Frustrated for some reason, stressed or upset? So just making a habit of smiling can make life happier.
This was revealed in a medical study conducted in Australia. Research from the University of South Australia has confirmed the centuries-old notion that smiling helps to make the mind positive and that it simply requires moving the facial expressions.
At a time when the rate of anxiety and depression has increased significantly in the world as a result of the epidemic of code 19, this new discovery can be said to be timely. The study, published in the journal Experimental Psychology, examined the effects of a smile on the face and body, asking people to mimic the movement of a smile by pressing a pen into their teeth and pressing their face against a file.
Researchers have found that the movement of facial muscles not only changes facial expressions but also changes body expressions, and stimulates positive emotions. The researchers said that the findings are important for a deeper understanding of mental health.
"When your muscles say you're happy, you look at the world around you positively," he said.
"In the research, we found that when you practice a forced smile, it stimulates the amygdala, the emotional sphere in the brain, which releases neurotransmitters that encourage the mind to be positive," he said. ۔
According to researchers, it has interesting effects on mental health. If you force the brain to understand that you are 'happy', then you can use this mechanism as an aid to improve mental health.
Research has shown that when the emotional process is activated, cognitive and motor systems come together. According to researchers, even if the smile is 'fake', it can also help improve mental health.
