EXAMPLE
Our bodies have a language of their own, and their words aren’t always kind. Your body language has likely become an integral (of, relating to, or belonging as a part of the whole; constituent or component) part of who you are, to the point where you might not even think about it. If that’s the case, it’s time to start, because you could be sabotaging (any underhand interference with production, work, etc., in a plant,factory, etc., as by enemy agents during wartime or by employees during a trade dispute[to engage in argument or debate; to quarrel]) your career.
