January physiology to beat the January blues

Posted on: Jan 03, 2012 - 10:00 AM

Back bends can specifically help fight depression.  They open up the heart, stretch the intercostal muscles of the ribs and allow us to breathe deeper and relieve tension from the front side of the spine and increase lung capacity. Try it but only push as far as is comfortable.

Try to catch those colourful falling leaves.
Reach up high and throw your arms back to release trapped emotions. Let them go and feel freer and uplifted.

Our Summer physiology of relaxation and happiness…

Posted on: Jul 18, 2011 - 10:49 AM

Allow your mood to follow your body by adopting the physiology of relaxation and happiness:
  • First thing to do is to take some deep breaths.
This will provide oxygen to your brain and relax you.
  • Next hold your head high and put your shoulders out in a posture of confidence.
  • Finally put on a huge big smile (Try it even if you don't feel like it!).
Act as if you are very happy and you will be happy. As you change your physiology to one of happiness you can control your-self talk to one of acceptance and confidence. The human brain can only keep one thought in the conscious mind at any one time. So by using a positive affirmation you get rid of negative self talk. Some good affirmations to change your mood include:
  • I like myself.
  • I approve of myself.
  • Life is good.
  • I enjoy life.
  • Peace now.
  • Relax.
  • This too shall change.
Of course when you combine all three (smiling, holding your head high, and using your favourite positive affirmation) you change your mood the fastest.

Spring Physiology

Posted on: Mar 07, 2011 - 08:49 PM

Spring looks so beautiful, happy and cheerful.  Shoots are springing up from the ground, flowers are opening up.  What about a big stretch and walking outside in the fresh air to blow away winter cobwebs and welcome spring. You could walk fast in the spring sunshine feeling blood pumping through your body, feeling alive, or slowly really taking in everything around you.  You’re sure to feel better, uplifted, brighter and lighter.
