Fake smile vs Genuine smile: Scientists have known for a long time that emotions are accompanied by numerous changes in the body, from elevation in the heart rate to flexion of the zygomatic major muscle (i.e. smiling). However, we’ve come to understand more recently that it’s a two way street. Your brain actually pays attention to what your body is doing, and it affects your emotions. This was first called the “facial feedback hypothesis”, but it applies to more than just muscles of the face. The good news is that while it’s sometimes hard to control our emotions, it’s much easier to control our muscles. Facial feedback works because the brain senses the flexion of certain facial muscles (like the zygomatic major, which is required to smile) and interprets it as “Oh I must be happy about something.” Similarly, if that muscle isn’t flexed then your brain thinks, “Oh, I must not be happy”. In addition to the direct neural feedback, in the real world you also get the added advantage of social feedback. Smiles are infectious. So even if you don’t feel much happier, the people around you are more likely to smile, and that can improve your mood as well. I challenge you to make an effort to smile at least 5 times today - at strangers, at someone you care about, and when you are looking in the mirror at yourself! You’ll feel better. #smile #neuroplasticity #lookinthemirror #challenge #improveyourmood #feelbetter

I am releasing a new Mandala coloring book - available for pre-order now (save 20%). More than just coloring in the lines. Coloring reduces stress, excites the senses, and encourages us to create our own boundaries. www.hayesarttherapy.com #arttherapy #coloringbook #creative #relaxation #inspiration #selfcare #anxiety

We outlined our hands in an overlapping, expressive design. Then painted the different shapes and spaces to create an abstract painting. This is about getting lost in the process and letting go of distraction of daily stresses. #arttherapy #lostintheprocess #lettinggo #hands #painting #nomoreanxiety #abstractart

Mandala 8: Created while waiting to board a double decker tour bus around Shanghai. Stage 8: because it is similar to a five pointed star (represents a person who is functioning well in their surroundings). I guess I am adjusting to being in China. #china #functioning #mandala #lotus #arttherapy #instaart #watercolorcrayons #tourbus #doubledecker #shanghai

Mandala 7: This also fits into Stage 4: New Beginnings (the challenge of this stage is to let go of things that are no longer necessary). I’m still in China, immersed in this different culture, although this drawing looks more Japanese. #mandala #instaart #drawing #paperby53 #cherryblossom #china #shanghai #arttherapy

Mandala 6: Drawn during my 15 hour flight to Shanghai, China. The triangle makes this fit into Stage 4: New Beginnings (taking pleasure in nurturing something new).

Mandala 3: According to the “Great Round of the Mandala” this is Stage 7: The Squaring of the Circle (showing a strong sense of autonomy, and in this stage I am open to learning. This is the beginning of life lived according to my own values). Why Chinese? My daughter is teaching me some basic phrases, because I am headed to Shanghai next week. #china #shanghai #IAmFine #thankyou #hello #sorry #goodbye #mandala #arttherapy #drawing #instaart #balance #love #autonomy #learning #learningchinese

I have just 30 days before I set out on my bicycle on the 554 mile epic journey from San Francisco to Los Angeles to raise money for the LGBTQ Community and to find a cure for HIV and AIDS. In order to ride, I have to raise $3000, and I am just $500 away from that goal. ANYTHING you can donate will help me.

Malndala 2: According to the “Great Round of the Mandala” this drawing is a combination of Stage 5: The Target (an awareness personal suffering, without knowing the reason. This is my vulnerability, my anger, and my anxiousness) and Stage 9: Crystallization (my task in this stage is to enjoy my success to the fullest, without becoming too attached to it and understanding that in time this too will end.) #mandala #arttherapy #target #subconscious ##psychology #crystallization #instaart #anxiety #anger #awareness #spiritual #vulnerability #enjoysuccess #suffering #drawing

Mandala 1: According to the “Great Round of the Mandala”, my drawing is a combination of stage 6: The Dragon Fight (I am faced with an internal struggle in order to develop a distinct sense of self), and stage 9: Crystallization (achieving intellectual understanding of my own place in the world). #mandalas #arttherapy #DragonFight #Crystallization #drawings #instaart #internalstruggle #understanding #subconscious #creatingmandalas
