Psychological hacks to control any situations
There are some hacks you might have read up but these psychological hacks will help you control even tough situations. They are:
- Patience: When someone answers your questions partially, WAIT. Do not interrupt the person. There are chances the person is trying to build in more sentences or put their thoughts together. There are also high chances that they want to complete the answer when you say nothing. Once you interrupt them, they may not be able to concentrate or put their thoughts together properly.
- Frame a request as an opportunity: When you want to get something from someone, frame it as an offer/ opportunity instead of a request. Most people will be willing and ready to accept an offer/ opportunity than responding to a request
- Notice the Eyes when you make a request or speak to them: When you meet people, notice their eye colour while you smile at them. Also, when you are about to make a request, notice the eye and sometimes the facial expressions. Before you make a request, make sure that you really look them in the eyes.
- Call people by their name: A person’s name is the sweetest sound in the world to that person. To make a person feel very special, remember and repeat their names. Also, when writing an email, a person feels more special, when you personalize the mail. So, you may consider sending personal mails rather than using multi send mode. The same goes with chatting someone on the social media space.
- Zero Expectation: Most people feel discouraged about certain things because they have placed their expectation so high. It is good to have zero expectation when you are first trying something new or making a request. This prevents you feeling flustered after getting a NO or a disappointing message or feedback.
- Judging one’s character: To judge a person’s character, notice the way they treat people who can’t do anything for them especially the poor. Check how they treat the low class and that will give you a better perspective of their real character.
- Negotiate properly: After you state your position in a negotiation, wait for a while. If you continue to speak, you are not speaking in your favour.
- Chewing Gum: Chewing gum helps to calm your nerve and your brain.
- Learn by Teaching: When you are learning something, teach someone about it. You will remember it easily and explore more in the process if teaching.
- Talk about oneself: Most people’s favorite subject is to talk about is themselves. If you don’t know what to talk about, or have awkward silence, just ask them questions about themselves.
- Smile: Emotional Expression cause emotion to change. If you force yourself to smile, your mood will actually improve for better.
- Stand up straight: It makes you look more confident in a classy way. This is a unique psychological hack that will help you control any situation.
- Allow kids to make their decision: With kids, frame things in a way that always give them a choice E.g. ‘Do you want to wear a red shirt or a blue shirt?” It makes them feel like they are in control. Either way, they know it’s a time to put on a shirt.
- The word, ‘Because’: When asking for favours, use the word, ‘because’. No matter how simple the reason looks. The word, ‘because’ makes them think it must be okay since it proves a reason behind the favour.
