The Key to Understanding First Impressions
Have you ever made a quick assumption that was so wrong it led to a terrible embarrassment or upset? We’ve all done it, and there’s a reason for that.
Understanding First Impressions…
So can we control our initial assumptions and impulses? Well no, we actually can’t. But it sounds like we can understand them and let another part of our brain control our reactions.
What a great bit of insight!
I suspect the next time I react too impulsively, or someone around me does, I will be a lot more thoughtful about my responses!
What if everyone knew about this?
This could be very empowering. How much better might our police, doctors, and politicians be if many of them stopped acting from those initial impulses in their brains? How might we raise our children differently if both we knew this was the way our brains worked?
All food for thought!
I guess all we can do is start with the person in the mirror.
Stay open, curious and optimistic!
People often understimate the power of a good first impression, but the reality is, its kinda of a big deal. Getting over a bad first impression is one of the hardest things to do, you can control your impulses or try and not judge a book by its cover, but the majority of the people will that's why you should always strive to give the best first impression.
