The way you hold your fist reveals your internal, external & love personality

           When we are angry or excited, we usually curl our fingers into a fist. However, different people have different ways of clenching their fingers into a fist. The reason for these differences lies in their personalities. The way you clench your fist can tell you more about yourself that you even wanted to know! Let's find out on a weird, fist clenching journey together. 
             Figuring out what kind of personality you have based on your fist is easy. First, make a fist and see which way your fingers lay. Do you wrap your fingers around your thumb? Or does the thumb remain on the outside of your fist? Or is it neither, and your thumb rests next to your finger? 

1. THUMB NEXT TO YOUR FINGERS
External personality
         If you hold your fist like in picture, you are likely to be sensitive and thoughtful.  Also insecure, compassionate, possess a strong imagination, and you like helping other people. Sometimes, it's almost as if you have a sixth sense when it comes to knowing other people's innermost feelings. You have a great curiosity in things around you and are not afraid to explore. 

Internal personality
         You want to feel protected, recognized, accepted and be treated sincerely. But sometimes, you think wrongly that others would also have these qualities. This result in misunderstanding and disappoinment sometimes. However, you know who treats you in a good way, and who in a bad way. You know what to love and what to hate. 

Love personality
          You are not good at expressing love, if your partner feels that your love is 30%,in fact, it is 50% or more than that. You will not be honest, dilute the expression of feelings, and suppress your emotions. Not the person who never gets angry, you suppress your bad temper for love. You get used to treating people nicely, you never know what selfishness is. 

2. THUMB IN FRONT OF FINGERS
External personality
         If you hold your fist as in picture, then you are talented, charismatic and able to make friends,no matter which situation you are in. You are confident and have lot of pride, but you are also hardworking and hence, have reason to be proud of your achievements. Also generous, flexible, alert, eye catching, dedicated and are full of ideas as well as you care a lot about power. You can tell you've got power, because this is the proper form of a fist to make when you throw a punch. Not that you want you, necessarily. 

Internal personality
         However, in actual fact, you are vulnerable, have high expectations, want too many things, but you are afraid of getting hurt and betrayal. You often need encouragement, and at the end of the day, you're just looking for someone to understand and accept you for who you are.

Love personality
          Always overthink, stuck yourself in the depressing memories, hard to let go. You always hesitate, eager to have someone accompany, but not allow yourself to do so. Because you love your partner very much,and you don't want him/her to hate or sick you,thus,you act like you do not care and everything does not matter to you. 

3. THUMB RESTING INSIDE FINGERS
External personality
         If you hold your fist as in picture, you are creative and witty person who is clever with words. You are emotional, agile, practical, thoughtful and alert. Also you are smart, good at manipulating and a peacemaker, because you always think a lot from others' perspective,but you can also be a bit sensitive and have a tendency to worry too much. You may have a lot going on in your mind, but most of the time, you choose not to say them out. 

Internal personality
         Most of the time, you tend to be silent, but that is your mildness, you usually prefer to sacrifice yourself rather than hurting others' feelings. All you need is for someone to understand you which is not hard to be done, and you want flexibility and dreams. 

Love personality
         You really don't like the hustle and bustle circumstances, a comfortable environment is good place for you, and so does your relationship. Your greatest weakness is having a soft heart. Even when a person does a lot of harm to you, if that person sincerely apologizes, you are able to forgive and forget.

Psychology facts everyone should know

            Learning something new about yourself is always interesting and entertaining. And understanding the psychology behind the way we behave,treat others and express ourselves can be even more appealing. 
            Here are some amazing psychology facts that justify why we act or feel the way we do and our responses to things that happen to us. Some of them might surprise you. 

Chocolate discharges the same chemical into your body that is produced when you start falling in love. 
              When you eat chocolate, it releases several neurotransmitters in your brain that have a positive effect on human feelings. 
              One of the main neurotransmitters released is phenylethylamine, which causes alertness, excitement, quickens the pulse rate and makes you happy! 
              It is often referred to as 'THE LOVE DRUG' because it arouses feelings similar to those that occur when someone in love. 

