I was browsing the bookstore, then sat down to write today's post, and I saw a book in Michael Ellsberg entitled "The Power of Eye Contact: Your Secret to Success in Business, Love, and Life." I can't put it down. As long as I remember, the way we communicate through our eyes and body language is very interesting to me, probably in part because of how useful it is to read the tools of my sparring partner during the game.
The general message of this book is that the eyes are really the windows of the soul. When we see a person's eyes, we will know very well who they are and what they feel at that moment. They feel the same in us. This is why it is embarrassing to have eye contact with someone. This is a very fragile moment. By making eye contact with another person, you can let them see your true feelings. Not hidden. If you are shy, nervous, depressed, bored, lying - if the other person is paying attention, all of this will show up.
When I read it, I thought about my eye contact and body language experience through martial arts training. I remember how difficult it was to see my sparring partners when I first started watching martial arts, especially if they were better than me. My post is usually also obedient.
Occasionally I began to realize the role of eye contact and body language in my martial arts success, and I began to try to show toughness and confidence in front of training and sparring partners. I feel that I have to build a look for safety and inner strength.
With the passage of time and good training and sparring partners, I have been able to develop a more open reality for my eye contact and body language. I have developed a true sense of inner strength that allows me to work with my training partners, without any insecurity, and to see what is happening, so that I can strategically make a corresponding Decide.
If you want to have this kind of presence in the world, I hope that you will consider martial arts training. There is no better place to develop this openness and vulnerability on martial arts mats or to maintain its deep inner strength, where you will face all the fears and you will face each other and practice with you again and again through them. .
