Body language can convey the impression of a readiness to take action. Whilst this is always observable in the physical sense it can be further categorised as being ‘readiness for physical exertion’ or ‘readiness for social interaction’. Such states of readiness influence the person’s whole body, tone of voice, and what impression they convey through their body language. A state of increased readiness may also be referred to as being in a state of high energy or intensity. Relative to states of unreadiness, most states of readiness typically involve a deeper breathing pattern, increased excitation of the nervous system, and an increased heart rate. Such physiological effects also influence the person’s skin and its fullness of appearance. In relative terms, a person’s skin will usually look fuller and more taut whilst in a state of readiness, and thinner and more flaccid in a state of unreadiness. A readiness for physical exertion typically means that these effects are increased further in terms of their intensity and visual prominence.
