article: Watch to see if they are hanging their arms loosely at their sides or frantically gesturing in the air while talking. Try to incorporate some of these movements into your own style. This might mean moving your hands more or maybe keeping them more still. For example, if you are talking with someone who keeps their hands buried in their pockets, then mirror this movement. Look at your conversation partner, or the entire group, to see if they are acting casual or more formal. Are their spines straight and heads at attention? Or, are they leaning in various relaxed positions? Mirror the formality of the other people who you are around to show that you fit in. If you're in a meeting and everyone else is sitting up straight in their chairs, then scoot a little forward in your chair and straighten your spine. If your conversation partner is standing with their arms crossed, then you'll want to weigh whether or not you want to appear equally closed off before copying their posture. This is a more subtle way to get in sync with a conversation partner. Observe them closely to see if they are breathing from deep in their chest or more shallowly from their diaphragm. Try to match the pace of their inhalations and exhalations. You'll also find that this helps to create natural breaks and pauses in the conversation. If the person you are talking to is more shy and retiring, then talking with them in a hyper or enthusiastic way could be overwhelming for them. Similarly, if you are talking with an exuberant person, then being very soft-spoken might lead to one-sided conversation. This doesn't mean that you must change your entire personality or way of interacting. Instead, try to strike a balance that lets you bond with the other person successfully. For example, if your conversation partner tends to speak softly when discussing serious matters, follow their lead if you have something important to add. A person who speaks in quiet, soft tones can feel steamrolled by a loud and boisterous counterpart. Raise or lower your voice until you notice that the person who you are talking to is actually paying attention to what you are saying. If your partner is a fast-talker, you may need to speed up, too. In some situations, the other person may be talking softly out of respect for their surroundings, such as in a museum or church. Showing the same situational respect is a way to instantly build rapport.

article: We often see what we want to see in people, and what we see is often wrong. Instead of going with your gut or first impression of someone, really pay attention to their body language as well as their words to get a sense of who they are. The more you get to know the person, the better you'll become at being able to tell when something is off with them. If you have a bad feeling about someone, it's okay to be careful around them, but don't let it prevent you from being a kind person. They may be perfectly nice, but just socially awkward or perhaps from a different culture. You don't have to become close friends or share your deepest secrets in fact, if you have a bad feeling about them, definitely don't do those things. Over time, you'll get to know them better and will be better able to judge whether your intuition was right. Some hunches are best left unsaid for the sake of your relationships. If you do decide to test whether your hunch is correct by bringing it up with a friend/partner/colleague, choose your wording wisely. For example, if you have a hunch that your partner thinks someone else is attractive, but there isn't any danger of them actually acting on those feelings, it might be best to let them have their crush instead of accusing them of liking someone else and getting into a fight. As long as it's only a passing attraction and nothing more, it's perfectly natural. If you're prone to anxiety and worry, you're more likely to intuit when those close to you are having negative thoughts and feelings, but you're less likely to be able to tell when they're having positive feelings. Dwelling on the negative, and talking about those negative hunches, can sabotage your relationships.

article:
Go to an arcade or a movie, go shopping, do anything that will get your mind off of things for a little while. Just make sure you don't go anywhere or do anything that will remind you of your ex. Distract yourself by focusing on and helping others. Studies show that the happiest people are ones who give the most to others. When you're depressed, anxious or stressed, there is a high degree of focus on the self. Focusing on other people literally shifts your thinking and your mood from victimhood to empowerment. Clear your head with physical activity. It has been proven that staying active and indulging in physical activity releases endorphins - the happy hormones. A strong body can lead to a strong mind. Join a gym, running group, or intramural team. Take up a physical activity you've always wanted to try but never got around to doing, like spinning, rock climbing, or yoga. Try to go for walks in the evening or take your dog out. A little fresh air can go a long way when your brain is taxed and your heart is weary. Take advantage of the extra time and freedom you now have. Find out what you love doing besides your regular job. Plant trees, learn music or take a cooking class. Learning something new boosts your confidence and can be rejuvenating. Get away from your current environment, whether that means taking a day trip to the beach or going for a hike, or going to Europe or South America for a few weeks. You might not feel better immediately, but being in a different space will give you a different frame of mind. Research has shown that just being outside your home can improve your health, since environmental factors are reliably related to depression, anxiety, and anger. You might have had goals for yourselves as a couple; instead, now you can set your own goals for yourself and your life. Thinking about goals is a productive part of reconfiguring your life without that other person. These goals might be in terms of your education, job, social or family life, or hobbies or activities. You can make a list, which will help give you direction and much-needed forward momentum in your life (and less time to dwell on the past!). See the end of the relationship not necessarily as an end, but as the chance for a fresh start for YOU. Get organized. Figure out what (and maybe who!) you want in life and go after it!
