How your heart behaves in Love

By Katherine Lightwood


You probably know that the way you feel can affect your heart rate. If you are feeling calm your heart rate is nice and slow, chances are you don’t even feel it. But when faced with fear or something really exciting you might feel your heart pounding away in your chest.

But your heart rate doesn’t just respond to what you are feeling it can in some ways control how you feel by changing the way you process incoming information. 

Cardiovascular arousal or the state where your heart is pumping faster or harder than normal can actually intensify your feeling of fear and anxiety and this happens because every heartbeat, the strength, and the timing is signaled to the brain through blood vessels called baroreceptors. When the heart rate and the blood pressure increase, the baroreceptors tell this to the brain and the thought that the brain can interpret the signal as fear.

So, when you see or talk to someone you ‘like’, I mean really like then a hormone called noradrenaline causes you to sweat more and your heart to beat faster. And which will lead to flushed cheek and dilated pupils and so on. 

Therefore, if you think that you are playing it cool, then my friend, you are so wrong. Your whole body is screaming loudly that you like that person.

These days I am having a very good opportunity of seeing such scenarios. Some of my fellow classmates are proving the science right. So, it’s giving me a good amount of practical scientific knowledge and a great deal of happiness.

Yeah I know I am weird for using my classmates as test subjects. But everything is fair in love, war, and science. Just kidding, I am not doing anything like that.

We like to think of ourselves as higher animals with brain driving the body. Completely rational and independent of our ancient programming but evidence show our biology is affecting our perception of time, our decision making and how we look at the world around us.   

After all, we are just big dumb animals.

So, that was my thought of the day. To see more posts like this make sure to visit our main page. And Do not forget to visit our institute's page to know more about graphic design, 3D, animation courses and other awesome stuff. Till then good day to you.

Understanding the Meaning of Grief By Katherine Lightwood

Understanding the Meaning of Grief By Katherine Lightwood  A constant gnawing that feels like that you have rocks churning in the pit of your stomach. Absolute exhaustion after sleepless nights. Unpredictable and sometimes uncontrolled crying or being completely emotionless. Feeling so bad that you question whether you will ever feel better.  If you ever feel this way then you are not alone. It doesn't matter where you live, work, how much money you have or how you vote. Man or women, adult or child when you lose someone important, you grieve. Although we all grieve at one time or another, our individual grief experiences often differ. For one thing, there are many kinds of losses and the feeling each evokes are very different. Not only is someone's reaction to loss is very unique, their individual experiences matter too, how they manage grief. There's no magic wand to wave to make the pain go away. But we can gather knowledge to help understand how ...

Last Verse of the Setting Sun By Katherine Lightwood

Last Verse of the Setting Sun By Katherine Lightwood Frozen wind and the scarlet light, The day sets with a silent demise. Giving the promise of a beautiful tomorrow, Till then, the meadows will drench in sorrow. Holding light but very tight, The demons of the night are dancing in delight. Under the shadows, hiding in the night, A beating heart that starts to recite... Melancholy lore of a broken kind, Lore of winning wars that were left behind. Lore of valor and cruel tragedy, The lore was sung by sweet maidens with a silent melody. Lore of brave soldiers who would come home, Their tale would be cruel like the gladiators of Rome. But now, the fire is dead, With few sparks burning, but the ashes are sad, And there's no light, in this frozen night, As they say, demons of the nightmare are dancing in delight. Now they say the light will come, with the turn of the sun, The warm breeze will blow, over the meadows, it will run. Will the light come... Or ...
