1. BE A GOOD OBSERVER
- Know the difference
To be a good observer you should Know the difference between observing and looking. Both are very
different actions. Looking is when you see things without the intent of using it later. You don't
commit anything to memory or try to make meaning of what you see. Observing is seeing what is
around you and keeping it in your mind so you can make meaning out of it or pose questions about
it. To practice observing, do a short meditation where you focus on each of your senses for 1 minute.
Pay attention to what you're seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, and feeling. Doing this exercise will
help you be more in-tune with your surroundings.
-Practice Mindfulness
You have to work on your observation skills. No matter what you're observing, you're going to do it
most effectively when you know your subject. Forcing yourself to pause or slow down, and cutting
out the mental chatter inside your head so that you can train your attention outwards, is essential.
Try using mindfulness to help you focus on observing other people and your surroundings.
The ability to think critically is central to observation. How well you're able to question, reason and
analyse your observations can make or break the value of your work. Thinking is a skill, and there are
many different tools and techniques you can use to develop it.
Your ability to observe depends on how well you concentrate and focus. Try techniques such as
active listening and entering a state of flow, which can help you to focus and to keep distractions to a
minimum. Therefore, it's essential to minimize distractions or to remove them altogether.
-Slow down
To be a good observer, you must slow down. Rushing through your day leaves no time to observe the
world around you. Try taking a certain amount of time every day to notice the world around you. Do
new things or try to see familiar things through a new lens. This can help you work on noticing your
surroundings and taking the time to observe what's around you. Try to remember the model of the
car that park beside you every day. Try new foods and write down the details about the food. Give
yourself time to observe the world around you.
2. BE RELAXED
-Take a break
Relaxation doesn't have to take up lots of your time. Just stepping away from something for a few
minutes or taking time to understand the situation so that you can respond well.
-Smile

inside, you will naturally calm down in any situation and handle it the way you want to. We smile
because we’re happy, and smiling causes the brain to release dopamine, which makes us happier and
relaxed. That does not mean you have to go around with a fake smile plastered on your face all the
time.
When the situation get out of your hand and you don't understand how am i going to make people
laugh. You’re tense, your shoulders are tight, and you feel as though you just might “lose it.” We all
know that feeling. In that moment you have to take a deep breath to calm yourself down. Turns out,
that instinct is a good one. Research. Trusted Source supports the fact that slow breathing and deep

It doesn't matter how charismatic, fun or interesting you are if you don't love and take care of you

present in the moment. Listen when people talk to you. Stop wandering with your thoughts. Focus
on the moment. Be genuinely interested. Have a genuine curiosity for life - By being insanely curious,
you'll learn a tremendous amount about other people. This will help you create bonds and trust.
When people build a real relationship with you, they'll be more likely to open up to you more and
having fun will happen much more naturally and easily.
Go out. Meet new people and increase social engagements and exposure to humans. Joim local
meetup groups, social clubs, or volunteer groups. You'll come in contact with more people and learn
how to communicate with people who have different personalities, ethnicities, and social statuses.

challenges, and mistakes breaks down the defense of others? That's exactly what will make you
appear captivating. Your listeners will be all ears and grow more curious about you as you share your
inner thoughts and feelings. People also find openness and transparency attractive because it helps
build trust. In fact, they'll realize you're totally relatable and may jump at the opportunity to share
their own stories, even dark secrets. Before you know it, you are all having an enjoyable conversation
where you're exchanging ideas or sharing personal experiences.
