For example
The "Mental Treat" "bite" is based on the principle of embodiment and helps with frustration, dissatisfaction and despair. If you take the lollipop across your mouth so that it makes contact with the corners of your mouth, it automatically pulls the corners of your mouth up with it. Even if it's fake, you smile. The muscular jaw and face relaxation is transmitted to the emotion center in the brain and provides mental relaxation. Experiments confirm that after 2 minutes in this position testosterone levels (dominance hormone) increase and cortisol levels (stress hormone) decrease. You become more confident, calm and have less nervous flutter.
