Emotion is created by Motion. Everything that we feel is the result of how we use our bodies. Even the most minute changes in our facial expressions or our gestures will shift the way that we're feeling in any moment, and therefore the way we evaluate our lives - the way we think and the way we act. Every emotion you ever feel has specific physiology linked to it : posture, breathing, patterns of movement, facial expressions. For  depression, these are certainly obvious. Physical attributes of depression, where your eyes are focused, and how you hold yourself and so forth.  Once you learn how you use your body when in certain emotional states, you can return to those states, or avoid them, simply by changing your physiology. The challenge is that most of us limit ourselves to just a few habitual patterns of physiology. We assume them automatically, not realizing how great a role they play in shaping our behaviour from moment to moment.

So how can we change our own emotional states?  Think of your states as operating a lot like a TV set. In order to have "bright, vivid color with incredible sound," you need to plug in and turn on. Turning on your physiology is like giving the set the electricity it needs to operate. If you don't have the juice, you'll have no picture, no sound, just a blank screen. Similarly, if you don't turn on by using your entire body, in other words, your physiology, you may indeed find yourself unable to spell "house". Have you ever woken up and stumbled around, not able to think clearly or function until you moved around enough to get your blood flowing? Once the "static" has cleared, you're turned on, and the ideas begin to flow. If you're in the wrong state, you're not going to get any reception, even if you've got the right ideas. Of course, once you're plugged in, you've got to be turned to the r...
