Hi everybody, welcome back to the self-help podcast. I'm your host, Pali, and today is going to be fun. Seriously, by the time we're done, you are going to look at yourself in the mirror and think, wait, I can be magnetic. Today we're diving into 20 habits that can instantly make you more attractive. And no, this isn't about having a chisel jawline or spending hours in the gym, though that'll be wonderful too. But today is all about psychology, human behavior, and some tiny little twigs that you can make along the way that people literally can't help but notice. And here's the thing these habits aren't some long-term track you need to undergo. You can actually start doing them today and people will feel it. So grab your tea, coffee, or water, settle in, and let's make you irresistibly magnetic. Alright, let's kick off with the basic confidence. But not the fake look at me kind. I'm talking about the kind of confidence that draws people in without even trying. So what is that? Standing tall. You ever notice someone walking into a room and they just own it? Part of that is posture. How they walk. Are their shoulders hunched back? Or are they standing straight, shoulders back, head up, chest slightly forward? It screams, I'm here and I'm at her. And you know what? People notice it almost instantly. Number two, eye contact. Not the creepy, scary kind, but the engaging kind with genuine interest. When you look someone in the eye just long enough, it's like you are saying, I see you, I get you. People feel this pull without you even thinking. Number three, which is an important habit of smiling genuinely. And I mean really the kind that touches your eyes. There's science behind this. Your brain releases feel-good chemicals, and guess what? Their brain does too. Happiness is contagious. Speak slowly. Try it. Slow down a little bit. People consciously give more weight to what you're saying. It's like every word that you speak matters. Habit 5. Be present. Phones down, eyes on the person, listen, truly listen. Presence is magnetic. People feel it and it makes you unforgettable. Now, can you feel how simple tweaks like this already start shifting your energy? That is the magic of small habits. Next up is social intelligence. Ha, this is where things get really interesting. Attractive people get humans. They understand how we tick. And you can do it too. Give real compliments. Forget generic flattery. Notice the little things like effort, like creativity, or punctuality, or even someone's laughter. People feel authenticity. Use their name. We've all heard it. But here's a little secret. When you use someone's name naturally in a conversation, it lights them up. It seriously really does. Just think about last conversation you were having in a group setting and someone called you by your name or said, Hey, or Tipali, do you know about you did this well? Or what do you think about it? What are your thoughts? It immediately lights me up in ways I cannot really explain. It just gives a little boost of joy and happiness. Doesn't seriously try it out later today. Now listen actively, not with the intent to respond, but to actually listen and understand. Not just nodding and just kind of tilting your head when you're in some other zone or completely zoned up. Don't just nod. Really reflect, respond, and ask follow-up questions if you have. People love talking to someone who actually hears them. And as they say, the best gift you can give to somebody is your attention. It's the gift of attention. So please listen actively and intentionally. Now, mirror subtly. Now, matching someone's gestures, tone, or pace subtly makes them feel comfortable and helps build a rapport. Just don't overdo it or pfft, it's obvious. Show empathy. Empathy isn't weakness, it's actually magnetic. It it is something that people understand. People want someone who gets them, and when you do, wow, you're suddenly unforgettable. You see, attraction isn't just what you do, it's it's what and how you make people feel. Now, the elephant in the room in all our minds. Also, appearance. Let's talk about appearance. And before you roll your eyes, this isn't about being a model or walking a ramp. It's about cues people pick up instantly. Dress for your vibe. Only wear what makes you feel confident and comfortable. Don't go by the trends, not the latest trend, not what others expect you to wear. But what you do, wear when you feel good. And when you feel good, you look good. Hygiene matters, my girls. Clean nails, fresh breath. Sure, of course, these are the basic fundamentals. You know it all. Small details have huge, huge impact. If you're not feeling fresh from inside, no makeup or whatever you're wearing is going to make you feel wow. Move with intention. Walk like you own the space. Sit like you belong. People notice fluid, purposeful movements subconsciously. Set sent subtly. Don't overdo it. If we've all been to a party or a group setting where someone's like overdone on the perfume and just walking by with a ton load of perfume on you. You don't want that. But a clean, subtle scent can trigger attraction at a subconscious level. Use it as your signature scent. Science calls it pheromones, psychology calls it irresistible. Please have an open and inviting posture. Just lean slightly forward in conversations, uncrossed arms, not crossed arms, relaxed dance, not like sitting upright too tight. Doing this will make you more welcoming. Approachability is often misunderstood, but is sexy and confidence is magnetic. Mental and emotional attractiveness is something which is equally important. And here's where it gets juicy and kind of tricky. Your mind and emotions. Studies show that this is even more attractive than the looks. Cultivate positivity. Have you ever been around this one person who was supremely positive and you just feel happy and not drained by being around them? That. Smile more, laugh, focus on solutions instead of problem, and stop being a viny complainer. Positivity is contagious. I mean, I know life can be hard and tough, and in some moments it's difficult, but otherwise just have a positive tegena. Be curious, ask questions, explore ideas. People love talking to someone who's genuinely interested in them. Show resilience. Life throws curveballs and it often gives you lemons, and it's just how you make the lemonade out of it. Handle them gracefully. It's okay to fail, it's okay to accept a defeat. And there is something about accepting failure or failing or a setback or a health crisis or a financial crisis or just about anything if you do it with grace. And I know I have been miserable in those situations too, and it's tough. It's actually very easy for me to sit on my laptop and speak into the microphone and say, handle your defeat and handle um, you know, things that life the living air out of your body with grace, but but you actually have to do it, and honestly, there's no other way. And people admire strength more than perfection, and this and just this point, I feel like you have to do it more for yourself than for people around you. You gotta handle it with grace, and I remind it to myself too. Passion, talk about what lights you up, self-help, improvement. I am very, very passionate about all this. Finding the right words, public speaking, just lights me up in a way I can't quite explain. And when you have this passion within you for anything, could be your dream, your career, your job, um, towards building your new home or buying that new car or researching about 500 different toys that you can get for your kid, just whatever. Enthusiasm is irresistible. And habit number 20, practice gratitude daily. Gratitude actually, science has proved that it has shown that gratitude rewires your brain, changes something inside it. And people notice when someone appreciates life and little things and big things and everything in between, it's magnetic. Now, can you feel the energy shift just by listening to these? Imagine living them daily. And I'm such an energy person, I I want to be able to do these to just a be a better version of myself and also just come across as someone who's kind and who knows themselves and acts in accordance, and of course, then as an outcome, also look and feel attractive in the process. So if you start living these daily in your actions and everyday interactions and behavior, you'd become a human magnet. More at ease, and also therefore come across as more welcoming and inviting in the process. Mental and emotional attractiveness, positivity, quiet strength, courage, curiosity, passion, gratitude. It's a way of living, it's a way of life. So here's my request to you: pick up three habits, just choose three. Start today. Just with three. And you don't need to overhaul your life and just pick everything together, just three. And watch how people respond differently in just seven days. Not more, not less, just seven days. Remember, this isn't about perfection, it's about energy, it's about the shifts that you're creating intentionally. The way you show up for yourself, the way you make people feel, and that is what makes you magnetic. Thank you so much for hanging out with me today on the self-help podcast with the Pali.
