Smile Please

We all know that how our psychological behaviours affect our health and immunity system.A stressed out person has more health issues than a person without stress.In fact, most of the lifestyle diseases are caused due to stress. There are many ways to improve the psychological or emotional well being of a person that has a positive influence.This blog focuses on one such area for a positive emotional well being:The influence of our physiology on our psychology. Smile : There are totally 43 muscles in our face. One can differentiate between a fake smile to real smile with the muscles that get activated by the smile. While a fake smile activates the muscles around the mouth ,a real smile activates the muscles around the eyes in addition to the muscles around the mouth.As per the research ,when these muscles are activated, the mood of a person changes for good. In fact, smile is contagious.If one genuinely smiles then that initiates smiles in others. As per the Neuroscientist, this contagious effect is due to the activation of ‘Mirror Neurons’.In fact, in this process of smiling, we are not only confined by our body boundaries but we extent ourselves to reach others. This is a great example clearly to know that we are all ONE. when we live with this kind of perception, the reality and the world around us are much more happier place.

Posture & Balance :At a moment, when we feel that our confidence is low , few corrections by having upright posture , chest expanded ,shoulder up and a straight look provide the required confidence in a person. Also, to get a sense of balanced mind state , try balancing the left and right sides of the body along the spine axis. For a good health , it is important to be aware of the way in which we balance our postures.In yoga language, any imbalance in posture is defined the ‘’leakage of current or energy’’. A perfectly balanced posture aids in decreasing the ageing process too. Perception:Our emotions are stored in the nervous system throughout the body. A proper balanced postures affect the nervous system and hence the psychology or the moods of a person.When one experiences these psychological changes within him , his perception of his own body changes.He knows that there is a universe operating within him and in each one around him . Our social relationship and the quality of relationship with others improve when have a perception that each one of us is an universe. Naturally,we respect each other. So, pay attention to your physiology , your postures and gestures if you want to create happiness around you, change the mood,feel confident , get balanced , decrease the ageing process and improve the lifestyle diseases.
