Are you re branded? "This is an interesting topic, to say the least, but a good one, over the past couple of Sunday's, I have asked several distinguished people what made them decide to make the change in their lives and start this journey and transformation? And they were some inspiring testimonies and some similarities in several people's decision. The one thing for me was because of the job I had, and the changes that I was making, I wanted people to see me in a new light and for those who didn't know me I wanted to see the new me. So, I needed to re brand or let people see the new me; the better version of me and also introduce myself to people who did not know me in the way that I wanted them to know me. So, for the most part I had to re brand myself, meaning I had to let the people that knew me before that I was not that same person, I did not use the same profanity or as much as I use to. I did not dress like I use to, I did not engage in certain conversations like I use to, or respond to situations like I use too, because if I did not do this, then they will continue to treat and respond to me as the old version of me that I was trying tying to dissolve from the memories of people that knew me prior, and to instill the new version of me to people that did not know me. The truth is, showing the new me to people that never knew me was the easy part, the hard part was people that knew me, getting them to recognize and understand that I am not that person that they knew. Letting them see the stoic side of me, and some of these point of demonstrating this I found to be helpful are listed below. Again, these are just some things that I did to help me introduce my brand of me, and to rebrand the person I am now and continue to strive for. I hope this helps others. 1. My silence made people nervous about the conversations or gossip that they would once get me involved in 2. Making a more direct eye contact when engaged in conversation. 3. Trying not to impress them to justify my existence. 4. Not reacting emotionally to situations that are around me. 5. Setting boundaries quickly to avoid putting myself in situation that I did not want to engage in participate in. 6. Making decisions fast and standing behind my decisions. 7. Not fearing being alone. 8. Seeing people clearly for who they are 9. Stop giving VIP access to general admission people, meaning I was always the first to make contact; the first one calling, the first one texting to people who only contact me when they are in crisis but suddenly disappear when I have a win. 10. Feeling drained after hanging around certain people, your body knows the truth before your brain does, close the door on negative people, you're not being mean, you're being selective.

By Kathleen Cairns Suddenly everyone is talking about eyebrows. The hooded suspect in the case of Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance has some unique eyebrows, which has made interpreting eyebrows a viral topic on some social media platforms. Eyebrows frame the eyes, and we often seek the truth by how eyes react during a discussion. While we can consciously control our eye movements to a point, it is much harder to control the tiny muscles that react in the eyebrow realm. Eyebrows often reveal genuine reactions before words can catch up to the emotion displayed in the movement. Body Language Signals: 1. Raised Eyebrows: Surprise, curiosity, interest, enthusiasm and engagement. 2. Furrowed Brows (Brows Drawn Together): Confusion, concern, concentration, cognitive processing or worry. 3. One Eyebrow Raised: Skepticism, doubt, playfulness, but examine the context of the conversation as well, it may be teasing or genuine disbelief. 4. Lowered, Tensed Brows: Anger, determination, defensiveness or intensity. 5. Relaxed Brows: Openness, calm, comfort and receptiveness. While some people spend time grooming eyebrows a certain way, it cannot hide how the muscles react to emotions, which can play a big role in how body language is interpreted. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/eyebrows-matter-react-quickly-one-most-honest-signals-kathleen-cairns-e2ste?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_ios&utm_campaign=share_via
