Insights from Patti Wood, Body Language Expert

How do you know what types of people belong together?

If you look on my blog at Bodylanguaeglady@blogspot.com and put in "couples body language or couple body language” or pick up this week’s Life & Style and go to the Couple Heart Rating page you will see how I analyze peoples' body language to tell how they are doing and predict what will happen. I read from the feet up as the feet are the most honest portion of the body and the feet point to where the heart wants to go. I look at where the pelvis is pointing to see the sexual connection and the hands to see the heart connections and so much more.

Stress and Finding Balance Tip

1.      What do you do for fun? Ask people that you meet what they do for fun or if you know them what have they done recently for fun. Watch how their body language changes. It is so much fun. You may see someone's shoulders go back. A facial expression “face lift”, A head tilt up. In Paris it is rude to ask someone what they do for a living. You ask them what they do for fun. Have you made any fun lately?

Insights from Patti Wood, Body Language Expert

What about your style or technique differentiates you from your fellow love and body language  expert peers in your coaching.

Hands on learning. So I will observe them. Have them do "self checks" work with them in the mirror, go through role plays and exercises,  send them out on assignments, go out with them and video tape and coach. My clients often say that when they thought about being coached they were scared or thought it would be boring or they couldn't change so quickly and found out that when they found me and started working that they were surprised that we laugh a lot and that they can learn so much so quickly.

Stress and Finding Balance Tip

1.      Change stress to challenge. When you find yourself saying or thinking, "I am so busy" or "I am overwhelmed," replace those thoughts with positive ideas, such as:

 I am getting so much done.

 I feel so challenged lately.

 I am learning how much I can get done in a day.

 I have things I can accomplish easily and so much to be grateful for.

When I do the things I need to do I feel better.

I will do one thing right now.

Say the new thought out loud putting your body language in the position that makes you feel that way

Stress and Finding Balance Tip

1.      Create reminders in your day to take time to breathe deeply. Your reminder could be a red light, a raised voice, your own yawn, soreness or pain in any part of your body, the hour changing on the computer clock, the urge for a snack or drink a cup of coffee. Try this full breaking technique. Breathe in on a count of three, hold for a count of three and breathe out on a count of three.
