Most people underestimate the power of having good, upright posture. You might already know that people get a first impression of you within the first split second that they see you. This is a completely involuntary and subconscious reflex.

We all do it… you do it. You assess everyone you meet within the first moment of laying eyes on them. This all happens before you can even open your mouth and say a word…

So what is it that this other person is assessing?

Yes, you guessed correctly – your body language, or more simply put … your body posture.

Confident Posture

You can immediately tell someone’s frame of mind or emotional state by noticing his or her posture. If someone is feeling insecure or self-conscious it is very easy to notice by the slumping of their shoulders and the way they drop their chin and eye-line… even the way they walk or hold their hands can be a dead giveaway.

What comes to mind when you see someone walk assertively, shoulders back and chin up? Yes, you see confidence and poise, energy and spunk for life!

So which of these is the image you want to project?

What is the first impression you want to make?

Is it one of insecurity or an impression of poise, confidence and energy? Do you want to project that “special something” that is going to make people remember you long after you left the room?

With The Pizzazz Factor I show you how you can project this confident and self-assured image at all times. I show you how you can turn it on when you need it most, no matter how you feel. Even if you are feeling shy or insecure, by knowing how to use your posture and your body language you can make that unforgettable first impression, close that deal, win over his or her heart, leave someone else feeling special… all this is possible when you have the Pizzazz Factor.

Not only does a confident posture give you the power to leave a positive and lasting first impression but it also gives you more energy and often eliminates back and shoulder tension.

So don’t wait any longer – all it takes is a little guidance and some self-awareness and you can also have Pizzazz! Start today by being aware of your posture… straighten up… feel tall, feel confident!

Powerful Posture creates a Powerful Image

When you have the Pizzazz Factor it means you have that ‘Something Special’, a poise and charisma that draws people to you and that makes you absolutely captivating. It allows you to captivate the attention and imagination of every one you interact with.

There are many factors involved in having this kind of magnetic presence and of course I go into detail on all the aspects and principals of the Pizzazz Factor in my course that allows you to feel confident and radiate an energy that is positive, contagious and powerful. Let’s face it – a powerful and impeccable perfect posture creates an air of self-confidence that can create success on many levels.

One of the main aspects of projecting a Powerful Confidence and Positive Energy is your
posture.  Your posture says a lot about you as a person… Your posture does not only project your image and your mood, but can also greatly affect the way you feel.  Poor posture can cause you to feel tired, drained and lack-luster as well as cause unnecessary tension that often translates in headaches, shoulder and neck pain and also chronic lower back pain amongst other things. More pain creates worse posture and as your posture deteriorates the pain gets more intense, so it is a bad chain reaction:(

Ideal posture is when the body is totally aligned with gravity.  Now I am going to share with you how you can improve posture greatly.  I give you my favorite visualization and a few practical tips.  It is very helpful to use a full-length mirror when you assess your own posture and while working on improving posture.

Gain self confidence through improved posture

Gain self confidence through improved posture

Try this:

Imagine a velvet rope from the sky attached to the crown of your head, and you are suspended – hovering an inch above the ground – as if gravity doesn’t exist.  See your skeleton just gently and relaxed, hanging.
Now roll your shoulders back and down – don’t expand the ribs, just open your chest sideways and imagine your heart reaching out in front of you.

When facing the mirror, look at your belt line – it should be totally horizontal to the floor.  The same goes for when you are side on to the mirror.  If your belt is hanging down in the front and up in the back or vice versa, then you know your pelvis is tilted forward or backward.  Your beltline should be horizontal to the floor from every angle. Think of your tailbone reaching straight down towards the floor while still reaching tall trough the crown of your head.

Now become aware of your abdominals.  Think of drawing them in and up towards your spine.  Feel them lengthening from your pubic bone all the ways up to were they connect under the rib cage.  Make sure that the backs of your knees are lengthened but not locked.  Be aware of the bottoms of your feet.  Make sure you connect firmly to the floor with the big toe, little toe, the whole ball of the foot and the whole heel.  Not rolling the feet inward or outward.  Take a deep breath.

Now take a good look at yourself in the mirror – what do you see?  I bet you like it a whole lot.

In the Pizzazz Factor I take the time to go through all the aspects of correct posture one step at a time, and I also show you how you can use your positive body language to make great first impressions as well as be charismatic, likeable and attractive.

Enjoy your new image and keep at it!

P.S. This posture can become a habit.  Initially you might have to remind yourself constantly to stand up straight, pull in your tummy and pull your shoulders back and down, but after just a couple of weeks this will start feeling much more natural and habitual. In the Pizzazz Factor one whole DVD is devoted to helping you establish a Powerful, Confident Posture with some helpful and easy to do exercises.
