Context Matters
Always consider the context when interpreting body language. Like crossed arms might suggest defensiveness in one situation or simply that the person is cold in another.
some examples of positive body language:
- Posture: Be relaxed but don't slouch. Stand up tall to convey confidence.
- Eye contact: Maintain eye contact for a few seconds at a time.
- Gestures: Use simple hand gestures. Avoid touching your face.
- Facial expressions: Smile and use positive facial expressions.
