Every gesture tells a story

Cada gesto cuenta una historia

Cuando nosotros pensamos acerca del lenguaje o comunicación, usualmente lo relacionamos con hablar. Pero nuestros gestos y movimientos, en otras palabras nuestro lenguaje corporal nos dice mucho más que nuestras palabras. El lenguaje corporal nos dice qué estamos pensando o sintiendo.

Un psicólogo experto dice que las palabras son sólo el 7% de nuestra comunicación, mientras que el 93% restante lo hacen señales silenciosas. Los niños lo entienden naturalmente, pero a medida que hacemos énfasis en las palabras, vamos perdiendo la habilidad de captar y entender el lenguaje kinésico. Los adultos son muy buenos en decir palabras que no significan lo que ellos quieren expresar. El lenguaje corporal trabajo en conjunto con el lenguaje verbal, pero a veces son contradictorios.

Por ejemplo, una persona puede decir que está de acuerdo contigo, pero al mismo tiempo está corriendo la silla hacia atrás y se aparta de ti. Cuando físicamente se distancian de ti, es porque está expresando un desacuerdo.

Algunas personas son muy buenas mintiendo con su lenguaje corporal, dice el psicólogo. Por ejemplo, los políticos aprender a usar ciertos gestos para tener una mejor impresión acerca de ellos. Pero ellos no son tan exitosos como esperan. Antes de creer en lo que la cara de una persona te dice debes moverte hacia atrás y ver todo su cuerpo, para ver que te dice, entre más te alejes de su cara más veraz será.

Algunos gestos faciales, sin embargo, las hacemos instintivamente. Por ejemplo, las pupilas de tus ojos se dilatan cuando se sienten atraídos por alguien. Una gran parte del lenguaje corporal es inconciente. Si queremos usar y entender gestos exitosamente, nosotros necesitamos ser concientes de sus distintos significados.

Ver el lenguaje corporal en nosotros mismos y en otras personas nos ayuda a comunicarnos mejor. Si tú logras aprender a descifrar y usar el lenguaje corporal bien, va a ser tan fluido como el lenguaje verbal.

Seven, students, apologize, night, slowly, supervisor.

Fireman, false, turn off, ears, hurt, school police, strange.

Key, turn off, alarm, ears, rescue, school police, supervisor, false.

Well in first place if we were Jennifer, we would be very scared, because the noise would be very loud. We would run very fast, because the fire might reach us and we would be dead. But we think that if any person in the school was inside, we would be brave and would enter and look up everywhere some person who needed our help, because sometimes is important think in other person besides in myself. We called the fireman because we don’t do something with fire, because we don’t have the tools to attack the fire. But we won’t know it until happen.
