Hey Stylizers… thought you might get a kick out of this. Cheers Rono
Body Language: What does your body say about you?
The Five Languages of Confidence:#1 Body Language
The language of the body is the key that can unlock the soul. Konstantin Stanislavsky
One of the amazing and slightly cautionary realities is when communicating with another person – body language accounts for more than 55% of communication! Only 7% is communicated by the words being used and 38% comes from the tone of the voice. Wow!
So how can you tell what the other person is really thinking and how can you be sure you are communicating the right message?
In life, in business, in relationships Body Language is the method of communicating, which we respond to emotionally, intellectually and spiritually.
Fortunately Ronald K. Smith, “Rono,” one of the four principles partners of LifeStylized, Saratoga, has combined his knowledge, his experience and his unique skills to create a powerful program called, “Poised and Profitable.” This program specifically for women is built around what he describes as the Five Languages of Confidence.
These are:
- Body Language
- Face Language
- Image Language
- Voice Language
- Mind Language
This extraordinary program, will positively transform your life, instill great confidence and provide you with the tools to excel in whatever endeavor you are focused upon. More on the free events, free videos and the workshop later.
So why begin with Body Language? Simply because as soon as people see you they begin interpreting who you are, what you stand for and if they like you or not.
Did you realize that in a brief glance, lasting less than 5 seconds, is all it takes for people to form a strong opinion about who you are based upon your posture, your appearance, your dress, your body language, your demeanor and your mannerisms?
5 seconds!
So the question is what image do you want to project and how important is it to you to turn the tables and figure out how the other person is reacting, feeling and responding to you?
Of course – effective body language is vital for success in any field and particularly in relationships.
Rono will teach you all of this and so much more. Here are 10 Body Language Tips you can apply for success in meeting people…
- Walk forward with an upright stance
- Focus on the person with enthusiasm
- Think positively – this is vital
- Make Eye Contact & Smile – Authentically
- Stand arms length away
- Fully face the person
- Subtly mirror body language
- Stand tall and relaxed
- Breath through your nose
- Lean slightly toward others as they speak

Don’t Doubt!

If you’re human, you probably find yourself feeling doubtful from time to time about different things in life. Maybe you doubt your ability to make more money. Maybe your doubt that you’ll get that new job or find true love. Maybe you doubt your beauty or how talented you really are.
Whatever and wherever your doubt shows up, know that you have a choice on whether or not to believe that doubt. And as I once learned from a wise 10 year old girl a few years back is- “You’re not going to get to where you want to be by doubting.”
Are you letting doubt hold you back from where you want to be? Check out this 30 second video on the importance of not doubting!

For all you parents out there who have found yourself on the other end of parenting since your children became adults, this article is for you!

Let me start by explaining that I am a widower with four grown daughters. All of them are talented, loving, bright, achievement-oriented young women. For this, I am grateful. For the most part, they are focused on their careers, their partners, and the daily stresses of their own life. There is one exception. That is when Dad comes to visit, and I become the focus of their not-always-entirely-welcomed scrutiny, and efforts to do a Dad makeover in a day!
On a recent visit to my daughter’s house in Saratoga Springs, in Upstate N.Y. for the Thanksgiving holiday, I had a chance to visit with my two middle daughters. One is a life coach, and the other a teacher. Both have lots of advice for dear old Dad! I probably should not have complained about my sciatica, plantar fasciitis, and other sundry annoyances of an increasingly post-middle age existence.
Since my wife died, my daughters often act as parents in reverse. Without a wife to nag or cajole me, my daughters have taken up the cudgel! I have to keep reminding myself that it’s only because they love me!

Habit Forming and Habit Breaking
Let us find out how to understand this whole process of habit forming and habit breaking. We can take the example of smoking, and you can substitute your own habit, your own particular problem, and experiment with your own problem directly as I am experimenting with the problem of smoking. It is a problem, it becomes a problem, when I want to give it up; as long as I am satisfied with it, it is not a problem. The problem arises when I have to do something about a particular habit, when the habit becomes a disturbance. Smoking has created a disturbance, so I want to be free of it. I want to stop smoking; I want to be rid of it, to put it aside, so my approach to smoking is one of resistance or condemnation. That is, I don’t want to smoke, so my approach is either to suppress it, condemn it, or to find a substitute for it -instead of smoking, to chew. Now, can I look at the problem free of condemnation, justification, or suppression? Can I look at my smoking without any sense of rejection? Try to experiment with it now as I am talking, and you will see how extraordinarily difficult it is not to reject or accept. Because, our whole tradition, our whole background, is urging us to reject or to justify rather than to be curious about it. Instead of being passively watchful, the mind always operates on the problem.

Take time to integrate your lessons.
With all the life lessons that I’ve been learning lately, I felt it was time to take a little T.O. (time-out) to give myself a chance to integrate what I have learned so that I can actually LEARN the lesson and not have to repeat it. So, despite a two-page list of to-do’s that needed to get done this week, I took a whole day to myself to be in nature, ponder in my thoughts, get a much needed massage (thanks to the generosity and support of Nancy Kendall of Healing Spirit Massage), and to just BE.
Check out my latest video on my insights that came from this time well spent…
