49 :: “Eye to Eye” 👀

Whether figuratively or literally, there are many benefits of connecting with good eye contact because it’s one of the easiest and most powerful ways to make a person feel recognized, understood and validated, says an Art of Charm article. The simple act of holding someone’s gaze — whether it’s a new girl, a prospective employer or an old friend — has the power to ignite or deepen a relationship. That’s why it’s so important, and that’s why it’s one of the fundamental skills we emphasize so strongly at The Art of Charm. To understand why eye contact is so important, we need to appreciate how central it is to the human experience. As it happens, humans — the only primates with white eyes — are drawn to eye contact from an early age. A 2002 study from MIT found that infants were far more likely to try and follow an adult’s eyes rather than just their head movements. And beyond the science, think about your personal experience: We study people’s eyes to judge their character, we notice when someone meets our gaze, and we are highly conscious of where our eyes wander. Eye contact is deeply rooted in our DNA. In fact, you’re reading this article in large part because your caveman ancestors had an intuitive mastery of eye contact. Back then, eye contact meant the difference between life and death, attraction and indifference. . 💜 Love and light... xoxo, Bella 💜 https://linktr.ee/yoursoulpassion #yoursoulpassion #divorcedwomen #divorcedmoms #divorcinganarcissist #bossmom #bossladymindset #loveyourself #selflove #selflovejourney #selfparenting #mompreneur #singlemoms #singlemomlife #singlemomsclub #datingafterdivorce #lifecoach #womensupportingwomen #podcast #womenempowerment #divorcecoach #divorcedlife #mompreneuer #newyear
