Park Jimin really stimulates my vagus nerve.
That's not what you think it is.
Tumblr media
Well yes, I'm only human too...
Tumblr media
but that's not what I'm talking about here...
I'm talking about AWE.
Different from joy or admiration, awe is an emotional response to something - or someone - vastly impressive or beautiful or inspiring (or all of the above in the case of Park Jimin).
Tumblr media
Awe is that "oh, wow" feeling.
Sometimes it's inspired by a feat of courage or a grand performance. Other times it's something so beautiful it makes you breathless (or both in the case of Park Jimin).
Tumblr media
The key is that it is triggered by something that is outside of the everyday experience, maybe beyond understanding. It has to be mesmerising, remarkable, wonderful (or all of the above ...yeah you know where I'm going with this).
Tumblr media
So what does this have to do with my vagus nerve?
I'm glad you asked!
The vagus nerve (no, thats not it. It means wandering) is the nerve that links your brain basically to the rest of your body. It reaches from your brain stem all the way through your abdomen.
Tumblr media
The vagus nerve controls your automatic responses. This is the nervous system that's responsible for that swooping feeling in your belly (when you when you look at pictures of Park Jimin) as well as the racing of your heart (when you watch Park Jimin dance).
Tumblr media
Your vagus nerve is active in both directions. Your brain will send messages to your body via the vagus nerve (fight or flight as an example) but you can also use it to reduce stress and anxiety. You can engave your vagus nerve to down-regulate your stress response.
How can you do that? One way is by experiencing awe.
Tumblr media
I'm not making this up.
Scientific studies have proven this. Besides the rush of endorphins when you have that "oh wow' response, awe reduces the focus on yourself and shifts your perspective. That's good for your physical and emotional health for a bunch of reasons.**
So, looking at pictures of Park Jimin and watching him dance can improve your health?
Yes, that's right!
Tumblr media
Ask your GP to prescribe a daily dose of Park Jimin for continued good health. Or take matters into your own hands and make him part of your daily self-care routine.
You can thank me later.

Another one of xml's emotions!
it's Bravest!
Tumblr media
Bravest is positive emotion but its really good at fighting!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
However. Bravest is melee emotion. That allows it to punches them. So, bravest can punch, and karate chop. Also, it needs to charge up to do combo attack. For example... When it charges up, it buffs its arms up before do combo attack

The New Rainbow Squads Book 1
Chapter 1 The First Squad part 1
It was an average day in a very nice city known as Springfield. However, there was something up. A new family had just moved in as the father got a new job in Springfield. While the father was happy to have a new job, the kids weren't happy as they didn't want to move. The mother looked over to her middle daughter as she was bridging a box into the house. Her daughter Hannah was sitting on the stairs with a sad, dejected look on her face. Her mother pushed her daughter's purple hair out of her face getting Hannah's attention.
"Hey Hannah are you OK sweetie?" The mother asked gently.
"No mom, I'm not! I didn't want to move nor did Lilly, let alone Danie!," Hannah said clearly very upset.
"I know you didn't want to move but we had no other choice. After all, your father got a good job here and you know how badly he needed one." The mother explained.
Hannah sighed before saying "yeah I know we were struggling with money after he lost his old one but did it have to be so far away. I want to be with my old friends and my old school."
"I know sweetie, but hey, look on the bright side. Your new school doesn't have uniforms so that means that we can go out and get you a new wardrobe." The mother tried reassuring Hannah.
"Yeah, that does sound good, but still I miss my old friends back home." Hannah said less than reassured.
"I know, but you'll adjust here. Now why don't you go and unpack your stuff?" the mother asked.
"Ok mom I will." Hannah groaned.
After a week had passed, Hannah woke up to the sound of her alarm going off next to her bed. She whined a little as she pressed the dismiss button and grudgingly got out of bed. She looked around in her new room, which was on the second floor. There was a window right next to her bed and a door on the other side of her room. She also had a wardrobe on the left side of her room and a computer on a desk on the right side. Even if she has her own room there isn't much privacy as her room is in between her brothers and sisters rooms.
Hannah went up to her wardrobe and picked out an outfit to wear to school. She settled for a white V-neck T-shirt, a purple skirt with a red trim at the bottom, her favorite pair of red boots, and a jacket that had the red and purple color scheme as well. After changing she left her room and went down the L shaped staircase to the comfy kitchen that smells of eggs and bacon, for breakfast.
