Perfect posture will add to your confident appearance more than any other contributing factor. Here are some of the benefits of perfect posture:

1. Proper posture builds good health by allowing the inner organs to function properly.
2. Speech is improved by giving more power to your voice through correct position of the diaphragm.
3. Body alignment gives a more youthful appearance.
4. Clothes will hang better.
5. Tension is reduced through proper alignment, which reduces fatigue, resulting in a more relaxed
appearance.

Your body language – the way you look and move, your facial expressions – they’re often instant messaging of what’s on your mind and how you feel about yourself. For example: When you stand with your arms crossed you are presenting a “closed body.” You are telling people around you that you are resisting what’s going on. You want an “open body” posture where your arms are down by your side. Then you are “open” for anything and are listening to what is being said. This projects self-confidence. What does your body language reveal about you?
