 What's up guys Isaac here and today I want to talk about how you can develop your posture Ultimately improving your body language. We get a lot of requests from a lot of guys asking How can I get more charismatic more confident body language? And I always tell him the same thing you need to start off with your posture because that's the foundation, right? Once you have the foundation right once you have a good foundation You add different layers and ultimately become the best version of yourself become the most charismatic version of yourself, right? So why would we want to improve our body language anyway a little bit of background into this? What you have to understand is when you're having a conversation with someone you're talking to a girl when you're talking to a group of guys or whoever it may be What's being conveyed more than your actual speaking more than your actual language is your body language your Subcommunication your facial expressions or these small nuanced things that we don't really think about that usually operate on the subconscious level and The reason for this is because the part of the brain that's used to Interpret language is more recently developed in the part of the brain that picks up on body language and subcommunication Evidence of this is how long does it take a kid to learn how to speak a language? By the time you're maybe age five you could probably learn how to speak a language proficiently right with some degree of proficiency however How long does it care take a kid to be able to understand the angry facial expression or to understand what someone said doesn't take long, right? You can pick up on it and no one teaches you these things. It's because it's deeply ingrained in us So if you can master your body language, you're tapping into something that's deeper than just what you're saying and people will be able to Associate you with associate you with those positive characteristics that you want the confidence in that demeanor Okay, so what is good posture? A lot of us have bad posture, right? We're in the office typing like this shoulders wrong forward hunching playing video games of this watching Our favorite TV shows like that right like this Shoulders were forward kind of lazy Communicating weakness and all these things we don't want to communicate with us So good posture is a way you can envision is there's a few things you can do One of the things I like to do is I like to retract my scapula like this So you pull your shoulders up and then retract them back and you should feel a little bit of tension in your back You should feel like a little bit of a Tension you up back and that means you're doing it, right? so that's the first step retract your scapula like that get your chest out and Another cue that I use is when I'm talking to someone right? I envision that there's like a line coming from my chin if there's a line that's coming from my chin That's gone straight out is not Perfectly horizontal or at least close to horizontal Then my body language is poor which means if the lines pointing down at the person like that like laser beam, right? I've got bad body language on means the shoulders are rolled forward and I'm not in the right stance Another way you can envision it is you can try imagine that you're like a puppet and there's like a string That's being pulled from your forehead from your the top of your head. I mean and it's taught So how would you behave you stand upright, right? So that's good posture It's not that hard to do but the hard thing is maintaining it because we've been Used to the bad posture. We've been used to sitting with bad posture and not being aware of it So you need to bring some awareness to your life and the way you can do this where you can bring awareness to your posture Now I learned this tip from Scott Herman Fitness is to use an alarm, right? Use the time on your phone You're only going to do this for preliminary stages and two is second nature to you so every 30 minutes, right? Get your phone to ring get your phone to ring and check if your posture is right so if you set your alarm and the phone rings and you realize that your shoulders are rolled forward and Now your chin's down your bag is hunched all those things that we said I'm good by language good posture Go back to that stance remember those cues.