When she arrived she saw her father was dressed for work and was quickly finishing up his breakfast so he could get to work on time. Her mother was cooking some more bacon and scrambled eggs. Her big brother was already eating some waffles and her little sister was eating some of the bacon and eggs that their mother had already made. Hannah sat down right in between her older brother and little sister and waited for her breakfast to be ready.
"Oh, Hannah, you're up. That's good. Your breakfast will be ready in just a moment," Mother said, while finishing up what she was cooking.
"Ok, Mom," Hannah said quite dismissively, still sad about the move.
After breakfast Hannah and her siblings left for the new school. The school was called Springfield Consolidated and was designed in a way that the elementary, middle, and High School were all connected together. The High school had the largest student population as it offered a variety of tentacle classes. This brought in many kids from all around Springfield to attend the school.
Lilly would be going to middle school, while Hannah would be starting her freshman year in high school and her brother would be a junior. After the three siblings went inside the school building they split to find their first classes of the day. Hannah had managed to find her class with the help of some teachers.
"OK class, we have a new student today. This is Hannah and she moved here about a week ago. Hannah, is there something you'd like to say to the class?" the teacher asked politely.
"Yes, there is. I'm Hannah. I'm originally from the countryside which was rather quiet. I like watching anime, playing video games, and I'm quite nervous about making new friends in a new environment," Hannah explained a bit timidly as she was nervous about how everyone would think of her.
"That's rather nice. I know it can be scary moving to a new place but don't worry you'll adjust here in the city," the teacher explained, trying to help Hannah feel better.
Hannah just nodded her head not wanting to say any more as she was rather nervous by all the other kids in the room looking at her.
"Ok now is there a free desk for Hannah here to sit at?" the teacher asked while looking around for a free desk.
"Hey, Miss Smith, the desk in front of me is free,'' a boy with green hair, a puffy green vest, black gamer shirt, gray shorts, and green sneakers said.
"Oh, thank you Jake. Go on Hannah and take a seat," Miss Smith said.
"Oh, ok thanks," Hannah said then took her seat.
When she sat down Jake started whispering something to her, "Hey, you like video games? I like them."
"Oh, you do?" Hannah asked.
"Yeah, I have games from Nintendo, PlayStation, Xbox, and Steam, I spend a lot of my free time playing them. I do have board games as well and I play them with my family. I also do gardening as a game free hobby," Jake explained to her in a hurried whisper.
"Wow, it must be a lot of fun," Hannah said before turning her attention to Miss Smith as she started the lesson.
Later on Hannah was heading up to the cafeteria when suddenly someone grabbed her by the sleeve of her jacket and slammed her right into a locker.
When she looked she saw a group of boys with tattoos, piercings, and the same leather jackets facing her.
"Just as I thought, she still has that new kid smell and that countryside stink, but hey she might have some cash on her," the one who was holding her arm said.
"Um pardon me but who arr- Ouch!" Hannah was saying but was interrupted when the boy slammed her harder against the locker.
"Don't talk to me, country girl. Just give me your money and I'll leave," the boy spat at her.
"I-I need it for my lunch though," Hannah stammered out, scared by the boy, and hurting from the pressure on her arm.
She was running late so all the other students were already in the cafeteria so none of them knew what was going on.
"Like I care at all,!" He hissed.
"Just give me the cash and me and my boys will consider not beating you up," the boy said threateningly, while spit landed on her face.
"Well Mark, look at what you're doing picking on the new girl, how original," a girl's voice said sarcastically.
Mark and his boys looked at the girl. Hannah saw a girl with curly black hair, with a black dress with a Gothic skull on the front of it, a white jacket, and black shoes.
"Hey Jane, back out of this unless you have some money on you," Mark said.
"Oh well I just came to tell you boys that the study club is taking over the gym today so you guys will have to practice wrestling outside," Jane said calmly.
"WHAT NO! NO NERDS ARE KICKING US OUT OF THE GYM! COME ON, BOYS LET'S GO TELL COACH,!" Mark exclaimed before throwing Hannah against the locker and running off in the direction of the gym. His friends all followed him and once they were gone Jane came up to Hannah and helped her up.
"Thanks for the help," Hannah thanked a bit out of breath from being thrown around.
