Dont worry, smile, you’ll be happy

Modern psychological and physiological research has shown that the mind and the body are not two separate entities but are two ways of looking at the same object.

It is like a lightning may be thought of as a bright flash with the associated thunder or an electrical discharge with a huge momentary change of air pressure. The two descriptions are one and the same. Thus it is better to talk about the mind/body.

In fact I normally talk about the mind/body/soul/spirit monad (unity).

We have long known that the emotions affect our physiology and when we are happy we smile. When we are not we frown.

What we have discovered in the last thirty years is that our physiology affects our mood. If we smile, we end up feeling happy. So no matter how you feel just now stand tall and act as you would when you are on top of the world. Breath deeply and take in that wonderful life giving oxygen. Now put on a great big smile. Soon you will be on top of the world.

There is a type of meditation which consists of smiling on every out breath. Do this for ten out breaths and notice how your mood improves.

Also note that in the above we used the as if principle, where you act as if and that acting will alter your physiology and mood (mind/body).
