Utilize Body Language To Improve How You Communicate - 'Read' The People You Interact With
Body language - who practices that art you may say. Actually we all do, often without realizing it. We get impressions about people we interact with, which can lead us to handle situations differently. That sums up the language of the body.Communication is not just verbal, though that is most common. Being good at verbal communication, overcoming communication barriers, getting your point across, is something we can all improve. In fact day to day life gives us the practice. Whatever we do, whoever we are we communicate each and every day.
And we can mislead. The language of the body, when read correctly, can show when we are lying and when we are our body is in synch with what we are saying. Don't think that the other person cannot read you, though some people are a lot more expert at this than others. It is true that we all have a feeling when someone is being less than honest with us, if we have the 'eyes' to see.
So what is communicating with body language?
In simple terms it means:
- Observing people, day to day, and look for the clues
- Seeing how they communicate with movement or positioning of their body
- Not just hearing what they say but 'seeing' how they say it
- Noticing that what may be said may be contradicted by their body and their gestures
- Remember that we can all try to fool other people from time to time - but do we succeed?
- All in all - communicate with your whole self
