What Body Language Shows Joy and Happiness?

This is an example of UP body language. Your body language goes upward when you are joyful. UP body language is a term I coined in the field of body language. The photo is of the preview night of the music man on Broadway. Notice how characters are so filled with joy and excitement their feet lift off the ground in unison in the dance. The lift goes up through their bodies so that many also lift their arms high above their heads. When you see this in the theater you are lifted and joyful as you watch it

Can you think of a movie scene or a character or several characters walking or moving upward with happiness that’s a standard drama or comedy rather than a musical?

Tool to Turn off Your Internal Critic and Be Creative.

One of the tools I use to help me when I am stuck on writing a speech on body language or a chapter in a book I am writing or song I am creating is to lie down. Australian National University professor Darren Lipnicki, says that lying down can lead to creative breakthroughs.

"It might be that we have our most creative thoughts while flat on our back," he says. One reason might be that more of the chemical noradrenaline is released while we're standing, and noradrenaline could inhibit our ability to think creatively.

In any case, it's a great excuse to lay back, relax, and just think.

Solution for Migraine Headaches, Stiff Neck and Back Pain.

I am an expert in body language, so I need to stay limber!  I sit a lot, especially when working on a new book. I use a foam roller.

I have two and use them throughout the day whenever I get up from my desk and at night whenever I get up from the couch. So it made a big difference.

I use a short one sometimes just for my neck, but this is the one I use daily.

Can You Fall In Love At First Sight?

As I discuss in my book SNAP First Impressions are highly accurate with a couple of caveats, If you are physically attracted to someone the accuracy of your first impression goes down significantly.

Some of you are saying that explains my first marriage.

According to research, you can fall in love at first sight, especially if you BELIVE you can. Again according to research men are more likely to fall in love at first sight. Men are more likely to do so if the receiver of the love, at first sight, matches their physical ideal of physical attractiveness. And if a man falls in love at first sight and marries, it is more likely to lead to a long-term happy relationship for both members of the couple.

In my book I say, 

In American culture, we decide whether or not we like someone in the first 10 seconds of an interaction. 10 to ninety seconds is not a lot of time we are not exchanging a lot of words. We are exchanging a lot of nonverbal communication. We can exchange up to ten thousand nonverbal cues in less than one minute of interaction. (That is in any minute of interaction) with someone. Obviously, there is no way you can possibly process ten thousand cues at the conscious level you process most of body language cues at the subconscious level. In looking for the right love you need to bring some of that subconscious knowledge up to your conscious control. To notice bodies like you have never noticed bodies before.
