We use it everyday, and sometimes we don't even realize it. Non- Verbal communication has made a big impact in our daily interactions towards individuals we socialize with. This particular way of communication involves nothing but body language, physical appearance, gestures, aesthetics, signs and symbols, and even our SCENT.
  
"It's Not Said, It's Done"
Body Language 

We always want to look engaged in the conversations we are sharing with others or when listening to someones information. Whether you take notice to your own body motions or not, it is very likely to take place. Slouching for example or losing eye contact is never the best look during conversations; this just shows the speaker that you are not interested or focused in what they could be talking about and that they might be tiring you. It is important to give complete attention and eye contact to whom ever is speaking, in order to show your interest and is also a sign of respect. Along with body language, a persons tone of voice shows how they could be feeling towards ones thoughts and opinions or even there own emotions. How many times can we say we've done that? I know when I'm happy, I usually talk in an enthustiastic tone of voice rather than a low tone of voice when I'm grumpy or mad. How do you use body language?
