Say JOY? not OY❤️? . #Repost @mentormepsychology with @get_repost ・・・ ?Positive Words Can Change (literally restructure) Your Brain!? . Neuroscientists report a "single word has the power to influence the expression of genes that regulate physical and emotional stress" (Waldman, "Words Can Change Your Brain"). By using words like “love", “peace", and "Joy" and you increase cognitive reasoning, strengthen and stimulate frontal lobes, activate motivational centers of the brain, reduce depression symptoms, increase optimism and positively influence the way one perceives self/reality. ?On the flip side, the use of negative words reduces neurostransmitters necessary for stress management.? They increase activity in the fear center of the brain and cause stress hormones to flood our bodies which then interrupts (literally shuts down) the logic and reasoning process of the brain. . Bottom line, by focusing and reflecting on positive language, thoughts, feelings, and emotions, we can improve our overall well-being and increase the functionality of our brain.? So what do you say?....JOY JOY JOY JOY JOY JOY,...LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE....? . Brings a whole new understanding to the meaning behind the Proverb, "Life and death are in the power of the tongue..." . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #powerofwords #powerofthemindset #powerofintention #powerofthoughts #optimism #optimismiskey #positivevibes #positivepsychology #positivemindset #positiveminds #neuroscience #neurosciences #brainpower #brainhealth #brainhealthy #changeyourlife #changeyourbrain #neuroplasticity #drshawnhorn #mentormepsychology #clinicalpsychologist #mentalhealthtools #powerofthetongue #intentionalliving #personalgrowth #wellnessandselfcare #healthyliving
