Poise Behaviour

A Lady must have self-confidence.

~ There’s a graciousness to a Poised Lady.

~ She is polished and refined.

~ She speaks softly and listens with quiet attentiveness.

~ She has a warm smile for everyone. She is kind.

A Poised Lady looks people in the eye when they’re speaking to her.  She doesn’t rush and acts as though every conversation she has… is the most important one of her day. You have her full attention when you’re speaking to her. She is perceived to be highly intelligent.

Never Ever rush or be in a Hurry

To be poised to never seem like you're in a hurry, no matter what calls. Do not walk too quickly. Do not strut making loud sounds of your heels clicking against the boardwalk. Do not eat in a hurry, no matter how hungry you are. Do not zip up your purse in an anxious and fast way. Be as quiet as possible and unhurried. This also means no slamming of car doors, house doors, fridge door, no matter how you feel. It is all about being in a relaxed control.

Obviously, this is harder than it looks especially in the fast paced society that we live in. I'm guilty as charged! If you find yourself hurrying everywhere, it is probably due to poor time management. You could also be doing too much. Slow down, select (root meaning of the word "elegance" is be selective) - elegance is after all, a way of life.

Exercise for poise and posture

I've noticed that people who exercise regularly do not seem to have problems of attaining good posture. With good posture, half the battle is won to achieve an elegant poise. Dancing helps too. Especially ballet dancing.

Dress good always

Dress good to always give yourself confidence.There is a psychological effect when you do that. Your body responds to your thoughts and that influences how you feel. How you feel projects how you look!

Haven't you had days when you wore something great and bumped into some people you like? You were so glad that it happened. There are also days when you accidentally had a chance meeting with your boss looking like a total slob? You didn't feel very good then did you?

When you feel confident, great, and on top of the world, it reflects a certain poise. You look healthy, radiant and ready to take on the world!

When you're feeling low, sloppy, ugly - you feel like bear just wanting to crawl back under to hibernate for months. You hope you don't meet anyone. That also will show up in your poise .
