Positive Emotion’s Effect on the Eyes

Physiologically, all of our emotions and feelings are the result of chemical reactions taking place in our body. These reactions are responsible for making us feel negative emotions, like anger and sadness as well as positive emotions, like love and joy.

According to the study “Emotional States and Physical Health”5 published in the journal of American Psychologist, positive emotional states may promote healthy perceptions, beliefs, and physical well-being. They help us build physical, psychological, and social resources, and motivate health-relevant behaviors. As anticipated by the Greek physician Hippocrates, positive emotions and healthy outcomes are linked through multiple pathways. For example, when we are happy, our body produces healthy doses of dopamine and nitric oxide. Research showed these neurotransmitters could slow eye elongation and prevent myopia.6,7 Pleasant feelings also have direct positive effects on physiology, especially the immune system.

Now that we know negative emotions may lead to blurry eyesight and positive emotions prevent myopia, we can start forming new habits to tune ourselves to positive “channels” more often. I also encourage you to become an emotional archaeologist—to excavate buried feelings, partially forgotten hurts and unresolved issues that you did not want to look at. Only then can you shine your inner light upon them and set them free.

ACTION STEPS

» See life as a great adventure. Be open to accept and embrace natural changes such as puberty and aging, or unpredictable changes such as illness and loss.

» Use visualization to go back in time and resolve the buried feelings and hurtful emotions, such as failure, wounds, loss, fear, insecurity, misunderstanding, judgement, and other forms of emotional stress. Give yourself permission to feel sad and bad. Give each of these feelings a label. Acknowledge that you now have more tools and experiences to release them and move up to positivity. By processing these feelings, you can unlock these emotions, process them, shine your inner light on them, and transform them.

» Cultivate positive qualities such as self-acceptance, self-compassion, and self-forgiveness. Give acceptance, compassion, and forgiveness to the “younger you” and others who caused you the hurt in the past.

» Emotion is linked to stress; thus, how we handle stressful situations makes a huge difference. Remember to apply the methods to reduce stress outlined in habit #10.
