💖 When you feel down, change it from your 'body' 🌸

Hello, this is YUKI ☺️

Everyone has days where they think, 'I just don't feel like myself today...'
You wake up in the morning with no motivation and just keep sighing...
At times like that, many people try hard, thinking, 'I have to change my mood!' or 'I have to be positive!' 💦

But... actually, your mood isn't something you can easily change just by 'willpower'.
Today, I'd like to introduce a way to change your mental state 'from your body' for those times 💖

🌷 You cannot directly control your mental state

We tend to think that 'we can change our feelings with our own will'.
But in reality, even psychologically, emotions cannot be switched on and off like a light switch.

When you're feeling down, even if someone tells you to 'cheer up!', your heart doesn't always follow, right...?
Trying to force a smile at such times can sometimes make you feel even more tired 😢

That is why it is important to approach the only thing you can control: your body.

☀️ The mechanism where moving your body makes your feelings follow

When you're feeling down, don't you find yourself looking down unconsciously?
Your shoulders hunch forward, and your back curls up...
Actually, this posture is what keeps sending the signal to your brain that 'you have no energy' 💦

Conversely, if you open your chest, straighten your back, and lift your face...
Your brain is tricked into thinking, 'I'm in a good state' ✨
Your breathing becomes deeper, blood flow improves, and your mood naturally starts to lift little by little 🌸

🦋 Let's lift your mood with upward movements

People often say, 'Look up while you walk'.
This isn't just a nice-sounding phrase; it's actually a very effective way to regulate your mental state 💡

For example

• Try jumping on the spot 🦘
• Raise both hands high and shout 'Banzai!' 🙌
• Stretch your back and take a deep breath 🌿
• Walk while looking up at the sky 🚶‍♀️

These are all 'upward' movements.
Moving upward naturally deepens your breathing and makes it easier for positive energy to well up 💗
The point is to lift your body before you try to lift your spirits ✨

😊 A 'fake smile' is also a great mental training

Have you ever heard that 'laughing makes you feel better'?
Actually, this is effective even if you aren't really laughing ❣️

Even with a fake smile where you pull up the corners of your mouth, your brain is tricked into thinking, 'I'm having fun now'.
This is a legitimate form of mental training that utilizes the brain's mechanisms.

🌟It's the same as actors becoming like their roles
Have you ever heard that when actors play a role for a long time, their usual personality and gestures start to resemble the character...?
The human brain has a nature of aligning emotions with actions, so while you are 'acting', you eventually become that way for real.

A smile is the same; even if it's acting at first, it will turn into a genuine smile as you continue 💖
By repeating a fake smile, your heart will also gradually loosen up.

😷The mask era is an opportunity
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, many people have started wearing masks.
This is the perfect chance to 'practice smiling without being seen by others' ✨
• Raise the corners of your mouth under your mask on the commuter train 🚃
• A 3-minute fake smile time before going to work ⌛
• Keep smiling while doing housework 🧹

This way, you can make it a daily habit without feeling embarrassed 💕

🏅 Top athletes also practice this

In the world of sports, methods to regulate the mind from the body are common knowledge.
There are almost no top athletes who look down before an important match, right?
Everyone puffs out their chest, lifts your face, and looks dignified.

This isn't just for show; it's a habit to send positive signals to the brain and bring out the best performance.
You can definitely apply this to your daily life as well ✨

🌼 Daily habits for 'mental recovery from the body'

1. Stretch + deep breath when you wake up in the morning
→ Start your day feeling good 🌞
2. Jump or stretch during desk work
→ For a change of pace and improved blood flow 💪
3. Fake smile in front of the mirror
→ If you continue for 3 minutes, your mood will soften too 😊
4. Walk while looking up at the sky or ceiling
→ Your posture will naturally improve too 👀
5. Decide on your own 'energy pose'
→ For example, 'hands up' or a 'victory pose' 💥

💌 Summary: Let's change the order of getting energized

When you're feeling down, you tend to think, 'I'll move once I feel better,' but it's actually the opposite.
You 'feel better because you move' 💖

Look up, straighten your back, jump, fake a smile—
Even with just a few seconds of movement, your heart will gradually feel lighter.

Why not take a small step starting today? 🌸
May your days become a little brighter, little by little ✨
