What is being Socially Accepted?

Let’s face it. Your life can be better. May it be in the aspect of work, sports, romance, family or even friends. There’s always room for improvement. You might be bored wondering what to do next that led you to search random entries on google which is how you ended up here. You may of been intrigued by becoming Socially Accepted but what does it mean? Being Socially Accepted can be defined but the truth is it’s a way of life.

Do you consider yourself awkward? Are you the life of the party or just another person in attendance? When you run into old friends or acquaintances you haven’t seen in a while are they excited to see you? Being Socially Accepted means you’ve reached the ceiling of every aspect of your life or you are well on your way there. If there was a definition to being Socially Accepted it would have to read; being your best you, always.

Some people feel as if they peaked in high school or their prime in their life is behind them. That is no way to live your life. The best way to live your life is always staying in your prime and the only way you can do that is by becoming Socially Accepted. Everyday should be better than the day before. You should be on a never ending quest to reaching your full potential. It’s not something that can be done in a day but with time, practice, and the willingness to evolve anything is possible.

Let’s face it. It’s the 21st century if you really didn’t want to physically speak to anybody you can probably get away with it. We are all connected on the internet and now with mobile devices.

I believe the Six Degrees of Separation has now dropped to five. Regardless there is no denying the benefits of being able to speak and control a room while radiating confidence. You can fake it all you want but at some point reality is going to hit and you’re going to have to accept the challenge.

There are obvious benefits to being social but being Socially Accepted there is so much more than that. It is a way of thinking, understanding, reacting, and handling. It’s a way of life that will have you leaving impressions and making appearances when people you’ve met day dream. It would have everybody wanting more. It is helping you evolve to the best you possible. Becoming an Alpha male or female.

With the combination of the book and the blog there is enough information if applied properly to change the life of anyone willing to change. Most people are afraid of change but the beauty of it is if you don’t like the change, you can always change again. If properly executed, part of becoming Socially Accepted, you will be able to change and have the ability to revert back to old ways if the change doesn’t exceed expectations; creating a safety net of sorts. It’s a way of thinking, understanding, reacting, and handling.

Here you will find resources, tools, posts, videos, and much more that can help you on your new way of life. My passion is life and being a Life Coach only made sense.

Notable Advice for Everyday Life

Hold eye contact It’s the pathway to the soul. Among silverback gorillas, the world’s largest primates, only the dominant male is allowed to stare at other gorillas. The stare is the way in which the leader asserts his authority over the group. The same goes with us humans: dominant people are permitted to stare, while subordinates are intimidated into looking away. This is something we are taught as children, “it’s rude to stare”, but can be untaught with practice. Holding eye contact is an easy way to display your confidence and show your power. Hold eye contact and don’t break. At first it will be uncomfortable to adjust but with practice you can master it.

Always Smile. The facial feedback hypothesis states that facial movements can influence emotional experience. So an individual who forces a smile upon his face in a social gathering will actually come to find the event more of an enjoyable experience. It is something I have done throughout the majority of my life and I live a very happy one. Pretty much when you are happy the brain tells you to smile, so when your brain sees that you are smiling it thinks it’s happy even when it’s not. Having a smile on your face can make you live a more enjoyable life and increases the likely hood of someone approaching you to start conversation.

Learn Body Language.One study at UCLA indicated that up to 93 percent of communication effectiveness is determined by nonverbal cues. How much of an advantage do you think you would have if you knew how to read body language? Advancements in technology have forever changed the way we communicate with each other. Nowadays in the modern world it’s easy to forget how to communicate face-to-face. When conversing in person it’s not only verbal communication that matters but also what comes from our nonverbal cues as well. Learn how to read body language. Learn another form of communication (that is almost always honest) and learn the hidden meanings behind normal conversation.
