Posture
When it comes to your posture, a mirror can be a great advisor. Look into your mirror and see the way you stand or walk. Your posture can talk a lot about your confidence and can change the way you feel about yourself. Stand in a meek and passive manner, and then shift your body to assume a confident stance, by leaning slightly forward with your feet grounded with half a feet of distance between them. See how confident you would feel with that stance. Also try discovering your optimal distance. Figure out how much distance you’d like to keep between yourself and others you’re communicating with.
You can find your comfort zone and optimal distance either through experience or by asking a friend to remain stationary as you move closer while conversing with her. Make eye contact and see how close you can get before you feel uncomfortable, and too close.
