Being mindful means eating in a smart way and finishing what's on your plate. Fix broken things instead of throwing them away, and stay away from one-time use items like plastic cups. Use things that can be used more than once, like water bottles and bags, and encourage people to recycle. Composting food scraps helps cut down on waste. Together, we can help the earth by getting people to donate and teaching others about these things. Choose items that don't come in a lot of packaging to reduce waste. Accept the idea of upcycling, which means using things in creative new ways. Say no to printing too much and choose digital options instead. Pick solid items over disposable ones to make things last longer. Manage e-waste effectively by using the right ways to get rid of it. Choose eco-friendly goods on purpose and teach your friends how to encourage a culture of reducing waste.

According to some experts, a staggering 93 percent of our daily communication is non-verbal. Facial expressions are easy to decipher. One can readily detect happiness, sadness, anger. Physicians can tell a patient is doing well (or not) by looking at his/her face. Eye contact is another type of non-verbal communication, which can tell a lot about the other person. The eyes convey a range of emotions-happiness, sadness, boredom, surprise, confidence .......... even emotional interest. Staring at someone's forehead may intimidate the recipient, staring at the mouth is sometimes interpretated as a sign of emotional interest. In fact, staring into someone's eyes is a sign of lying, and so is looking away. In certain cultures, lack of eye contact is taken as a sign of respect. If body language is to be defined, it is a combination of facial expression, gestures, eye contact, body movements and posture and voice. Frequent blinking is a sign of the person feeling distressed or uncomfortable. If the pupils are dilated, it ofter indicates interest, even emotional interest. The lips also reflect our body language, and lip biting indicates worry and/or anxiety; tightening of the lips may be an indication of disapproval. Slightly turned-up lips indicate happiness and slightly turned-down lips indicate sadness. |