A hug longer than 20 seconds will release chemicals into your body that make you trust the person you're hugging. 
               Through the release of oxytocin chemical in the body, the brain knows that everything is safe and that there is no need to worry. 

Research has found that good relationships are more important to a long life,than exercise. 
                 University of North Carolina at chapel hill researchers found that the size and quality of a person's social ties affect specific health measures, such as abdominal obesity and hypertension at different points in their lives. 

▶ Falling in love has a similar neurological effect as getting high on cocaine. 
                  Falling in love affects intellectual areas of the brain and triggers the same sensation of excitement experienced by people when they intake cocaine. 

When you hold the hands of loved one, you feel pain less keenly and worry less. 
               Pain can be modulated by touch. The move creates a connection between brains that can be measurably reduce physical pain being endured by one of the parties.

Being with happy people makes you happier. 
              This amazing psychology fact should come as no suprise.  

Doing things that scare you, will make you happier. 
                 You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, " I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along".You must do the thing you think you cannot do. 

Good morning and good night text messages activate the part of the brain responsible for happiness. 

▶ You can't multi-task
               Don't believe the multi tasking hype scientists say, surprising psychology fact isn't it? 
              New research shows that we humans aren't good as we think we are at doing several things at once. But it also highlights a human skill that gave us an evolutionary edge. 

▶ People who try to keep everyone happy often end up feeling loneliest. 
                  Their happiness is making others smile. But in return people don't care enough and they feel alone. 

The happier we are, less sleep we require. 
                  Our natural emotional state changes how much sleep we need. When you're happy you don't need as much restoration because you didn't experience as much stress that you need to recover from. Our emotions are indicators that tell us how much stress our mind and body are experiencing. 

Your brain does more creative work when you're tired. 
                  If you're trying to do creative work, you'll actually have more luck when you're more tired and your brain isn't functioning as efficiently. 
                 This sounds crazy, but it actually makes sense when you look at the reasoning behind it. 
                 It's one of the reasons why great ideas often happen in the shower after a long day at work. 

The brain treats rejection like physical pain. 
                 We all know that rejection hurts, but neuroscience has concluded that it does in fact, literally, hurt. 
                While the brain does not process emotional pain and physical pain identically, the reaction and cascading events are very similar, and the same natural chemical is released during both events. 

People who have a strong sense of guilt are better at understanding other people's thoughts and feelings. 

▶ People with low self-esteem tend to try and humiliate others. 
                 So they can bring them down to their level, so that they feel the same pain. They don't like seeing some people living a happy life, it makes them angry and annoyed by the fact that some people cannot understand the feelings they feel. 

Smart people underestimate themselves and ignorant people think they're brilliant. 
                It is called the DUNNING KRUGER EFFECT, where the highly skilled assume that things they find easy are also easy for others. And the unskilled are so incompetent that they can't recognize their own stupidity. 

When you remember a past event, you are remembering the last time you remembered it. 
                Alright, this is one of those amazing psychology fact that blew the hell out of my mind. 
               This is why our memories fade and distort over time. 

 Our emotions don't affect the way we communicate. 
               In fact, the very opposite is true: the way we communicate has an influence on our mood. 

Human behavioural studies suggest that a person who loses their cell phone, experiences a panic similar to a near death experience. 

▶ People who speak two languages may unconsciously shift their personalities when they switch from one language to another. 

The important thing to remember,when reading a list like this,is you should be paying attention to know how you feel. Your inner guide will keep you moving towards a happier life if you let it.

