Hello my friends, and welcome to the Discover Your Personal Power Podcast, the show to help you live a life filled with peace, purpose, and power. My goal on this podcast is to give you something fun and meaningful to make your day a little brighter. I want to help you find your light and your personal power within.
Do you ever find yourself in the process of reflexively emulating the behavior of someone else? Like seeing someone laugh and now you want to laugh too. Or seeing someone that is sad and you suddenly feel sad too. There is a totally natural and normal phenomenon called mirroring. More specifically we can call it neuronal mirroring or limbic synchrony or emotional contagion. Whether we like it or not as humans we seek to connect, it's primitive. Our primitive brain automatically wants to mimic the gestures, facial expressions, or words of those we engage with. Sometimes this can be good and sometimes this can be not so good.
Listen more to learn about this really cool phenomenon.
Let me know what you think.
