Notice body language in a conversation

Observe posture and gestures in one conversation.

Why it helps

Nonverbal cues add context but are easily over-read. Careful observation sharpens social awareness.

How to do it

1. Choose a conversation to observe.
2. Notice posture, eye contact and gestures.
3. Avoid drawing conclusions from one cue.

Make it easier

Observe for a minute.

Make it harder

Notice your own body language too.

Do not treat body language as proof of what someone feels.
