How to Improve Communication Through Body Language
Communication was become a very important part of our life. It would be
unimaginable how chaotic the world would be without communication. Even primitive people tried to find ways to communicate when things much simpler then. Surprisingly, studies have shown that only up to an estimated 10 percent of our communication is verbal. The majority of the rest of communication is unspoken. Incidentally, this explains to us why sometimes we have a difficulty in understanding other person’s speech, even when we are speaking face-to-face with him/her. This also explains to us why we need to improve our ability to communicate through body language. Moreover, pay attention to what others’ gesture say, make and maintain eye contact, and give people room and keep out of their distance are probably some ways in body language that we can do to help us improve our ability to communicate with others. Pay attention to what others’ gesture say is an essential thing to build a good communication. It is because gestures – the movement of our parts of body such as arms, head, or face – tend to have a far greater association with speech and language. The language usually rich in ways for individuals to express a variety of feelings and thoughts, from contempt and hostility to approval and affection. For example, we will know if the person we are talking to is losing interest in what we are saying if he starts looking at his watch, shaking his leg, or tapping his foot. Furthermore, if people are shaking their heads while we are speaking, it means that they are in agreement. But when people crossing their arms over their chest, it could translates that they are not understand what we are saying to or it also can be seen as defensive or as an end to the conversation. Similarly to what we have to do with others’ gesture, make and maintain eye contact will also help us to improve communication with others. Through eye contact we can establish trust since it equates to touching someone with our eyes and helps to build a bridge between ourself and the person we are speaking to. In addition, eye contact also has an important role in regulating conversational interactions. Maintain a focus eye contact develops confidence and help us understand what the other person is really saying. It also conveys a message of interest in the other person and that you are paying attention. For instance, if you don’t look someone in the eyes while speaking, this can be intepreted as dishonesty or hiding something. Likewise, shifting eye movement or rapid changing of focus / direction can translate similarly. Another way to improve communication is to give people room and keep out of their space. Since many people like their own personal body space, entering to close can be intrusive and viewed as aggressive. This personal body space thing is also known as social distance. The social distance here are approximate, of course and will vary with different groups of people. We can detects this by watching people’s reactions. If we feel safe and they seem not to feel safe, then back off. If they invade our space, decide whether to invade back or act otherwise. Turning sideways is an easy alternative for this, as a person to the side is less threatening than a person at the same distance in front of us. People who live in towns, for example, spend more time close to one another and so their social distances may compact somewhat. While in a large and crowded city, the distances will be less than in a small town. In conclusion, communication is not just characterized by words. Sometimes, action speak louder than words and body language is the meaning behind the words or the unspoken language. Therefore, we need some ways in body language that can be applied to help with the understanding or translating of these unspoken meanings. What the other gestures say, the way we maintain eye contact, and the way we keep our social distance are some ways in body language that we can applied to help us understanding these unspoken meanings in order to improve our communication with others.