Truth about butterflies in your stomach


          We all have experienced a variety of gut feelings and gut reactions associated with different emotions, including anxiety, anger and sadness. "butterflies in the stomach" is the familiar experience.While it's a universal, even charming experience,butterflies mean that a complex interaction has been activated from deep within the brain, manifesting throughout the body, including the digestive system. Even more outlandish and provocative is the, recently proposed idea by Dr. Emeran Mayer, that the 100 trillion microbes living in our gut may have a word to say in this mind - gut conversation. 
           "Any emotion or stress response that originates in the brain will change many gut functions", Mayer, a gastroenterologist, neuroscientist and professor of medicine at UCLA,said in an interview. 
           " The gut will change like a face, associated with every emotion" Mayer said. When we experience an emotion,the brain talks to the gut,and the gut responds back to the brain. 
              Emotion related changes will also affect the gut microbes and the molecules they produce. That creates a feedback loop, by sending more information back to the brain either through the bloodstream or the vagus nerve, which is a part of autonomic nervous system. When that happens, the hypothalamus in the brain produces a hormone called Corticotropin-releasing factor,or CRF. It spreads to the amygdala, which makes your hand sweat, heart race and stomach clench. CRF also signals the adrenal glands to release cortisol and adrenalin, and tells the enteric nervous system to divert energy away from digestion. The stomach slows down and may even reverse, and the intestines speed up. This is the "butterflies in the stomach" feeling. 
              Blood flow is diverted to the muscles and away from the gut,creating characteristics facial expressions. The only difference is that while everybody can read an emotional facial expression,we are completely unaware of the emotion related events going on in our gut. 

Now the next time you hear someone say, they have butterflies on their stomach, you know exactly why that's happening.

What your sleep position reveals about your personality?

              Your sleep position reveal a lot about your personality and your thoughts. Its surprising to know that your body is communicating even when you are fast asleep. 
             When it comes to sleep positions, the one you tend to favor at night says a lot more about you than you may realize. The way we choose to sleep at night is an intimate question of what we find comfortable and what is comforting to us. The way in which we snooze is something that we do while we are unconscious, making it a honest expression of our innermost selves. 
          Your sleeping position can even benefit your life beyond the bed. 

What type of sleepers are you? 

1. SIDE SLEEPER 
             log roller position
                   
           The sleeper rests on their side, legs extended straight and arms in place. This is the most popular position for any sleeper. 
           You might think that sleep with this style is boring and super stiff, but exact opposite is actually true. 
           Log sleepers are typically social butterflies, friendly, carefree and extremely trusting, which can sometimes make them seem a little more gullible to outsiders. 
           This position keeps your neck and back in alignment,making it one of the best position for back pain and neck pain. To help ease any discomfort, you can also use a pillow or blanket between your knees. 

          ➡ Yearner
         
      
            Yearner sleep like similar to log sleep position, but their arms are stretched out in front of them and also sleeper snoozes on the side. 
            These folks tend to be open minded, slow and suspicious when decision making, but once their minds are set, they set on that path. Good and reliable friends. 

2. BACK SLEEP
          ➡ soldier/ back track
              

            Sleeps on their back, with their arms straight down at their side - like they are standing in attention. Studies say that only 8% of people sleep this way. 
            Soldiers are typically quiet, strong and focused people who don't like big fuss. 
            They have high expectations for themselves and others around them. 
            This is the best sleeping position out there,because it allows your back and neck to be in their alignment. 
            When you are lying back your throat is more narrow, making snoring louder and more frequent. This restricts the air ways and may also be a poor sleeping position for those suffering from sleep apnea. 

          ➡ Star gazer

             They lie on their backs with legs stretched out, arms stretched up beyond the head, looking like a starfish on land. This is the least popular sleep style by numbers. Truly unique. 
            Those who sleep in this dreamy position have a positive, happy-go-lucky outlook in life, they are very loyal friends and make relationships a great priority. 
           They love to be supportive, tend to help friends when they are in problems. 

3. STOMACH SLEEP
          ➡ sky diver
        They sleep on their stomach,head on one side, with their arms wrapped around behind a pillow. 
       These sleepers have open,playful and fun personalities,they seem to be spirited, but skydiver sleepers can be secretly anxious and crave control of situations,and they tend to be risk takers. 
         This position greatly increase the risk of neck and back pain, because it crunches the sensitive muscles that protect that area, while flattening the spine nerve causing strain that may lead to back pain and air blockage. 

