Wednesday Behaviour cue- Blink Rate. I want you to go out today and in conversation or watching others just notice the blink rate, don’t count how many times, just notice an increase of decrease. Because the blink rate will show that High blink rate signal stress and low blink rates show intense focus (not comfort). Average blink rate 12-17 per min- High BR end 100 per minute = stress Low BR 1-5 per minute = focused. Your job is to lower the blink rate by increasing focus. An extra action to take if there is an increase, what was said or happened when the blink rate increased? Doesn’t mean a person is being deceptive, but something happened to become more stressed. Let me know your experience in the comments Lets do the work!!!
