Welcome to Love Life, I'm Matthew Hussie. Now do you ever feel like you're stuck in a rut?

We all do from time to time. The problem is just going through the motions,

cuts off our ability to grow and increase our happiness in life.

Now what would happen if you actually began living each and every day with purpose?

Let me tell you, it is possible to transform your life from ordinary to extraordinary

and it doesn't have to take months or years but just a matter of days.

Stick with me till the end of the show and I'll tell you exactly how to do it.

I have a couple of techniques for you today to have instant charisma in the first five seconds of speaking to someone.

So what are these? Well the first one is the pregnant pause.

I mean this is generally speaking, anyway people do not pause enough in conversation.

They talk because they're insecure and they keep talking so that there isn't God forbid and awkward silence.

But planned silences can actually magnify your impact and this is something not enough of us are actually doing.

I noticed something about the charismatic people that I was coming across.

They had a way of owning the room and having everyone tune into what they were saying,

sometimes even in moments where they weren't speaking.

So someone would tell them something, could be telling them about their job or where they're from or an opinion they had on life.

And rather than launch right into some big opinion on it, they would almost catch the other person a little bit off guard,

throw them off balance a little bit with a pause because they would say something like this.

So here's a question I have for you.

And then they pause.

Or I'd hear someone say, here's the thing.

And then they pause or they'd say, okay, so I have a question.
