How can kinetics help you present yourself to the world better? Practical advice and self-discovery tasks

In the previous column, we touched upon the meanings, goals, and possibilities that open up for anyone who masters kinetic images - their body movements. Remember that this is the oldest language of humanity and the language that is read the fastest!

In future articles, we will analyze specific life cases that can help achieve desired goals or express oneself more.

Today, I want to delve into some fundamentals that shape the kinetics of every person.

Take a close look at this image and answer the question: Which of the silhouettes depicted here is the most attractive, evoking a desire to get to know and learn more about them? Which image exudes more confidence, energy, instills greater trust, and garners favor?

Now, ask yourself: Which of them do I resemble more often? Could you recognize aspects of your body language in one of these images? What does this mean to you?

It's great when you convey the silhouette of a confidently assured person. But what if you don't?

Most of the time, from early childhood, we unconsciously adopt behavioral patterns that our close ones or authoritative figures around us transmit, and we carry them into the world throughout our lives!

Where should you start to bring about changes? By noticing. Start by seeing yourself, your posture, and your movements, even if it's just a matter of liking or disliking them. Does this help you or hinder you in life?

If you look at the image below, you'll see kinetics expressed through age. Take a look...

And now, when you see an adult in a child's pose (head held excessively high, clenched fists...), it's still an adult in front of you! Imagine they've come for an interview, for example. Does this person inspire trust and suitability for the position they're applying for? Does their body language convey readiness to take responsibility within their declared competencies? Would you hire them as an employee? Entrust them with important tasks?

Or maybe you would prefer someone who conveys the silhouette of an elderly person? How do you feel about such an employee? They may have experience, but do they have the strength to handle the responsibilities assigned to them? Are they already carrying a heavy burden, and do they have the capacity for your work tasks? Even if they're in their twenties.

I believe you feel that's not the case.

Among our subordinates, we want to see someone who confidently and boldly, knowing their business, takes on their duties, someone filled with energy and strength, contributing to the collective success. And as you probably guessed, only one silhouette can confidently convey this - the one in the middle.

How can you make sure you have that silhouette?

To begin with, perform a simple action - record on your device how you open the door to a room (or office) and step inside. Watch the video and note what you see. What impression does this person give you? What is their body saying, their silhouette, their movements? How old do they appear, not by their ID, but by their body language?

You will discover for yourself what you should primarily work on. Where to direct the vector of your attention.

The body's verticality, our axis, in other words, if it has deviations, especially in the upper part of the body, it either adds years to us or greatly diminishes them, almost to childhood. When we walk, maybe we shuffle, or our steps are weak and seemingly childishly unsure, or do we walk deliberately, steadily, and calmly, asserting our confidence?

We'll discuss supports and the minimum necessary to build them next time. But for now, let's start getting acquainted with our bodies and discussing their language.

If you wish, write down what you see in your video in the comments on my Instagram. Tell me, who walked through that door?
