Body language signs that could be important and you should learn is about hand gestures when dealing with others (negotiation, debates, etc)
It is very important to know how you use your hands (or not) during communications because it may be understood differently by others e.g: Holding hands together or behind your back ...etc
Thank You

How to avoid making mistakes?
It’s not helpful to attach a ‘fixed meaning’ to any particular movements as a 'sign' of something. It’s best to avoid ‘interpreting’ non-verbal signs without other ‘evidence’.
Reading body language can be a complicated business, even though we all have a natural ability to do it. People who are deaf and have learned to use sign language rely on several ways to communicate clearly. They use hand signals, mouth the words, sign the ‘space’ they place people and objects in and move their bodies. This is the best way to spot body language signs.
Remind yourself of any messages you have recently sent.
How would the meaning of that text or email have changed if you had 'said' it with a smile or with a cheeky sense of humour? What would it have meant if you said it in an angry voice, still using the same words? How would it have sounded in a gently challenging tone of voice, or if you had delivered in a 'straight to the point- no nonsense' kind of way?
The meaning of a face-to-face communication depends to a large extend on your body language and how you use your voice. You do have control overyour part of the ‘electronic’ communication… but the receiver may read your message in a way you did not intend! This is the best way to spot body language signs.
Bearing this in mind, why not go back over some of your recent messages, just out of interest.
