| How do you walk? |

As you probably already know, I am on a cruise ship at the moment in the Caribbean. Garin and I are performing again at the end of the week and I am really looking forward to it. It has been a month or so since we have been on stage. But this afternoon I was at lunch and as usual watching people as they go by. We were outside on deck by the pool and I watched young and old walk by as if they are at a funeral... rather than on vacation on a beautiful Cruise ship on a warm sunny day. But not only that... ladies, come on... walk with grace and pride. Yes, maybe these ladies are on vacation, but is that a reason to drag their feet and slouch? Poor walking posture Walk nice and tall I know I can be sure that this is how these girls walk every day... not just today because they are wearing flip flops and a swimsuit... Actually, all the more reason to pick their your feet and walk tall. And Gentlemen... what about walking with long energetic strides so you will look younger and stronger. Suck in those bellies and broaden your shoulders... it is amazing what some good posture can do for a person. Not only in appearance but also to boost your energy levels and maybe have more fun in life altogether:) I know... I am sounding harsh and probably a little facetious, but it really upsets me to see healthy people just let themselves go when they have so much to live for. Enjoy your life... have some fun. My point is... whether you are on vacation or at work, or shopping or whatever it is you are doing, the way you walk has everything to do with the way you feel - with the way you approach everything in your life. Walk with pride and energy, and you will radiate a presence of someone who is charismatic, energetic and an absolute doer. The kind of person that gets stuff done and knows how to work hard and have fun. So Vanessa, stop dragging your feet... put a spring in your step and lift your chin today and every day, and see how different you feel and how suddenly people notice you... they notice you and are affected by you - in a good way! Don't let gravity get the better of you... walk tall and proud, lift up your feet and lengthen your strides. Pizzazz is about energy and style and confidence... it is up to you to Walk with Pizzazz! Kind regards Vanessa Bader P.S. In the Pizzazz Factor I show you exactly how you can walk to look your best and feel more energetic all day and every day. I practice with you in front of the mirror... you will be amazed what walking with Pizzazz can do for you! |
