Every minute of every day our bodies are talking. When we're finishing that last bit of work, when we're walking around our neighborhoods, moving about our grocery stores, at sporting events and movie theaters and shopping malls and stores, and interacting with a cashier at the drive-thru at McDonald's. Everywhere we go our bodies speak. From the way we tilt our heads, blink our eyes, touch our noses and move our mouths. Everything we don't say says something. In fact, studies show that the spoken word only comprises a fraction of total communication. The words that come from our mouths are only 7% of what we say. 55% is through body language and the other 38% comes through tone and speed of voice. Body language is the single most innate form of human communication and most of us never take the time to consider it. Like nearly all of our basic mammalian functions, body language originates in the limbic system. The basic role of the limbic system is to keep us alive and reproductive and it is through body language that this happens. Infant crying indicates that babies need food, water and protection. Arched eyebrows, full lips and erogenous contact indicate sexual arousal. Mechanisms for survival and pleasure. Ways to communicate when words fall short. In short, body language is the reason we continue to live. It is an indicator of our needs and wants, even a direct display of the relative health of our minds and bodies. And though we may consider it a phenomenon largely unconscious, it is well within our conscious power. What we fail to realize is incredible. If we can learn to control our body language and capitalize on the power of nonverbal communication, then we can learn to command our lives for the better. No matter your position or trajectory in life, whether you're a part-time worker, a careerist or currently unemployed, understanding body language is essential. By communicating the right signals to the right people, we literally dictate what they think and how they react. And when these everyday behavioral responses change, everything else is gravy. Think about it. If you want to show others that you are a powerful, confident individual, are you going to walk around with your shoulders hunched and your head low? Or are you going to keep your back straight, your head high and your fearless eyes focused to the task? Do you want to gain respect and admiration from those around you? Do you want to sink into obscurity like everybody else? Or do you want to be somebody? The choice is yours because, frankly, body language is yours. By consciously adopting the right body signals, movements and positions, we can maximize our opportunities for success. Whether that be success in the workplace, in the public sphere, in private matters, you name it. Throughout conscious application of body language, we become masters of the unconscious. And by making the right body language unconscious, we can influence others without them ever even knowing.
