Interesting article regarding abilities for humans to effectively be lie detectors. I won't spoil the results for you but I must say I was not what I expected.

Generally we get a lot of our information from facial expressions of those around us. If we are incorrectly labeling honesty then do we really even know a truth?

A guilty conscious is a guilty conscious leading your body to give subtle cues.

Perhaps when given more information we are too trusting of other people ignoring body language and allowing ourselves to be swept up into the emotions and charisma of another.

Save the mental health!



My new favorite saying is "Save the mental health". Of course I would have found a more catchier phrase. But this is the seriously most important object you can possess.


Many a time I have seen people abuse their mental state. But can you do to damage an abstract idea????

Good question.

Excessive amounts of stress for a pro-longed time can have negative affects on your body and mental health. Your more likely to become sicker easier due to a lower immune system. Of course we can all manage different amounts of "stress" and stress is an individual interpretation.
                                      One time I had my very first mental break down at age 23.... it was not fun. In fact it may be the largest pit falls of my life. It was extremely hard to find the will to distress your life
 
 
Depriving your body of a normal sleep schedule or from sleep in general can impair your mental abilities. Your body has a routine of hormones it releases on a regular schedule. Hormones to keep you awake and others to start to wind you down. Ignoring your bodies natural routine will have negative results.
 
 
 
Take care of your spirit. It's what makes you who you are. Acquiring an ear to listen to your body is special gift. Just like you listen to that pain in your shoulder or knee. Your mental state is sending you signals too. 
 
Identify your emotions. Are you mostly happy or sad?
Declutter your brain. Sometime its critical to start removing stressors for a brain break
Actively look for the positives in your life in the world around you.
 
Save the mental health!
 
 
Each person is different and sees the world in ways we can't even imagine.
Be patient with your fellow man.
 

Get to know me





Hello everybody!


My name is Angelina.


I made this blog to share my thoughts, passions, and idea regarding psychology and early childhood development. Both of which are my passion in life.


I teach at my local Headstart. For those who do not know it is a federally funded program driven to provide quality childcare for low income families. I LOVE this program I have worked for a private preschool as well and can honestly say I am giving better quality experiences then I ever could have in a corporation preschool.


I am also studying Psychology at a 4-year university. I am considered a junior by now I am sure and plan on continuing my education further. I have tons of "crazy" thoughts in my head but have no one on the same page. Story of my life.


Stay tuned if you are interested in articles, random thoughts, conversations, and a positive environment.


Save the mental health!

Inside your head is the safest place to be.
