Anger, sadness, fatigue, anxiety… Sometimes negative emotions attack us and immobilize us. How can we turn the dynamics towards a more positive movement?
An unexpected event disrupts your plans. Does this stress you out? Does it annoy you? We easily feel overwhelmed and overwhelmed when negative emotions invade us. How can we reverse these feelings to become part of a more positive dynamic? On Instagram, a neurologist named “Tj Power” gives his advice in a video published on his account on July 10.
Quiet anxiety
If anxiety invades us, the best response is to breathe. Tj Power notes that “in a state of fear, our body’s physiology (heart rate, breathing rate, etc.) accelerates, and deep, slow breathing calms anxious thoughts.” A combination of the heart then seems appropriate.
In the event of a flood of thoughts that overwhelms the mind and causes a feeling of distraction, we bring a pen and a piece of paper, because “writing brings clarity”, assures the expert. To combat stress, “physical exercise is the most effective way,” he assures, “to stimulate endorphins, the neurotransmitter responsible for relaxation and relaxation.”

Eliminating anger and sadness
When we’re overcome with anger, a neuroscientist recommends singing to “release endorphins to reduce feelings of frustration and anger.” If it’s more a wave of sadness that runs through us, “gratitude is a scientifically proven way to increase positivity and happiness in the brain.”
Achieve your goals
Certain behaviors or states of mind are likely to affect our ability to achieve our goals. Laziness, for example. In this case, do not hesitate to take a cold shower, according to the neurologist. “Immersion in cold water is one of the most effective ways to quickly increase levels of dopamine, a neurotransmitter responsible for the ability to feel motivated and act. let’s achieve our goals,” says the specialist.
If we feel too tired to do any task, we can just go for a walk. The body needs movement, emphasizes the neurologist. And “walking in nature is a great way to clear your mind and relax,” she says. Finally, the expert recommends making a list of tasks that have already been completed, if you feel that you have not done enough or feel too impatient.
