The one profession that combines walking & fashion to perfection is modeling. Models hold a special fascination for us because they know how to move. No matter what they’re wearing, they always look extraordinary. That’s why so many people want to be like them.
The fascination isn’t in the clothes they wear, but HOW they wear them.
This also means that YOU aren’t dependent on what clothes you wear, but that your charisma depends on HOW you carry yourself.
💡 Your charisma lies within you and is expressed through your posture.
💡 You can’t put it on.
💡 You can’t buy it.
💡 You can only practice it.
And that’s a good thing, because: you don’t have to buy anything new to be the best version of yourself and be charismatic…
Just try it yourself and practice the following exercise daily:
During the next 7 days, make yourself aware of your posture:
- when you stand at the crossroads, waiting for green light
- when you walk into a room and towards someone/something
If you feel your shoulders turning forward (see picture),
- take a conscious, deep breath and
- lift yourself up by that invisible thread that moves through your whole body, from your feet to the crown of your head and above
What for?
- you will notice that your mind follows your posture: you will raise your spirits if your raise your body
- you will become stronger and less susceptible against all kinds of external influences
- walking upright is nurturing a self-confident, self-aware mind, ready to make conscious decisions
You need this, if you want to have impact.
