The Easy Way To Becoming More Approachable

In this world “like attracts like”.

We gravitate to the people similar to us and to activities that we know.

It is why we watch the same kind of movies and TV shows, have similar friends, and do similar things all through life.

But it is also why we attract who we attract.

This means if we want to become more approachable or attract different people, activities or things in life, then we have to think about how we can become a person that is that way already.

Imagine, for example, a person that seems incredibly approachable to you: What about them draws you to them?

Is it their joy? Is it their smile? Is it their positive attitude, confidence, attractiveness or something else?

You likely already know a few aspects of “approachableness”, and will be likely to infer the rest with educated guesses, you just never took the time to truly think about it.

Right now, before you continue with this post, think about what makes a person “approachable” and write this down in a list.

Think about what kind of people you want to attract, what would make them approach someone, and what that would mean for you. Then continue.
