1 . When meeting someone for the first time, who won’t know you habitually frown if you’re concentrating, you will be misunderstood.     1     Here are four more.

Ignore the context

    2     Depending on the context, the same nonverbal signals can take on totally different meanings. People can’t really understand someone’s nonverbal message unless they understand the circumstances behind it. If you yawn in a staff meeting because you were up early for an international business call —let people know why you’re tired.

Find meaning in a single gesture

People often try to evaluate your state of mind by monitoring your body language. But they take more notice of any single sign that indicates you’re in a bad mood and not to be approached.     3     So when you are standing with your arms folded for your comfort, others may judge your body language as resistant and unapproachable.

Evaluate you through the biases (偏见)

A neighbour likes me from the moment we met. Before long. I know it’s because I resemble her favorite aunt. That’s how biases can work —the so-called “halo effect.” But biases can also work against you. What if you remind people of someone they dislike? In that case, their original response to you wouldn’t be a good one.     4    

Compare your behavior with their culture

Most of culture’s values are absorbed unconsciously at an early age. Such values affect how people think and act, and more importantly, the kind of criteria by which people judge others.     5     For instance, people’s greetings, hand gestures etc. vary with cultures.

Therefore, there are many mistakes people make when reading your body language. Under-standing them, and trying not to make the same mistakes, will help you display nonverbal ability.

A．Nonverbal signals are very common in our daily life.

B．They would even look for your behavior that confirmed this bias.

C．What they didn’t realize was that, for this individual, it was a normal behavior.

D．In fact, people easily make mistakes reading and reacting to others’ body language.

E．What’s proper and correct in one culture may be ineffective or even rude in another.

F．Besides, they often assign meaning to negative messages than it does to positive ones.

G．Context includes locations, relationships, time, experience, and even room temperature.

5 . Good Habits to Help You Feel Inspired Daily

Remember that your daily routine (日常生活) isn’t set in stone. You can test the structure of your day and improve it based on what works best for you. Here are a few ideas:

Morning affirmations. Affirmations are repeated words or phrases that clearly show positive changes. You can repeat affirmations(肯定) to feel confident.     1     .

Take breaks. Taking breaks throughout the day improves brain function, learning, and productivity.     2    . Then you can return to your day with a fresh perspective.

    3    . Set aside a little time each day to express yourself. A study found that creative activities have short-term benefits, like boosting your mood and reducing stress.     4    . Look for a creative hobby, like journaling, creative writing, dance, drawing, painting, music, anything that makes you shine!

End-of-day ritual. Just as morning ritual sets the tone for the day ahead, an evening routine prepares your body for a restful night’s sleep. Enjoy a cup of tea a couple of hours before you go to sleep. Herbal teas like chamomile (洋甘菊) have calming effects to ease you into a good night’s rest.

Blue light from devices, like your TV or phone, disturbs sleep patterns.     5    . Turn your phone on “do not disturb” at least 30 minutes before bed. Dim the lights or use candles to further reduce the bright lights of daytime.

A．Express yourself.

B．Share your opinion with others.

C．A good night’s sleep does benefit you.

D．For example: “I am happy, healthy, and strong.”

E．This can lead to sleep disorders that make it difficult to fall asleep.

F．Over time, you’ll also prevent disease and have a more positive outlook.

G．A break can mean a five-minute walk, a short meditation, or a moment to sit in the sunshine with a cup of tea.

8 . There are things we all do, or don’t do, that lead us to waste far more time than we realize in the moment. The biggest time regret, I think, is dwelling on (沉湎于) mistakes and shortcomings.

    1     In a study, researchers asked subjects to spend money during an imaginary trip to the mall. Before “shopping”, some subjects were asked to recall a past financial mistake. They found those subjects were more likely to incur (招致) debt. Dwelling made them feel like a failure and told them there was no need to try, because they already sucked. So, they got further into debt when already feeling like an over spender. Of course, we don’t want to skip over our mistakes or ignore them either.     2    

I also missed too much for fear of my own shortcomings.     3     I wanted to travel after high school, but I went to university close to home instead, because I was too shy to meet new people and was afraid I couldn’t make it in another city. After university, I wanted to be a writer, but I decided to find a more stable, accessible job instead, because that’s easier.     4     I decided to find work I actually enjoyed, travel more and live somewhere else. I made a ton of mistakes along the way, but the bigger mistake was not trying sooner.

    5     So, never beat yourself up over your mistakes and shortcomings. The sooner you learn from them, the sooner you can free up your time and energy to live the life you want.

A．Eventually, I got tired of this.

B．Regret is another big waste of time.

C．I was doing it for the wrong reason that I was afraid to fail.

D．For years, I stayed in a comfortable place, doing things I disliked.

E．The goal is to learn something from them, and then release the failure.

F．When you finally relate it to your own past experiences, it probably becomes easier.

G．Dwelling on mistakes wastes time and, worse still, makes us more likely to repeat mistakes.
