FEELING WEAK? IT IS LIKELY THAT YOU NEED A LITTLE JOY BOOST!
July 16th, 2009 categories: Grazing Spiritual Pastures
The Bible says that “the joy of the Lord is our strength” (Neh.8:10) and “laughter is good medicine for the soul” (Prov 17:22). Recent brain science research^1 seems to indicate that the right hemisphere of our brains has the capacity to receive and transmit joy (e.g., the key to regaining strength)?
Try this on someone you want to lift up today: Engage with them off and on throughout the day by smiling at them particularly in the left eye (which connects with the right hemisphere of the brain). The truth is that when someone smiles at you and conveys that they really like you (e.g., they are glad to be with you), you can’t help but smile back. Joy is received and then transmitted back. It’s a win/win for all. You’d be surprised by the results.
It’s our goal to be life givers both to individuals that we interact with each day and those we work with in our business. We hope this “mooving thought” encourages you in YOUR life.
^1 The right hemisphere of each brain holds an emotional regulation structure called the control center … The capacity of the brain’s control center is built through experiences of joy in our significant relationships … (through) right-hemisphere-to-right-hemisphere communication from a trained control center in one person to an untrained control center in another person.
