by Susan Dunn
Astrology is for Believers.

their lives seriously.

When you have developed your emotional intelligence and are operating authentically from an integrated self, the next step is to make sure you are getting this across to the people around you. You want to leave behind any old actions, behaviors, expressions and gestures from former times, and pay attention to your nonverbal expression so that you can be sure of who you are but not ostentatious.
Definitions
Showing who you are - Acting in such a way that people understand who you are and what you are about. This means showing your good points as part of your integrated self.
Being ostentatious - Being excessively conspicuous; showing off; marked by or fond of conspicuous or vainglorious and sometimes pretentious display. Usually of material things to represent yourself, such as a Piaget watch, but also of personal qualities, such as ostentatiously dominating a meeting with ego, and using words you know others cannot understand
Comparisons
Being who you are vs. Being your persona
Wearing your diamond engagement ring, which happens to be big vs. Positioning your hand in such a way that the other person can't miss that you have a big diamond, and finding ways to mention it
Confident, self-assured and somewhat understated nonverbal expression vs. Overdoing the nonverbal so people notice you AND what you want them to notice
Example
Martha-Matithe arrived at the meeting swinging her labels all around. She behaved in such a way that people were forced to notice her designer purse ($500), her designer briefcase ($1000), her new watch ($1000). She "led" with these, sticking them out in other people's faces, and even mentioned that she'd gotten this new watch on her latest cruise to Russia and what a great deal it was.
Henri was quietly self-confident. He dressed and presented himself in a classic and undertoned way that allowed people to focus on who he was and what he was saying rather than what he had on or what he was carrying. In this way they were able to listen to what he said and evaluate it on its own merit. They were able to get a clear picture of what Henri was like.
Key Point
You don't need to be ostentatious to show people who you are and what you are about. In fact it's counterproductive. Many people will see it as coming from insecurity. It will make them uncomfortable.
Benefits
You will represent yourself authentically, according to inner qualities instead of outer objects, and in a way that makes other people comfortable. You will be authentic, not fooling the most important person -- yourself.

- Making a point vs. Blustering
- Talking vs. Shouting
- Gesturing vs. Flailing
- Laughing vs. Guffawing
