Let’ start –
1. Stay Quiet, Hold Eye Contact till You get an Answer you are Satisfied with
Many a times you’d notice that you are in a conversation with someone and as time goes, it’s definite that there will be some questions thrown, some answers given. You might agree to most of the answers the other person might give but you’d still not be convinced and move ahead to talk about something else. The conversation goes on without your heart or head convinced fully about what other person said.
Well, the simple trick to get the true answers you are seeking would be to keep holding the eye contact with the other person, till they start opening up and tell you what is actual or what exactly happened or how really they feel about the thing you are talking about.
It definitely can create a vibe of awkward tension, may be something that could take them on back seat, or anything else. But that’s the moment they start talking the truth and open up what they really feel or think about it. They do will get the feel that you want to know what’s actual, real and accurate information.
This applies to other side too, if you want to know if someone really wants to understand you, they’ll look into your eye and want to know more about your thoughts and feelings.
2. Yawn! And Get to Know Who’s Watching You.
Have you ever observed that often when we aren’t doing any work and are not focusing on anything, our mind starts noticing nearby environment and in that moment, we tend to think that someone else is watching us or keeping an eye on us? But when we look around, we fail to find it. Even when you pinpoint someone, they might be looking somewhere else and you are still left with the same question… who is watching me?
Well, the simple trick to find answer to your question is to YAWN. Yes, science has proved that yawning is a Contagious Action. Whenever someone watches you yawn, they also start yawning. You definitely would have observed this behaviour but now since you know this trick, you can try it out to find who is watching you.
3. Have Less Options When You Can’t Decide.
Life puts us in several situations when you don’t know what to do. You are filled with choices to make, actions to do, responsibilities to handle, and many such activities wherein you have got to make a decision and get the work done. And with several options around, deciding what to do and which choice to make, it becomes hell of a task.
As human, we always feel the more, the merrier. This makes us feel that we have all resources in hand and can tackle any situation. But this concept of having all options has been proved futile by Psychologists by several studies. The study was done in following manner.
24 Jars of different varieties of Jams were being sold for $1 each. Next day they only kept 6 of those and sold for $1 each.
Can you guess which day their sales were higher? The answer is – Day 2. Why? Well imagine you went into that sale and saw 24 options, you’d get confuse which one to buy, and 90% of the time you’ll end up buying nothing. On the contrary with 6 variants to choose from, there will be 60%-70% of chance that you’ll end up buying 1 or 2 variants.
This proves that the more you have choices, the more your energies are spent and the more your time is wasted. And that also makes you prone to choose wrong option. That’s why keep it a habit to have less options and quality ones, so you have less to think and more to work.
4. Check Eye Colour for Instant Charisma.
