The Impact of Body Posture on Mood

The way individuals hold and move their bodies can significantly influence their emotional states. Posture is linked to the release of hormones that affect mood, highlighting the connection between physical presence and mental well-being. For instance, tensing the body can trigger the sympathetic nervous system, leading to a false sense of danger and a constant stress response. This understanding empowers individuals to use their bodies consciously to improve their emotional health.
