good afternoon everyone (except those on the west coast where it is still
morning) herein is an article that appeared in the recent Woman' World. yes i
am an avid reader of said magazine for the following reasons 1) I enjoy the
food recipes' why ( because I do all the cooking) I enjoy the helpful hints re
cleaning ( As I do all the housecleaning) and 3) because I am extremely
domesticated. here goes : " Havin trouble getting past the little
disappointments of the day? (quite appropiate for us tmer"s) Try glaspng your
hands and reaching them over your head for a count of 10 .. this move shifts
your thoughts upward toward your successes, reports show. However moving your
body down - like touching your toes ( like Right I haven't been able to do
that since puberty) -makes you feel more negative. WHY IT WORKS literature and
movies teach us to literaly associate upward movements with achievement-
that's why we say things like " i feel on top of the world". Downward movements
by contrast are linked to unpleasant experiences, such as " down in the dumps"
explains study coauthor Daniel Casasanto,ph.d. hope this helps others as it
has helped me between cooking and cleaning enjoy. Gerry in beautiful Montreal.
