Dare to Self Improve

Think about the people whom you touch (in any sense). One of the reasons people shake hands, give high fives, hug each other etc when first greeting, is that it breaks down the comfort barrier. Obviously with hand shakes this is minimal, but it’s still something.

The people we touch without hesitation or reservation are usually friends and family right? That’s because we have a lot of comfort with them. The great thing about touch, is that we can use it in reverse to BUILD comfort with people whom we meet! Touching is so powerful and immediately makes people feel warmer towards you.

For example, when passing through a crowded area, I usually give people a light double tap on the back of their shoulder as I’m trying to get by. Usually, they go out of their way to make room for you as opposed to just trying to squeeze through without the tap.

More coming tomorrow!
