Expression of the Day

When is the last time you made this expression?  I bet you can’t remember! I can assure you that you have made and will continue to make this expression. I find it fascinating that our face moves and expresses emotions that we are not aware of?!

While on the plane the other day, I struck up a conversation with the gentlemen next to me.  I was talking about the New York buses and subways, and when he talked about it, I noticed him making an expression of disgust.  About the third time I saw it, I said to him, “Something about the buses or subway disgusts you.  You keep making a classic expression of disgust.”  He laughed and said that every time he is with his mom that she wants to take the bus, and he hates being gridlocked into traffic on a bus.  He finds that disgusting! He prefers the subway.

Next time someone makes a classic expression, ask them why they are feeling that way.  It’s illuminating and interesting, and it will help you start to understand people around you better.
