The Body Language of No

from The Simba Mindset

In 1981, researchers filmed random people walking down the street and showed the footage to incarcerated criminals. Shockingly, the same people were chosen as targets every time not based on looks or gender, but on how they moved.Your body is already setting boundaries. The question is whether it's setting the ones you actually want.In this episode, we break down the nonverbal signals that communicate confidence or vulnerability before you say a single word and walk through exactly how to align your posture, eye contact, voice, and movement with the boundaries you're trying to hold.You'll also hear real boundary scripts for the situations most people struggle with: the last-minute invite, the draining friend, the pushy family member, and the co-worker who keeps adding to your plate.Because saying no is a skill. And like every skill, it takes practice.Learn more by visiting: https://www.thebodylanguagetraininginstitute.com/Take action and strengthen your mind with The Resilient Mind Journal.
