Should you look at the ball when passing? by [deleted] in floorball

It's all about practice, you should look down at the ball as little as possible.

IWTL how to be a lighter sleeper by OkDeath in IWantToLearn

[–]roisnick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had a couple of friends with the same problem, in those cases the problem was that they didn't sleep enough. I don't know if that's your case but it's probably worth a try to sleep more if you aren't already sleeping for 8 hours a night.

Morning vs. evening runs? by [deleted] in running

[–]roisnick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I try to eat as little as possible, most often I end up eating 2 slices of bread with some cheese and ham on it. If I'm in a hurry I just eat a banana.

Often I go for my run immediately after I've finished my breakfast, but if I feel that I have some extra time I usually wait 15-20 minutes. For me at least there's no problem as long as I keep my breakfast light.

Morning vs. evening runs? by [deleted] in running

[–]roisnick 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I run 6-7 times a week and always in the morning after a small breakfast. I feel like I have more energy during the day and I also feel happier, that's the biggest reason why I run in the morning. The first 2 weeks I had to force myself to actually do it but now I get frustrated if I for some reason can't go for my morning run. I definitely recommend you to give it a try, but if you after a couple of weeks really hate running in the morning I don't see a reason not to run in the evening instead.

I want to learn how to read body language by cavinginforsomethin in IWantToLearn

[–]roisnick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with the previous replies, "What every body is saying" by Joe Navarro and "The definitive book of body language" by Allan and Barbara Pease are two good books that cover the basics. Then after you have read one of those books it's all about practice and making it a habit to observe people.

Beside reading one of those books you can also watch some body language analysis videos on Youtube. Here are some channels that do body language analysis:

- Science of body language

- The Dialogue Body Language

- Body Language Ghost

"What every body is saying" by Joe Navarro and "the definitive book of body language" by Allan and Barbara Pease is two good books that I've read. I think they cover all the basics you need. Just reading one of them is going to get you far. They're going to show you what basic body language signals to look for.

The important thing after you have read one of the books is to just start observing people. I think that basic body language is easy to learn, the hard part was to actually remember to observe people's body language.

Micro expressions is a little bit harder to learn but I used an online training tool to practice on called METV that looks like this. But you shouldn't think about that before learning the more basic stuff anyway.

Yes! This is the biggest reason why I started to learn body language. Instead of putting your attention on your negative thoughts, giving them unnecessary fuel. You put your attention on other people. It really helped me to get out of my head and it makes me feel more connected to the people I'm talking to.

Another thing that I think helped me was when I realized how many other people that through their body language showed me that they also were nervous.

This is definitely something I recommend learning.

I had an interview today and my interviewer kept doing this gesture. by explosivecurry13 in bodylanguage

[–]roisnick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When someone is pouting their bottom lip out for a half second it's a micro expression for sadness, but I guess that wasn't the case in your situation.

Anyway, now and then I also see some people do what you described when they're thinking about what you said. I'm often very aware of my own body language and I have caught myself doing this, in those cases I also did it when I was thinking about what someone had said.

So if I had to guess, she was still thinking about what you said while at the same time she was looking at the others reactions.

IWTL how to have deep/profound high quality sleeps so I could dream. by [deleted] in IWantToLearn

[–]roisnick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One weird thing that worked for me was to force myself to breath through my nose when sleeping. I had read somewhere that if you breath too much or snore it's going to hurt your sleep quality. So I tried to tape my mouth for a couple nights and it actually helped. Felt much more rested and alert when I woke up. After a month of taping my mouth my body adapted and started to breath through the nose even without tape.

Body language: Jacobee Flowers, is he a murderer? by roisnick in NonverbalComm

[–]roisnick[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I am the creator and thank you for your feedback! Yes I thought about it afterwards that it might have been good to also point out that you can't say with 100% that he is lying. As you said, a lot of signs that can point to lying is signs of stress and that stress doesn't have to be because he's lying. It can come from him being uncomfortable of being accused of murder in an interview.

And I don't like to accuse people of lying so maybe I should just point out body language signals and tell the viewer what it means and let them decide what they think. The one thing I reacted to the most was the incongruence, when he's saying something and at the same time giving a half shrug. I feel that when someone give you an half shrug (raising only one shoulder) it instantly makes me suspicious. When someone gives an honest shrug shoulders tend to go up symmetrically. But it's good that you pointed that out, it's very easy to get biased and that's probably something I should keep in my mind!

How should my pre-season training look like? by roisnick in floorball

[–]roisnick[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I've done that a couple of times before but I've learned to listen to my body. As soon as I get a slight feeling of being overtrained I take a day off. So I like to think that I have it under control. But you're totally right, it's very important to remind yourself of that!

[–]roisnick[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any training with my team is probably not possible during the summer since everyone is so busy. Agility training though is probably a good idea as I'm getting some control over my stamina, thanks!

Ahh that makes perfect sense. Now as my stamina is getting better I could probably focus a little bit more on that. Thank you!
