The art of stillness in communication, especially on camera, is like discovering a cheat code in the game of life. When everyone else online is waving their hands around like they're trying to dry nail polish, stillness is your superpower. Stillness isn't just about not moving physically; it's more a calm presence that draws your audience in and commands attention. When you're still, you're not just another talking head; you act as a lightning rod, drawing in focus amid the viewer's chaos. Stillness exudes confidence. It tells your audience, "I am so sure of what I'm saying, I don't need to dance for your attention." If you've ever had a conversation with someone who can sit in silence without awkwardness, you know what I'm saying. This is particularly potent on camera where every twitch can be magnified. Stillness allows for emphasis. When you move, it should be with purpose. A lean forward, a subtle hand gesture become signals rather than noise. Next time you're on camera, try being the Mona Lisa of speakers. "When you talk about...struggles, do it with the calm of a still lake. Let the depth of your stillness show the depth of your journey." ~Grim Hustle, attributed
