How to build up your soft skills

A lot of people have written books and articles about this subject matter, but the fact remains that no matter how many books you read,if you don't put up a practical or conscious effort to build yourself up, it will just end up as added knowledge without impact on you. So to stand out in life .you need to :
     1. Connect with people
      2. Learn good listening skills
      3. Study and use body language
      4. Learn to recognise and manage stress
       5. Manage your energy
       6. Use humour
       7. Be kind to yourself
   These skills are skills that will put you in a valuable position in your school, office, business, family,community,place of worship and everywhere you find yourself.
     😀managing your energy : this is all about how you balance hard work with rest and play. All work and no play makes jack a dull boy. To effectively manage your energy , SCHEDULE IT.   Schedule fun or relaxation activities in advance and stick to them. To be effective on this, you can enlist family and friends to help you unplug.
    Manage your energy so you can manage your time. These days, there are just too much work to do in one day that sometimes  a lot of people end up exhausted with half finished tasks.
   The problem lies in how to keep our energy level high to ensure that you finish at least one of your most important tasks for the day. And the fact remains that what we need is more than time management , we need energy management as well. Discover you high-energy hours , your body clock and then prioritise your task. That way you will become more productive.
       😢 study body languages : know that reading body language is a complex task. As people  are complex so are their nonverbal behaviour. To be able to read a person's body language accurately you may need to study that person for sometime. This is because there is no general rule here . some people when lying , break their eye contact while others try to maintain more eye contact than usual ,when lying. Body language can also differ according to culture,  in some culture, a lowered posture may indicate submission while in some culture it may be a sign or invitation for wrestling.
 However, it is important to understand body language when relating to people  such as facial expression. You can actually develop your ability to accurately interpret happiness, contentment, excitement, anger,sadness,fear,disgust , etc
