As a result, it is important that we learn how to interact with others. Some of the methods available are as follows:

        Listening
        A good listener is said to be a good speaker. Listening is a skill that requires patience. There is a distinction to be made
        between hearing and active listening. When you hear, you are simply hearing and are not involved in the topic being
        discussed. That means you’re not particularly interested. However, actively listening implies that you are completely
        with the person who is sharing his/her points, that you respect them, and that you are willing to learn, grow, and
        accept. Listening to someone helps to establish trust and a positive relationship.

        body Language

        Have you ever seen someone with their hands crossed and a frown on their face? If so, what thoughts were going
        through your mind at the time? Looking at the person, you might conclude that he is in a bad mood or is angry. What
        do you think if you look at someone who is smiling and laughing? Obviously, you will believe that the individual is in a
        good mood and is happy. As a result, we can conclude that body language is an extremely important aspect that should
        not be overlooked.

        Wherever we work, our facial expressions, gestures, and postures speak louder than our words. It makes a huge
        difference in how we approach things if we smile and talk to people instead of approaching them with a frown.
        Positive Attitude

        A person with a positive outlook is upbeat and sees the positive side of things, even when things are bad. He has an
        extremely upbeat outlook on life, others, and himself. To find out why you are feeling that way, it is preferable to talk
        to someone you trust if you are having negative thoughts. Maintaining a positive outlook is crucial, especially while
        offering and receiving feedback. Giving someone feedback is providing them with information or criticism in order to
        let them know what they can do to better something. The process of communication requires feedback.

        Stress Management
        Have you ever been so worried about your performance that you couldn’t sleep the night before an exam? Stress is
        the name for that state of mental strain or tension. When working with others, stress can occasionally arise. Working
        in a team with individuals who have various personalities can be stressful for everyone. In such circumstances, stress
        management becomes crucial for everyone’s health and wellbeing. The term “stress management” refers to several
        techniques for reducing stress in order to feel wholesome, upbeat, and rejuvenated.
        There are many ways people deal with stress. Some of them are as follows:

        Ð ÐTaking a walk in nature
        Ð ÐDoing a physical activity like running swimming, etc.
        Ð ÐPractising deep breathing exercises

        Ð ÐPractising meditation or yoga
