A new <a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/17439760.2022.2053877?journalCode=rpos20">study</a> published in the Journal of Positive Psychology explores how feeling and showing gratitude can make people feel less used and objectified.

Introduction

“Objectification causes severe consequences, ranging from interpersonal indifference, reduced empathy and helping, aggression and bullying l, to even killing and genocide, therefore, it is important to find interventions to alleviate objectification.”

According to Wang, objectification refers to treating others as mere things or tools that can help in one’s goal achievement while denying others’ autonomy, needs, and feelings.

Researchers opinion

“Employees can be treated as mere instruments to aid the financial success of their employers, students can be treated by their classmates as note-takers, and women can be perceived and treated solely as an object of sexual desire without regard for their personality or dignity”

Combining classical definitions of objectification, Wang suggests that objectification is marked by seven key features:1. Instrumentality : When someone treats a target as a tool for his or her own purpose2. Fungibility : When someone treats a target as interchangeable with other objects3. Violability : When someone treats a target as lacking in boundary integrity

Seven Key Features - Part 1

4. Ownership: When someone treats a target as though the target can be owned5. Denial of autonomy: When someone treats a target as lacking in autonomy or self-determination6. Inertness: When someone treats a target as lacking in agency or activity7. Denial of subjectivity: When someone treats a target as someone whose experiences and feelings need not be taken into account

Seven Key Features - Part 2

Over a series of three studies that included writing gratitude letters and imagining the effects of gratitude in an environment prone to behaviors of objectification, Wang’s research concluded that gratitude, both as a feeling and as a gesture, lowered the levels of objectification in a given environment.

Research

“The effect of gratitude on weakening objectification can be due to its ability to reduce people's focus on their own needs. That is, when people become less concerned with their own wants and desires, they are less likely to see others as instruments to fulfill those needs and are less likely to fail to consider others’ personhood.”

For people who wish to cultivate gratitude in their daily lives, Wang proposes three simple tips: <ul><li>Reflection : Spend a few minutes every day thinking about the wonderful things in life (such as a movie, books, a TV show we enjoy, or even being able to bask in the sunshine). </li><li>Exposing ourselves to nature : Spend time in nature by traveling to a place where you can enjoy a magnificent environment. </li><li>Showing Appreciation : Writing a thank you note or verbally appreciating or thanking someone. </li> </ul>

Three tips

“Expressing gratitude doesn’t need to cost you anything financially. So just do it.”

7 Aspects of Feeling Objectified and How to Overcome Them

“You could leave life right now,”

<ol><li>If I were on my deathbed, would I have regrets?</li><li>Was I a decent person today?</li><li>Did I challenge myself today?</li><li>Did I have any fun today?</li><li>What am I grateful for today?</li></ol>

The Questions I Ask Myself Nightly:

Asking myself these things helps me live a more fulfilling life—the kind of life that I want to live. And I’m proud of what I’m doing here, right now. I think—at least I hope—my dad would be too.

Reason Of It?

it's about your choices after your loved ones...

Since my father died nine years ago, I've reflected a lot on my mortality, and I've asked myself these questions every night since.

5 Questions I Ask Myself Nightly Since My Father’s Sudden Death - Tiny Buddha

<ul><li>Regular use of sauna and other heat exposure can reduce mortality by cardiovascular events, stroke, and all-cause mortality.</li><li>Effects of deliberate heat mimic cardiovascular exercise.</li><li>Make sure you’re replacing the water you lose in the sauna – drink at least 16 ounces of water for every 10 minutes of sauna use.</li><li>Proper application of local heat may actually change the identity of fat cells at that location and encourage the conversion of white fat to beige fat.</li></ul>

Key Takeaways From The Podcast

<ul><li>Our body can heat up from outside in or inside out</li><li>We have two body temperatures: (1) skin/shell; (2) core (organs, viscera, spinal cord)</li><li>The brain is constantly sending signals to the body’s heating and cooling system based on the environment</li><li>If you throw a cold towel on your body, your brain will actually think you need to heat up your core</li><li>In a hot environment, the brain tries to cool down your core</li><li>The transition between hot and cold temperatures engages the process of heating and reheating</li></ul>

Heating Up Of Bodies

(1) Skin has neurons that sense changes in heat; (2) Electrical signals are sent to the spinal cord; (3) Signals are sent to the brain – specifically the preoptic area (POA) which send signals to the brain & body and trigger behavioral responses.The impulse to get yourself out of a hot environment is the consequence of the POA communicating with the amygdala and in turn activating adrenal glands

The Heating Up Mechanism

<ul><li>Regular use of sauna and other heat exposure can reduce mortality by cardiovascular events, stroke, and all-cause mortality.</li><li>You will become better adapted and better at sweating excess heat with frequent exposure.</li><li>Options if you don’t have access to a sauna: try hot water bath up to the neck – getting a similar temperature is key (176F-212F); wear a plastic suit (like fighters trying to drop weight).</li><li>Wet sauna and dry sauna are both acceptable; most infrared saunas don’t get hot enough.</li></ul>

Deliberate Heat Exposure Changes Biology

Hormone effects of heat: decrease in cortisol output.Activation of heat shock proteins (HSP): heat changes the way in which proteins are configured at a molecular level – HSP makes sure cells of the brain and body don’t misfoldHeat for lifespan: heat upregulates pathways related to DNA repair and clearing out of senescent cells.Heat for metabolic enhancement:  57 minutes per week (total, spread out across sessions) of heat exposure – cold exposure: 11 minutes per spread out of the uncomfortable but safe cold.Hormesis: subjecting yourself to enough stress to induce adaptation of some kind.

