There are certain people who just put us at ease and allow us to let down our barriers. It's often hard to put your finger on exactly why that is, but we all know someone like that. They tend to be good listeners, make eye contact, speak with intention, and seem to be more grounded than the average person. Psychologists say we are drawn to people who have this calming effect on us because it's soothing to our nervous systems. Our bodies are craving calmness, so we're intuitively attracted to this kind of energy. These people seem to be a little bit magical, but, in reality, we can all learn to adopt these traits and behaviors. Not only does it benefit us to learn this calm way of life, but it will also benefit those around us.
