Body Language
Do you know you speak all the time? Even when you are asleep, your mind is occupied with thought. When you wake up in the morning, you are already thinking. Even your body speaks. It’s called body language. Body speak is very common, you hardly notice it, but it clues you in subliminally. In a nutshell, it’s how you present yourself.
Facial expressions are part of body language. A smile, a frown, a look, a question are all part of speaking with your look. These things say if you are relaxed, stressed, doing something stupid, or not making any sense at all. The face is invested with body language. There is a lot to the art of nonverbal communication.
Have you ever gotten a sarcastic sideways look from your significant other? Has he/she plopped down your tea as though he/she was slamming the car door and you just wish they’d just let you get it yourself? Yep, body language is a legitimate form of communication. The more pointed it is, the better it is. Body language is subtle most of the time, but when it comes like hail on a humid day; it will bring a very different message and shift your state of mind.
Some of the best actors are masters of body language. Remember the posture of Russell Crowe as Maximus in Gladiator, when he was spitefully told that his son squealed like a girl when they nailed him to the cross and that his wife, moaned like a whore when they ravaged her multiple times. His body spoke loudly of a prideful forsaken man, consumed with despair. Remember Denzel Washington in Glory, where he played Private Trip an ex-slave soldier? When he got caught while trying to secure good boots, so he could march? He got whipped on charges of trying to dessert on his whipped scared back from his time as a slave. How he looked at his commanding officer determined not to give not so much as a flinch, but a single tear escapes him anyway. Body language is a powerful thing. And hockey player Teemu Selanne at the 2005 Winter Olympics? The Fins lost
