You may want to stand out in a crowd or just have an easier time building rapport with new people. What you want is charisma that radiates from within you and draws people in. This is really about being a better you and censoring yourself less when it comes to the strong points of your personality. To really shine you have to look inside yourself. You will also have to challenge yourself because big changes do not come when you stay in your comfort zone.
• Put a smile on your face. Smiles are contagious and this simple act will really change the way the world responds to you. Positivity and your own enthusiasm will make other people feel good. Smile even when you do not feel like it because it will cause your body to release the chemicals that make you happy.
• Be open and interested in other people. The way to make friends is to be a friend. Stop trying to make people interested in you and really listen to and appreciate them. When you are open to people and do not judge them they will be more willing to communicate with you. Be curious and willing to learn new things. Remember that the world is just as full of wonder now as it was when you were a child.
• Be present and in the moment. Be centered and be focused and you will make people feel special in a way they are not used to feeling. Keep eye contact without staring and occasionally break it. Really listen to the person instead of planning what you are going to say next. Take deep breaths and pay attention to the way they feel if you need to get centered and bring yourself back into the moment.
• Be a confident person. Believe in yourself and your abilities. Hold your back straight and your head up high. Being wrong, or even failing, will not kill you. It may even make it stronger.
