In this article I'm going to tell you one of the most important skills that you can add to your arsenal. The ability to read anyone in any situation by looking at their body language, because although we humans have been using verbal communication for thousands of years our most transparent form of communication is still body language.

People can hide their true intentions easily with words. But it's extremely difficult for them to do so with their body. A study conducted by MIT found that it was possible to predict the outcomes of negotiations sales meetings and business plan pitches with 87% accuracy by only observing the participants body language, without having to listen to a single word of content by improving your ability to read body language you will understand how anyone feels at any point in time. This is an extremely powerful skill as it allows you to make more friends, make more sales, figure out who likes you, figure out who doesn't and even use these skills on yourself to display more confidence and authority. It's almost as good as having the superpower to read minds.

In this article I'm going to tell you some signs that you can detect in Legs and Feet. And I'll cover the other part of the body in an another article.

Legs and Feet

We'll start with the easiest part of the body. To read your legs and feet. They are considered to be the most honest part of the body and this is because the feet are usually the first part of the body to react to a change in your environment. On top of that people who are lying or trying to conceal their real emotions tend to focus on their face and hands. Put little to no effort into changing the way their feet are situated.

Happy Feet

This is when you bounce or wiggle your feet and this often indicates excitement or satisfaction. However this behavior can also communicate in patience. There are many body language signs like this that can mean different things depending on the context around them. I'll discuss in this concept in detail in the second half of this video.

Lifted Feet 

This is when the toes on your feet are pointing upwards while standing or when one of  your heels are lifted while standing and this usually indicates happiness excitement and interest.

Feet shifting direction 

We turn our feet away from the things that we don't want or like. People can manually control the direction of their head and torso. But most of the time their feet will point away if they don't want to be there. If you are already talking to someone and their feet suddenly turns away it might indicate that they dislike something you have just said. But don't take this sign too personally as there is many cases in which they simply have somewhere to be, such as an appointment or lunch date.

The Knee Clasp 

This is when someone who is sitting places with both their hands on their knees and shifts their body forward. This is an indicator that they are ready to leave. How wide of a stance you have while standing is a good indicator of confidence.

Standing Width 

Someone who are standing with their feet , shoulder-width apart feels and looks more confident than looks more confident that someone who stands with your feet close together. A general rule of thumb to note when reading language is that the more space someone takes up, the more confident they are. This concept also applies while sitting. Sitting with your legs apart is a good indicator of  confidence and comfort.

The Standing Leg Cross 

This is when you are standing with your legs crossed. And this indicates that you are extremely comfortable and this is because by crossing your feet you'll have a much harder time running away from a threat. This body language sign is a great way to help people around you relax. you'll also find that people will usually cross their legs , so they tilt in the direction of the person that they like the most or whoever makes them feel the most comfortable.

Shoe Play

For many of us waking up early is a huge pain in the ass. Some of us like to address this problem by setting alarm clocks. But then we often find ourselves feeling tired and sluggish. So how exactly does one wake up early and not feel tired. There are three things you need to do when you wake up early every single day filled with energy.

1. Control your lighting

The first is to control your lighting. Sleep is regulated by the hormone melatonin which is affected by the light that hits your skin. A long time ago, before the invention of electric lighting. Our bodies use this method to allow us to stay awake when the sun was out and, allow us to feel tired and rest when the sun went down. However nowadays there is artificial lighting everywhere in our rooms and on our screens and on our phones. We are constantly bombarding our body with white light which prevent the production of melatonin. This is why we have such a hard time falling sleep. Because at ours way past sunset, we still have these screens and indoor lights blasting us with a ton of white light. The best way to combat this is by installing an app called F.LUX app on your computer, also called Twilight on your phone. This app changes the lighting on your phone throughout the day. So when the sun start to set it changes the light on your screen from white light to yellow light which simulate the sun setting and allows melatonin to be produced naturally. lighting is also very important when it comes to feeling energized and awake in the morning. You want to keep your blinds open so that when the sun rises the natural white light can hit your body and prevent additional production of melatonin, this will prevent you from feeling sleepy in the morning.

2. Use your bed for sleep

The second tip is to only use your bed for one thing and one thing only, which is to sleep. A lot of us like to browse our phone in bed or watch tv and even eat. And this is bad because our brains look for cues for habits. What this mean is that when you do any of these activities in your bed, your brain starts to associate your bed with eating or watching shows and this causes you to feel cravings such as hunger. So when you use your bed for only sleep, your brain starts to associate it with only sleep. So the moment when you lay in bed instead of feeling hungry or excited due to constantly watching shows or eating in bed, you feel tired if you find yourself having a hard time to fall sleep it's perfectly okay to read a book. Reading isn't nearly as stimulating as browsing thought your phone or watching TV so you find yourself feeling sleepy in no time.




3. Get enough sleep

The last tip is hands down the most important and it is going to sound rather obvious. It's getting enough sleep. The truth of the matter is if you are not getting enough sleep it doesn't matter what trich you poke you will wake up feeling tired your body needs a certain amount of sleep to function properly. It's just a biological fact so what you need to do is you need to count back nine ours from when you need to wake up and set that as your bed time so lets say that you have to leave for work or school at 8 am. then you need to go to sleep at 10 pm. So you can wake up at 7 am and you have one hour to get ready. It's like common sense, but the trick is to always head to bed around the same time every single day. If you do that then you naturally start feeling tired at around 9pm or 10pm which makes it very easy to go to bed and fall sleep on time.

If you follow these three concepts you'll find yourself waking up earlier and feeling better in no time. If you find this article useful feel free to share this with you friends. And please share like and comment!
