Open Mind - You need to maintain an open mind and be a blank
slate yourself. Having preconceived notions or prejudice is only
going to cloud your judgment, and it could lead you to misread
the situation.
Think Big Picture - Instead of focusing on every single body
language gesture that’s taking place, think of the bigger picture
and do a comprehensive bodily scan instead, putting all your
information together before drawing any conclusions.
The benefit of the Doubt - Try to give someone the benefit of
the doubt before you make assumptions about the emotions that
they’re feeling. Remember to observe the context and the
environment too, since this could be having an impact on their
emotional state. If you’re still unsure about the signals you’re
getting based on their facial and body cues, consider asking them
instead if everything is alright.
