expressed through tonality;
7% of communication is expressed through the words that are used.

So, if you have found your self-confidence dipping a little, it’s important to remember that body language plays a vital role in shaping our self-confidence and overall sense of self-worth. By paying attention to your posture, facial expressions, hand gestures, and other physical movements, you can improve your self-confidence and feel more positive about yourself.

Remember, the way you carry yourself can make all the difference in how you feel and how others perceive you.

Is a lack of confidence keeping you stuck?

Leigh D Wilson November 3, 2023

Is a lack of confidence keeping you stuck, putting a ceiling on your career?

In the early parts of our career, we are often working alone or in very small groups doing our thing and so confidence doesn’t really loom as a significant matter.

But as we rise up through the ranks, we can be called upon to speak up at larger meetings, address big events, have difficult conversations with clients or customers etc.

Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall

Is self-doubt keeping you stuck?

Leigh D Wilson October 24, 2023

Self-doubt can feel like a quiet but impassable roadblock, often appearing when as we consider new ventures or stepping outside familiar boundaries. It’s like a voice whispering, “Maybe this isn’t for you,” or “What if you fail?” This doubt makes us feel stuck, like we’re standing at the edge of new possibilities but held back by invisible chains. It’s a frustrating weight, filled with fear and uncertainty.

Perhaps surprisingly, a small dose of stress can be beneficial; it helps you grow and become more resilient.
