Changing physiology is one of the science that used in NLP to change the state of mind. The term physiology primarily to refer to body posture and movement. Manipulating your physiology will change your biochemistry and thus affects your state of mind. Remember that people always say laughter is the best medicine? Its not only say by average people, but the statements have been proven by science.

Dr Paul Ekman from University of California has claimed that when smiling, the flexing facial muscles produce calming effect on the nervous system, heart rate and respiratory system. With this the amount of oxygen in blood is increased and internally increase healing hormones. When you are laughing or smiling when watching something funny on television or magazine, you ‘forget’ about your pain.

Try this if you still did not convince :
“Try to feel depressed and tired when you are laughing your heart out”
“Try to feel energetic when you slump your shoulder and look down”

This is one of the prove that changing your physiology can bring powerful positive effect to your mind. If changing your facial expression can give healing effect for your body, just imagine what more it can be done to you. Tomorrow, I will share with you how the simple change of physiology to install positive behavior as habit.
