People haven’t stopped talking about the “Marilyn Monroe Effect” ever since a Plain Jane like Norma Jeane Mortenson was able to turn into her show-stopping alter ego, Marilyn Monroe – almost like magic. 

TikToker Mikela Wilson uses this technique herself, turning up her confidence. Find her on Instagram @mikaelawillson.

She explains she made it happen “all by changing how I carry myself. Confidence really is how you carry yourself. And being attractive is really just about your body language.”

The wonderful news is anyone who struggles with self-love can implement this effortlessly into their daily life.

Here are a few tips to try to embrace the Marilyn Monroe Effect

Smile more and be warm. Send out happy and comfortable vibes to those around you. 

Be friendly. Genuinely be kind to others.

Have good posture. Sit and stand up straight, shake people’s hands, and introduce yourself confidently.

If you get lost on how to proceed, Mikela suggests, “Picture yourself like you’re writing a book and you are the ‘glowed-up’ character version of you. What does she do? What does she wear? What is she interested in?”

Emulate this character when you don’t feel confident about yourself, and the assurance will naturally start to flow. Before you know it, a new bold poise will become like second nature. 

Marilyn showed us how our attitude embodied on any day can help people transform from the ordinary into the extraordinary.

Implement this life-altering effect and watch how people start to react positively to you and how the love you begin to feel about yourself grows.
