First time conversations are usually the making or forgetting of an individual. The impact that you leave the first time you have a conversation with someone stays with them for a long time. Well, the world that we live in, before the conversation has even happened an impression is formed! Your conversation begins with the way you carry yourself; your body language and your clothes will portray your mood entirely which without realization people know how to read.

Just spending a couple of seconds to shift your mind frame with your body language will leave you approachable, a happy person who people want to talk to and someone people will remember.

These tips are mentioned a number of times, but without the right reasoning and hence you forget to follow them. Check out these tips with a reasoning so that you can create a charming impression within 60 seconds from any kind of distance.

·       Heard of the walk tall? You are meant to walk tall as it exudes the feeling of class, being high and mighty, and having the capability to handle anything. So, how do you walk tall? You walk tall by rolling your shoulders back, back straight which automatically tucks in your paunch as well and chin parallel to the ground.

·       The soft smile. The soft, gentle smile which people usually do not get because they believe it is a full teeth baring smile or a one sided smirk. A soft smile is lifting both sides of your lips slightly upwards which automatically softens all your face muscles that gives a look of ease. This look brings your cheeks up a little showing a sign of health that makes people believe they can have a good conversation with you.

·       Long strides. It is said that taking long strides is a sign of good body language. When you think about it, it is because it shows that the person is willing to move forward with a sense of conviction. Even though the ideal way is to take long strides, we suggest that you take medium strides as it keeps you at a steady pace when you are with someone or when you are moving along where you can see something of your interest.

·       Hands-free. Keeping your hands loose and free while walking or standing gives you a sense of openness rather than being preoccupied. Keep your arms and hands open rather than behind your back or folded across your chest.

·       Phone fiddler. People who are constantly pretending to be or are busy with their phones come across as disrespectful and bored with the place they are in. Being present in the situation rather than being preoccupied will make you a more friendly person who people will remember as someone who is available. You may be a busy person but you do not need to always show it to people. That's called balance.

Follow these tips now that you have the knowledge of why these need to be done. Changing these takes barely any time and changes the entire impression that you create.
