Our Nonverbal Language

"Before we blink, we know each other.  We speak before we speak, with eyes and lips, in how we tip our heads, in how we lean like trees tired of waiting for the sun. We tell our whole story before we even open our mouths."  Mark Nepo

It is said that first impressions are what gets a person hired for employment, and that those first impressions happen in the first 5 seconds!  5 seconds and the people with whom we are interacting have already formed an opinion of who we are.
It is good to keep that information in mind as we meet and interact with people, and to make those first 5 seconds speak in the way we want them to speak.  I heard someone say recently that we should sit "regally".  What a lovely idea.  What if we inhabited our bodies in honor and humility?  It is such rare good fortune to have been born human --- let us honor that by inhabiting our bodies with honor and humility.