"Hey, I could stand by and let those jerks hurt you. It's typical of them to pick on the new kids. A few had even transferred because of them," Jane explained as she dusted off Hannah's jacket.
"Well, thanks again for the help Jane. I'll just go get my lunch and find a table to sit at," Hannah said a bit sad as she felt like she didn't have any friends in this new world of hers.
"Hey, why don't you sit at the table where I sit with my friends." Jane suggested.
"Oh really?" Hannah asked, surprised at the offer.
"Yeah, come on. We welcome anyone and you're new so we'd love it if you'd join us," Jane said while leading Hannah into the cafeteria.
After they got their lunches the two girls went up to a table that had six others sitting there. Hannah saw that Jake was there playing a video game rapidly. She also saw a girl with pink hair up in a bun, a pink t-shirt with the words "I ❤ ponies" on it, a magenta hoodie wrapped around her waist looking over Jake's shoulder watching what he was playing.
Hannah also saw a boy with bottle orange hair with a ponytail up, working on something. He was wearing an orange T-shirt with a graph galaxy picture on it, he was also wearing a classic white lab coat and had protective rubber gloves on as well, along with thick framed glasses that were black with a green line. He also had an average build that would let him blend in a crowd of other teens.
There was another boy with yellow hair in a bold cut who was watching something on his phone. He was wearing a yellow hoodie that had a picture of a 4k digital cinema camera on it, baggy gray cargo pants, and yellow shoes. Sitting next to that boy was a girl who was drawing. She had light blue hair that was in a ponytail. She was wearing a long sleeve shirt that was white in the middle while the sleeves were light blue. She coordinated her hair with a white and light blue striped beanie.
The sixth student at the table was leaning back in his chair with headphones on. He had black skin, sunglasses on, a leather jacket that looked like the sleeves were ripped off, and brown boots. His hair was crowned from his forehead to the nap of his neck with a purple mohawk. He had a more muscular build than the other boys at the table.
"Hey guys, I found a new member of our club,'' Jane said.
"Oh, you guys are a club?" Hannah asked, surprised.
"Oh no, we're not, well not on school terms. Outside of school we do what you could call bonding time. We're all so different that we can't think of a name for a club, so we didn't form one, but students think we're one as they see us hanging out all the time after school. Oh, and I'm Ed," the orange haired boy apparently named Ed said.
"Well it's nice to meet you Ed. Who are the rest of you by the way?" Hannah asked.
"Oh, well you've already met Jake, the pink haired girl is Jenny, the yellow guy is Josh, the light blue girl is Lila, and I'm Erick, Jane's boyfriend." The guy with the mohawk explained.
"Oh well nice to meet you all and I'm glad to be a part of your group now. After dealing with some jerks in the hallway earlier I'm glad to meet some nice students in the school," Hannah said gratefully then sat down and began eating her lunch along with her new friends.
After school Hannah was walking home alone as her older brother and little sister were staying at school for a little while because they wanted to join some clubs. As she was walking she saw an old woman who seemed to be begging for money. Seeing this Hanna realized that there were indeed some homeless people in such a nice city she'd read about before moving.
As Hannah went up to her, the old woman begged, "Please dear, do you have any spare change to give?"
"Oh yes I do... here, hope it helps,'' Hannah said while handing the old lady some spare change she had.
"Thank you, young lady. Here, take this necklace. It's a good luck charm. I hope it'll help you out in the future," the old lady said while handing Hannah a necklace with a red gem.
"Oh, thank you miss, that's really kind of you. I hope you'll be ok," Hannah said before she continued on her way back home.
The old woman smiled as she watched Hannah leave. "I have a feeling that she is indeed the one who will save us all," The old woman inaudibly said to herself.

Positive Emotions in the Workplace Must be Beneficial? Perhaps Not!
Employees felt less drained when they ended the day with more positive emotions. However, changing from negative to positive emotions (referred to as “emotional journeys”) led to increased depletion at the end of the day. This depletion further impacted employee behavior by increasing counterproductive work behaviors (actions that are harmful to others), and decreasing job performance and organizational citizenship behavior (voluntary acts of helping). Employees with higher levels of neuroticism experienced more depletion and more harmful effects as a result of changes in emotional levels.

Don't make the mistake of being so understanding and forgiving that you overlook the fact that you're being disrespected.
