Secrets Revealed: How To Be Charismatic.

Last week, I wrote about the charming effect of charisma. Today I want to share with you some tips to develop charisma.

1. SMILE

Smiling is the easiest, most inexpensive, yet most refreshing gesture one can do without really exerting so much effort. Do you know that it only takes 14 muscles to smile, and 74 to frown? Imagine that!

A charming, pleasant smile is a strong representation of a friendly and welcoming attitude towards another person. It is a receptive, nonverbal signal indirectly showing the willingness to communicate. When you smile to somebody, you’re demonstrating that you have noticed a person in a positive manner. The person, on the other hand, will consider it a compliment, will feel good, and will most likely smile back.

Smiling doesn’t mean that you have to put on a phony face all the time or pretend that you are happy. However, doesn’t it really make you feel good when you see someone you know? Therefore, you show him something that doesn’t need words or other friendly actions – because a smile is enough.

Our faces send out numbers of verbal and nonverbal signals, and the smile is one of these. It is actually the easiest and best way to show someone that you’ve noticed him. A smile indicates general approval towards the other person, and this will make him feel more open to talk to you.

A smile has endless advantages: it brightens not just your day, but the other’s day too; it lightens the mood, especially during problems and worries; it makes you look young, friendly, sweet, and attractive.

People tend to like those who smile more than those who frown or have no facial expression at all. It gives them guarantee that these people know how to see things lightly despite difficulties in life. And since a smile goes a long way, it is something that people cannot forget about you. They may not remember your name, but in the long run, they will surely see your smile in their minds, reminding them that you have brightened up their day even for a while.

Therefore, learn to smile at any given chances. People will easily like you for it.

Your smile will be more appealing if you share it with others. Be it strangers or friends, it wouldn’t hurt if you give some to them. What’s the use of taking dental health care and eating a healthy diet if you won’t show that lovely smile to the world?

So, smile! Help the world reduce its heavy burden by lightening other people’s mood.


Frankly speaking, long, long time ago when I was very much focused on my career, I hardly smiled, because I worked under stress. Today, my life took a change. I smile to uplift my spirit and to others' too.


Smile, and the world will smile at you!
