I am starting a series on Body Language that would run at least once a week for the next four weeks. It’s centred on the study of The New Psychology Of Body Language by Geoffrey Beattie and Understanding Body Language by Richard Thompson (to mention a few).

What is Body Language?

Michael Argyle and Peter Trower state humans express themselves in 2 distinct forms (a) language (through the use of words) and (b) non verbal communication.

Body language is a form of non verbal communication which is expressed through body pose, gestures, eye movements, hand signals etc.

The benefits of body language are as follows:

It aids constructive interaction with people It helps in convincing others to accept what you say. It could prevent misunderstandings. It increases your chances of dating people and building relationships. It helps understand our feelings and acknowledge the feelings of others.

The aim of this post is to highlight (expose laugh!!) simple body language signs that represent certain behaviours, character, attitudes you exhibit in our daily lives. The following body language signs are based on the feedback from questionnaires filled out by friends identifying those signs common to them.

(Self Esteem/Confidence) Body Language Signs

Hands behind the back show you are confident, relaxed, appear to know what you are talking about, a bit authoritative, powerful and comfortable. Head lowered indicates low self confidence, guilt and acceptance of defeat. Running fingers through hair could mean you are showing confidence in your looks, trying to gain attention or is visibly frustrated at certain events happening at that time. A smart or brisk walk with an upright posture could indicate a healthy level of self esteem and confidence. Constant pulling, scratching or patting down the hair shows low self confidence and insecurity. Avoiding eye contact displays lack of confidence, fear, guilt and in exceptional cases it could be a sign of submission if the eyes are lowered. Continuous blinking of the eye indicates nervousness.

(Thinking/Decision Making) Body Language Signs

Stroking the chin could mean you are about to make a decision. Hands on the cheek connote thinking. Looking directly upwards or hands on the forehead shows you are thinking deeply. Looking upwards and to the right indicates you are trying hard to remember something.

(Showing Interest) Body Language Signs

A tilted head (sometimes backwards) indicates you are showing keen interest in something occurring at that time. It could be a particular topic, movie, discussion, person etc. Stroking the front of the neck could mean showing concern for what someone else is saying. Nodding casually and occasionally indicates you are listening and is interested in what’s been said. A bright or widening eye shows a high level of interest in what’s been said or discussed.

(Not Interested) Body Language Signs

Eyes roaming all over the place implies you’ve lost interest, is bored and not listening. Excessive nodding gives the impression you’ve lost interest and would just want to end the conversation. Tugging the ear means you are undecided. Rubbing the nose shows you don’t agree with what is being said and doubts the concept of the discussion. Kicking lightly or tapping your foot suggests you are completely bored and you’ve exhausted all your patience.

(Irritation) Body Language Signs

A break in eye contact could mean you feel threatened, insulted, irritated or your lies have been exposed. Quick glances into space during a conversation could mean you were irritated by the last statement made.

(Gossip) Body Language Signs

Eyes moving from side to side during a conversation could suggest other people shouldn’t hear or get involved in your discussion, gossip and slander. Once again, a bright or widening eye shows could show a high level of interest in the discussion (gossip). Touching or pulling the ear indicates you are possibly lying about someone or something.

(Being Open) Body Language Signs

Open arms indicates you are approachable, love, show warmth, give affection, is friendly etc. Palms touching the chest could imply your honesty. Upward hand gestures expresses and open and positive message. Smiling also shows you are comfortable, warm, friendly, easy going etc.

(Anxiety) Body Language Signs.

Sweaty palms in some cases reflect anxiety. Fingers crossed could signify hope or a bit of anxiety Clearing the throat or swallowing air could mean a display of anxiety. Tapping or drumming fingers shows impatience and frustration. Biting your fingernails (not the bad habit) indicates nervousness and anxiety. Fiddling with all kinds of items within your reach could mean you are anxious, bored, nervous etc.

(Possible Flirting) Body Language Signs

Sizing up a person from head to toe could mean you are ‘checking them out’. Eyebrows rising and falling means you are attracted to the person you are looking at. Smiling also depicts you are pleased to see the person. Stealing glances or a continuous gaze at someone suggests you have a desire to know that person. Chest up and forward in men symbolizes a show of strength and for women it could be seen as a provocative romantic display. Hips pushed forward while leaning back is a provocative and suggestive gesture. Fixing collars, pulling up socks, hands in pockets are a few ways the male ego manifests.

There are more examples but it would be limited to these ones today. In the mean time, can you relate to any or all of the body language signs above? There are so many other body language signs exclusive to each of us. Do you have any more suggestions?

I look forward to your comments.

Movies have a way of bringing up nostalgic feelings and past memories of previous events in our lives. It is amazing how a movie can cause you to take a mental journey into the past. The scenes, events and plots of certain movies seem to mimic certain encounters we once had in our lives.

A good romance movie will remind you of inspiring times of heartfelt love. They can bring back memories of when you first fell in love or of a time when you were emotionally unstable because of a relationship breakup. We all can identify with certain types of love stories.

Some love and romance stories are based on real life events. The circumstances surround the plots are very similar to the circumstances people face today. Though the scenes and locations of the story may vary, the conditions such as meeting a new person for the first time on a cruise ships are all the same.

The same can be said of true crime stories. I am a big fan of Dateline MBC and every now and then they will do a show on stolen cars. Whenever I watch episodes like those, I am reminded of the day when my own vehicle was stolen and it brings out deep seeded anger. I love it when car thieves are caught.

Comedy or funny movies remind us of the fun times in life. Very often, they take us back to a time when we were involved in something crazy too. It could be as simple as watching the movie Revenge of the Nerds where one college pranks after another was played on a group of nerdy students or as simple as remembering how much fun you had when you play hooky as illustrated in the movie Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.

I love to watch funny movies. They make me feel good and remind me of fun times I had in the past. More than just pranks and joke, funny movies tend to take us back to some of the happiest times in our lives. They bring back memories of functional and not so functional family holiday events and remind us of times when life was not so complicated.

Good movies not only take us back in time, they also inspire us to reach for better things in the future too. They have a tendency to make us feel warm and hopeful when you watch a person achieve enormous success against all odds. After all, who does not like an underdog?

Even more so, an inspiring movie can often teach you some wonderful things about life. They can inspire you to overcome obstacles standing in the way of your success or cause you to dream big. Movies can often tend to be a silent source of encouragement and hope when you really need it.
