Our resting negative faces give bias to future emotions.
Positive facial positions can keep us from becoming unconsciously angry.
Your thoughts wrap around your current facial expression.
It’s easy to believe that our resting faces are a reflection of our inner thoughts, but what if the opposite is true, and our resting face helps determine the quality of our thoughts?
What if your current face is acting like a Play-Doh template that we’re pushing our current emotions through. What if our negative resting face is shaping positively intended emotions negatively askew?
What if a consciously positive facial expression can alter unconscious negativism silently brewing inside of us.
A dog unconsciously wags its tail when it’s happy.
What if the tail could wag the dog?
When we’re happy, we usually smile.
Out of habit, your mind associates the act of smiling with the feeling of being happiness.
What if the conscious act of having a positive facial expression, sends supportive signals to your unconscious mind?
It’s kind of like fooling yourself to be happy, even when there might not be any real reason to be happy.
It’s not about smiling for anyone else. I think the big reason we often don’t want to smile is because we want everyone to see how miserable we unconsciously are.
What if we can be happier, by choice? What if we can become happier by consciously choosing our facial expressions.
Your resting face might not be some twisted gargoyle visage, but, having the face of a melancholic ghost does not inspire enthusiasm.
It’s not necessarily about walking around the world with some giant, plastered, false grin on your face.
It’s about finding a place between sad ghost and consciously emotive human.
It’s about slightly upping your standard of unconscious facial expressing.
Starting with just being conscious of what face you’re making in random moments. Become conscious of it. Look at it in the mirror on occasion, and imagine it being the template for everything you’re feeling right now.
It’s not so much what your resting face is telling other people as much as it’s what your it’s unconsciously inspiring you to feel.
A resting face is an insidious master.
Consciousness in isn’t easy either.
It requires a lot of effort.
Smiling to improve your own mood is a simple consciousness exercise that you can perform anytime anywhere.
Recognizing when your face is inspiring lesser feelings inside of you, then choosing for it to tell you something better.
When your resting face becomes more unconsciously passively positive, settling into a reasonably upbeat expression, it can help guide your mind to more successively positive thoughts.
As opposed to a negative face staring at your thoughts like a critic, and making you unconsciously feel whatever bias it’s holding against you.
To have a positive unconscious resting face is a powerful thing.
It unconsciously inspires everyone around you, constantly making your surrounding universe a more positive place.
Once positive facial muscles have been strengthened to the point of their independent unconscious activation, it takes so much pressure off of your mind to always have to provide justification for smiling.
Let your face be like a rescue animal guiding you away from dangerous thought.
Do the exercise. Work your happy face muscles.
It get’s easier.
