Improve Your Health With Social Connections
Dear Reader,
No real surprise here. Though sometimes emotions seem as hard to control (or predict) as the weather, researchers are learning a lot about emotions and their power over the body. What's more, the effect of upbeat, positive feelings might just be quite beneficial to the body. Those who feel these emotions may end up with better health because they also tend to make more social connections according to research that appears in the journal of the Association for Psychological Science titled Psychological Science.
The study was led by Barbara Fredrickson, Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and Bethany Kok, Ph.D. from Germany's Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences. To understand the effects on the body of up-regulating positive emotions, the team zeroed in on vagal tone, an indication of how the vagus nerve is working. This nerve helps to manage heart rate, and is also a very central part of your social engagement system.
Those who have high vagal tone tend to be better at regulating emotions and the team speculated having higher vagal tone might cause people to feel more positive emotions, which boost positive social connections. Having more connections that are social will in turn, raise vagal tone, improving health and setting off a sort of "upward spiral".
To prove their hypothesis, Fredrickson, Kok and the team conducted a longitudinal field test where half the participants were randomly assigned to attend a 6-week loving and kindness meditation course where they learned how to cultivate positive feelings toward themselves and others. These were feelings like love, compassion and goodwill. The subjects were asked to practice the technique at home, but how often was totally under their control. The control group stayed on the waiting list for the course.
Each day, for 61 days in a row, subjects in both groups reported their "meditation, prayer or solo spiritual actions", their emotional experiences and their interactions with others within the last 24 hours. The vagal tone was measured two times, once at the start of the study and once at the end.

Improve Your Health With Social Connections Continued...
The data offers clear evidence supporting the idea of an "upward spiral", the perceived social connections acted as the link between positive feelings and overall health. Those who took the course and had higher vagal tone to start showed steeper increases in positive emotions over the study period. As the positive emotions went up, so did the reported social connections. As social connections went up so did vagal tone. By contrast, those on the wait list showed no change in vagal tone during the study period.
So it seems that it's possible to self generate positive feelings that are also able to make you physically healthier. Those little connections you make with people, talking in the checkout line, sharing stories on the bus and such appear able to drive positive feelings and impact health in a good way. In time, researchers may find that positive emotions are as essential to keeping us healthy as eating right and exercising regularly. In the meantime, look for ways to be more positive, to engage more socially, in your own life and you'll likely feel better for it.
To your good health,

P.S: There's a knock at the door. You peak through the curtains... a neighbor you weren't expecting.

We've all been there - caught out and embarrassed by the state of our homes.
Wouldn't it be great to always have a home that's free of clutter, one you're proud of rather than embarrassed by?
Now you can.
