It is a fact that most people want to be liked. Some people succeed in doing so, and others try to make a good impression, but get the opposite results.

People wish to look charismatic and become popular. It doesn’t always work out, due to low self-esteem, lack of confidence or to being too aggressive or lacking tact.

Being charismatic and easily liked are important in job interviews, in sales, dealing with people or in friendships and relationships.

Here are a few simple tips that can help you more charismatic and popular:

Posture
Pay attention to the way you carry your body. Don’t stoop, shuffle or look listless. Keep your back straight when you walk and when you sit, but don’t overdo it, otherwise it will look artificial.

Eye contact
Don’t be afraid of eye contact when talking, but don’t overdo it, as this might be interrupted as rudeness.

Talking
Don’t talk too fast or too slow and speak to the point.

Keep your voice quiet, but clear. Apart from having a relaxing influence on the people you are talking with, they will have to pay more attention to what you are saying.

Even if you don’t agree with what someone says, don’t retort in anger. Stay calm, patient and tolerant, and people will respect you more.

Sometimes people ask whether it is okay to use visualization to improve relationships. If you are in relationship, and desire to improve this relationship, it is all right to visualize you and your partner being in love and enjoying each other’s company.

If you desire to attract love into your life, never visualize a particular person, whom you know, because this mental coercion. It is far better to visualize being in love and happy, without referring to any special person. Let the Universe bring you the most appropriate person for you.

If you visualize and focus your mind on a particular person:

1) You are forcing that person to be with you.

2) The person you visualize might unconsciously sense what you are doing and resent it.

3) It is possible that this particular person is not the right one for you.

4) The other person might already have someone else.

5) You limit yourself to one particular person, whom might not want you. It is far better to visualize the traits of character, looks and behavior of a person you want to be with, and let the Creative Power attract the right person for you.
