It’s better for our health
to seek positive emotions – affection, joy, satisfaction. The links between the
heart and brain are well established. A single positive thought can trigger
beneficial neurotransmitters and hormones. Oxytocin
is the hormone of love, pleasure and orgasm. Serotonin regulates our mood positively. Dopamine stimulates and encourages us. A thought, look or smile is
enough to bring down our blood pressure, and make us feel better.
Test these scientific
principles. When you wake up, dwell a moment on a dream, or something pleasant.
When you arrive at work, forget your dreadful journey or the bad weather. Share
something positive. When a friend or college look at you, smile and say hi or
wave. In these moments, you’ll feel your face relax and a good mood take hold.
