dyk: Intentionally smiling, even through facial tension, even to the point of spasm, overrides the parasympathetic nervous system and releases chemicals & brain states of spontaneous smiling?
In response Leventia Anon to his Publication
the same principle applies to conscious relaxation of muscles, relaxed deep breathing (your belly moves, not your chest) and erect posture.
a decision to be grateful, and compassionate (to yourself as well as others) does the same.
We're making decisions all of the time. It's our responsibility to make those decisions more consciously everyday. (even as the vk pissed level rises)
