Emotion, a general term for a series of subjective cognitive experiences, is a psychological and physiological state produced by a variety of feelings, thoughts and behaviors. It often interacts with factors such as mood, personality, temper, and purpose, and is affected by hormones and neurotransmitters.
With the rapid development of modern society, people are under pressure from many aspects. In the fragmented lifestyle, it is difficult for people to calm down and think seriously, and the pressure is not released, which leads to a series of emotional problems.
Olesen Madden, the father of success, once said:
At no time should a man be a slave to his emotions, and should not make all actions subject to his emotions. Instead, control your emotions.
So how can we control our emotions and be the master of our emotions? The long-term effect of improving mood comes from physiological changes in the outer layer of the brain, known as the cerebral cortex.
Research shows that exercise can cause significant molecular and structural changes in the brain, and these neurobiological changes are the latest key to treating depression, anxiety and stress. Not only does exercise rejuvenate your muscles, it can permanently change your brain chemistry.
neurotransmitter
Swimming boosts the body’s production of a neurotransmitter called dopamine, a pleasure chemical associated with learning and pleasure.
It can improve mood, improve happiness, enhance people’s attention, improve behavior hyperactivity, poor memory and poor control of their own behavior.
When swimming, the brain secretes a peptide that can control mental and behavioral activities. One of the substances called “endorphins”, which scientists call “hedonins”, acts on the body to make people feel happy.
amygdala
Swimming helps control the amygdala, a key brain center that controls fear. Disturbances in the amygdala can lead to increased distress and anxiety.
According to recent studies, in rodents, aerobic exercise can alleviate dysfunctions of the amygdala. This suggests that exercise can help reduce the emotional impact of stress.
The massaging effect of water
Water has a massaging effect. When swimming, the friction of water viscosity on the skin, the pressure of water and the stimulation of water can form a special massage method, which can gradually relax the muscles.
Studies have shown that emotional stress is characterized by general tension and stiffness. When swimming, due to the characteristics of water and the coordinated swimming action of the whole body, the respiratory center of the cerebral cortex is highly excited, which invisibly distracts other attention, and gradually relaxes the muscles, thereby regulating the nervous emotions.
The bad mood can be released by swimming, and the mood is good,