          ➡ Foetal / baby position
             The person sleep on their side with their legs curled up underneath them. The most common of them all, 41% of all sleepers adopt this position. 
             Baby position sleepers have a tough exterior that hides a shy and sensitive nature inside. 
            They tend to be quite personable, even if they come off as shy upon first meeting. 
            Sleeping in the foetal position causes least amount of sleep disturbance.
           Best position for aligning the spine as well as one of the best sleeping position for back pain. 

Do you have the same personalities as it says?

The very last person on your mind before you fall sleep is either the reason for your happiness or pain.


           We human beings,have the power to remember much of what happens in our life with the people we meet. But we also have the power of prioritizing and discard memories sub-consciously. We remember the moments which have had a significant impact on our life and forget those which haven't affects as much.
          After a busy day, with many instances stored in your mind, you turn off the lights and get under the sheets, letting your head sink into your pillow and your eyes close in darkness. WHAT COMES TO YOUR MIND? Thoughts of a person pop up outstanding any other memory, the person who created many pages in your life, made you smile,gave memories to cherish, made your life meaningful and perhaps hurt you too at the same time. 
          People who are associated with happiness and pain in our life can never step out of our memories easily. It is not the memory that make us feel happy or sad, but the person behind it. Not every person you meet can make you happy or cause you pain. There is one person who can awake both feelings, a person who can give you happiness and also cause you enormous pain. Truth is,you hate that person with love. You will give that person many exceptions related to your likes and dislikes. 
         It is when you go to sleep at night and close your eyes,that you open the doors to your heart; a connection establishes and paves the way to your world. There is only one in it and that person is the reason for your happiness or pain, and only that person is capable of nullifying the distance between happiness and pain in your life.

Cat's brain vs human brain

A CAT'S BRAIN IS MORE SIMILAR TO A HUMAN BRAIN AND THEY HAVE IDENTICAL REGIONS RESPONSIBLE FOR EMOTIONS. 

               According to researches at Tufts University School of Veterinary medicine,cats and humans have almost identical brain structures.Specifically in the region which controls emotion. The human brain and the cat brain both have cerebral cortices with similar lobes. 
           Cats brain measures about two inches, weighs between 0.9 to 1.1 ounces and occupies about 0.9% of their body mass,compared to about 2% in an average human. Cat's brain structure and surface folding is 90% similar to that of humans. 

➡ Just like humans, cats have temporal, occipital, frontal and parietal lobes in their brains. Additionally,cat's brain also contain grey and white matter and the connections within their brains seem to mirror those of humans.
➡ Cats have more nerve cells in the visual areas of their brain, a part of the cerebral cortex (where rational decision making, planning, memory, language processing and complex problem solving takes place), than humans and most mammals.  "Thats why,for instance your cat races from one end of the house to the other chasing a speck of dust that you don't even see. It's on a mission"

➡ Cats seem to think in the same way as humans do, partly owing to the similarity of neurotransmitters, which are used in conveying data. Cats recieve input from the basic five senses and process that, just as humans do. 

➡ Memory is how the brain stores, recalls and uses information learned from past experiences. Like us, cats also have short and long term memory function and did you know that cats can recall information from up to 16 hours in the past?

➡ Like humans, cats learn by observation and doing. As an example,opening the doors, ringing the bell etc. This is technical memory and cats can excel at it. Research shows that memories last 10 years or more. 

➡ While cats may not be able to appreciate colors as much as we do, they can keep tabs on objects in motion far better than we can.Color vision is not really important for them. 

➡ Just as humans, advancing age may affect memory in cats. Some cats may experience a weakening of both learning ability and memory. That affects them adversely in ways similar to those occuring in aging humans. Mostly short term memory is more affected with aging.
