Be it your first job or your third one or an important date, you want to walk wearing an impressive personality on your sleeves. Personality has become an oft-used word in our language. It is that tangible-yet-undefined feature that employers look in job candidates and people look for in prospective partners. But what is personality? Can we define it?
Personality is a characteristic way of thinking, feeling, and behaving. A research study by psychologists at the University of Illinois suggests that we can change our personality traits provided we want to change them.
You can become the best version of yourself if you want to. A version that reverberates confidence, enthusiasm, and serenity. The kind that makes you stand out and help you get what you want in life. Is there a formula to develop a personality like that? Let us find out.
What can you do every day to nurture a great personality?
Tend to your appearance with zest: How you feel about your body and appearance matters. Look in the mirror every day with joy.
Smile more often: ‘Your smile looks awful,’ said no one ever. Your smile is your best add-on to your personality. Put it on when you look at yourself in the mirror, when you are having a good day, and also when you are having a bad one!
Meditate: As you meditate regularly, letting go and feeling relaxed becomes easier. Daily meditation will also make you more focused and happier.
Get out of your comfort zone: As you push your comfort zone, you realize many new qualities and potential in you. So for instance, as a writer if you are comfortable writing 2,000 words per day, try to increase your capacity by a certain number. If you are not comfortable to put forth your opinion and disagree on something, try doing that albeit calmly and maturely. You will be surprised at what comes out of you.
Save your mind from negativity: When you feel good inside, you naturally reflect it on the outside. And the way to save your mind from negativity is to not resist it but to observe it dissolve on a daily basis. Meditation is one way of doing it.
Interact with all kinds of people: As you interact with different kinds of people, you become more confident and comfortable. Your communication skills improve, and your personality dazzles.
