WHY?

Increase your attractiveness -
A better posture, a more open body language, a more controlled and focused body language will make everyone more attractive - relationship, job, friends.

Reduce Mixed Messages -
What you want is be congruent, that is for your words, your voice and your body language to say the same thing.

Emotions are linked to your body language -
Emotions work backwards too. If you feel good you’ll smile. If you force yourself to smile you’ll feel good too.
If you feel tired or down you might sit slumped down. If you sit slumped down you’ll feel more tired and negative.

Improve your communication skills -
If you improve your body language you can get your thoughts across in a more effective way. You can create a connection to another person more easily.

Better first impressions -
Having a better body language will consistently give people a more positive mental snapshot of you.
