Why not give yourself 5 minutes break to discover or rediscover 3 tips of elegance, presence, even charm! A nice introduction to soft skills, to be yourself, before your holidays, to better savor your friends, your loves and your life!
What about walking harmoniously?
First, here’s what NOT to do:
– Try anyone’s approach. Your bones are yours. Your approach must match your personality.
– Walk with your shoulders.
– Walking by pressing the heel before pressing the tip of your foot (you know the expression: to walk on the feet? Well, just stop, step on you will see, it changes your life!).
– Knit knees.
– Make steps too big or too small (see Olive in Popeye!)
– Roll your hips (it’s overused you can not find? Except on catwalk shows and if you’re a model … and still !!!)
And to walk with charm, here is what to do:
– Practice daily five minutes walking along a straight line like a tightrope dancer, ensuring your balance with your arms.
– Place each foot straight in front of the other and turn around by turning on your feet, turning your entire body just a second before turning your feet.
– After three minutes: walk more freely along two parallel bars (on subway travelators or in a corridor, yes, in a hallway at home or elsewhere!).
But be careful: do it by touching the walls or ramps with your hands, holding your feet straight in front of you and putting a book on your head (very important!).
– To avoid rolling your hips, practice moving your weight from the back foot to the front foot, relaxing your knees and without pressing on the hip joint.
– Learn how to keep your bust stretched, neck up, your chest raised above the rib cage (= back straight), as if your legs were hooked!
– Also, take care of the swinging of your arms. It is rhythmic: the right arm advances at the same time as the left foot. The left with the right foot.
Above all, get off well!
You may remember that famous phrase of Cécile Sorel by the famous French novelist Stendhal: “Did I have it down well?” When she arrived at the bottom of the monumental staircase of the Casino de Paris? So, if you follow my advice, then you will not have to worry about going down or climbing stairs! But above all, you will have the expected charm!
To go down stairs, what NOT to do:
1. Walk your knees apart.
2. Tap heels.
3. Tilt the bust forward.
What has to be done:
1. Turn slightly to the side to see the steps without being forced to bend over.
2. Stand upright, bending the back knee, until the front foot touches the step!
Make the stairs rise!
To climb a staircase, what NOT to do:
1. Climb up the ramp.
2. Bend and drag along the steps. Especially not to do!
What has to be done:
1. Tilt your body slightly forward while carrying the weight higher than your hips.
2. Place one foot firmly and push up with the other, lifting the knees just enough to ride smoothly.
Sit down with grace
What you should NOT do :
1. Falling down on his chair.
2. Sit on his backbone (!).
3. Wiggle or lay your legs apart, feet turned inward.
4. Lay his legs like snakes.
5. Have a round back or sit up and bring out your posterior!
6. Put your hands on your thighs.
While to sit down with charm, here’s what to do:
1. Take a chair with a straight back. Place it at one end of the room.
2. Then, about 30cm from the seat, look at the backrest quickly, turn, slide one foot behind the other, under the edge of the chair, bend your knees and lower your hips keeping your back straight. Sit down straight away, without crossing your legs, with your knees together.
3. Once installed on the chair, push the tailbone against the backrest.
4. Stand straight, head up, ribs raised above waist, neck up.
5. Keep shoulders back, low and flexible.
6. Finally, if you cross your legs (for those with long legs especially), cross them very high, on the thighs, so that they remain parallel from the knees.
In summary, with these few tips, your charm and your elegance will be great (i.e. at the top of your femininity). But above all, never forget that you are beautiful!!!
