Ever heard that "laughter is infectious"?
Our moods are very influenced by how we see emotions expressed in the human face.
This goes for how we see ourselves too! If we look in the mirror and see big frown lines etched into our brow, we tell ourselves we are grouchy, unhappy, or worried...
Psychiatrists have found that when people get neurotoxin treatment (such as Botox, Xeomin, or Dysport) and subsequently see themselves in the mirror WITHOUT the frown lines, their self-perception is altered, and they no longer feel as grouchy, unhappy, or worried! This biofeedback technique is used successfully in many other areas of medicine and represents an exciting development in the treatment of depression and anxiety.
So... talk to your doctor and see if this may be a new safe way to perk yourself up!
