  1. Acoording to psychologist websites there are some corporal gestures that you must eliminate forever if you want to be successful in life,

    1. Play with your fingers
    Who has not done this at some time? Surely many of those who are reading and know how difficult they are to avoid, however, this "tic" denotes nervousness and lack of power by the person who does it.

    2. Touching the hair
    One of the most common. Running your hands around your hair continuously involves distraction. It is true that it is a difficult habit to eliminate, so we recommend using an anti-stress ball as a substitute.

    3. Cross arms
    If during a conversation, you cross your arms it reflects that you are uncomfortable, it also denotes that someone is on the defensive and that is unreliable. The experts recommend always showing the hands to the interlocutor, since that implies that we have nothing to hide.

    4. Drag the feet
    Experts say we can know what a person looks like just by walking. Therefore, shuffling the feet shows distrust and lack of coordination.
