Cada gesto cuenta una historia

Cuando pensamos en lenguaje y comunicación generalmente pensamos en hablar. Pero nuestros gestos y movimientos, en otras palabras nuestro lenguaje corporal, dice mucho más sobre nosotros que nuestras palabras. Lenguaje corporal nos dice lo que los otros realmente piensan o sienten también.

Un psicólogo experto dice que sólo el 7% de la comunicación que hacemos lo decimos con palabras, mientras que el 93 % proviene de señales silenciosas. Los niños lo entienden naturalmente, pero cuando crecen, el énfasis pasa a las palabras y pierden la habilidad de recoger estas señales silenciosas. Los adultos se convierten en muy buenos diciendo cosas que no tienen un significado necesariamente. El lenguaje corporal trabaja junto con lenguaje verbal, pero a veces los dos pueden ser contradictorios. Por ejemplo, un individuo puede decir que esta de acuerdo contigo, pero al mismo tiempo está inclinando su silla de vuelta. Pero físicamente alejándose de usted, expresa su desacuerdo.

"Algunas personas son extremadamente buenas con el lenguaje corporal mintiendo," dice el psicólogo. Por ejemplo, los políticos aprenden a usar ciertos gestos para crear la impresión correcta. Pero no son tan exitosas como ellos esperan. Antes de creer lo que ve en el rostro de una persona debe avanzar más hacia atrás para ver su cuerpo entero. Cuanto más observe la cara de la gente, usted será más veraz.

Algunos gestos faciales, los hacemos instintivamente. Por ejemplo, las pupilas de nuestros ojos se dilatan cuando somos atraídos por alguien. Tanto el lenguaje corporal sucede inconscientemente. Si queremos utilizar y comprender gestos con éxito tenemos que ser conscientes de ellos y sus significados diferentes. Observar el lenguaje corporal en nosotros mismos y en otros nos ayuda a comunicarnos mejor. Si aprende a descifrar y usar el lenguaje corporal bien, será como hablar con él con lenguaje verbal.

If I was Jennifer, had run for my life through the corridors shouting desperately, after he had breathed and tried to calm myself to be in an optimal state and thereby help students in the building were desperate and distressed by the fire alarm , Seeing that the school guard did nothing because he was in a state of impact, realizing that the situation was already being controlled me, Jennifer, had decided to address to my  home, taking a few pills, feed my dog nice and neat and so I expected to sleep peacefully after this false fire alarm in my workplace