The Many Uses Of Body Heating

<ul><li>Growth hormone: impacts metabolism and growth of cells and tissues of the body, responsible for tissue repair and growth spurt during puberty.</li><li>Starting in the early 30s, growth hormone release is greatly diminished.</li><li>Sauna exposure increased growth hormone 16 fold – important caveat, effect on growth hormone went down with increased sauna use because body becomes heat adapted.</li><li>If growth hormone increase is your main goal for sauna use, limit to 1x/week or 1x/10 days – and enter fasted or without food in the 2-3 hours prior for maximum benefits.</li></ul>

Increase Of Growth Hormone

The endorphin system is activated when we experience short stress.Dynorphin system: the struggle of heat exposure ultimately activates pathways that lead to an increase in the baseline level of mood and heightened level of happiness and improved mood.

Improved Mood

Glabrous skin: hair-free skin found in palms of hands, soles of feet, the upper half of the face.Glabrous skin surfaces can be leveraged to cool the blood and core of the body.To warm a cold body: use a warm blanket or warmer on glabrous surfaces.To cool a hot body: use a cool compress, frozen or cold materials on glabrous surfaces.Fever is natural heat inoculation designed to kill pathogens in the body.

Adjusting Body Heat With Glabrous Skin Surfaces

Cold exposure (11 minutes per week, up to the neck) has been shown to increase brown fat which increases metabolism and the ability to feel comfortable in cold temperatures.Local heat exposure (not to the point of burning) converts white fat to beige fat which leads to systemic increases in thermogenesis, metabolism, and fat loss – children have a lot of brown and beige fat.

Types Of Fat & Responses To Temperature

I describe the mechanisms by which deliberate heat exposure impacts body temperature, metabolism, heart health, hormone production, exercise recovery, cognition, mood, and longevity. I detail specific protocols for deliberate heat exposure, including exposure times, temperature ranges to consider, time of day, and delivery mechanisms (sauna vs. hot bath vs. open air heat, etc.) in order to achieve different specific outcomes, including dramatic growth hormone releases, or reduction in cortisol levels. I also discuss the ability of locally applied heat to heal or otherwise improve various bodily tissues and new data on how local application of heat may induce the conversion of metabolically sluggish white fat to metabolically robust beige fat.

Are there differences between men and women in terms of beauty-enhancing behaviors? According to new research published in Environmental Research and Public Health, there is an overlooked side to masculinity; women invest more time on cosmetic usage, whilst men spend more time exercising and bodybuilding.

Summary of article

“There is this widespread belief that men have to wait for (eternity) hours until their female partners (finally) get ready. Usually, there is a kernel of truth in such shared worldviews because they often derive from actual world observations. But does such common knowledge perfectly reflect reality? As a woman myself, I always wondered if most women do indeed spend so much time on their attractiveness,”

“Or maybe it is just the distorted image created by all the ads, Hollywood movies, and TV series? After all, many studies provide evidence that being perceived as physically attractive by others (and oneself) is beneficial in multiple ways, both for women and men. So do modern men ‘don’t even try’ to enhance their beauty because it is ‘only a female’ thing to do? Luckily, in moments of doubt, science comes in.”

Women are more likely to use make-up and personal care products to improve their appearances. This does not, however, preclude men from engaging in other behaviours that may improve their appearance, such as muscle building. The increased media focus on male physique in recent decades coincides with evolutionary theories that emphasise the role of male upper body strength in intra- and inter-sexual competition. Women, for example, have more positive attitudes toward muscle, which may explain why men are more interested in their muscularity.

Stereotypes

Kowal and her colleague Piotr Sorokowski investigated how men and women attend to their appearances, as well as how much time each sex devotes to improving their appearances, in two studies. The first study recruited 121 people aged 18 to 49 using qualitative research methods. Participants were asked two open-ended questions, specifically: what do people do to improve their physical attractiveness? How do you improve your appearance?

The researchers narrowed down the responses to the eight most common beauty-enhancing behaviours participants shared, which included:<ol><li>make-up use</li><li>cosmetic use</li><li>cardio</li><li>strength training</li><li>hair grooming</li><li>body cleaning</li><li>hands grooming</li><li>and mirror-checking to adjust one's image.</li></ol>

Common behaviours

Study 2 enlisted 62 participants ranging in age from 20 to 67 and asked them to keep an online diary of their beauty-enhancing habits for one week. Thirty-three people responded to each of the outlined questions on all seven days, with the average number of daily diary entries being 3.76. On the first day, demographic information (age, gender, and education) was provided.

Second Study

Participants also completed the NPI-13 and indicated their self-perceived physical attractiveness (e.g., how attractive would you rate yourself?) and daily intensity of improving their appearances. The appearance-improving scale included eight questions that assessed the eight different types of beauty-enhancing behaviours identified in Study 1. Participants specifically indicated the number of minutes (ranging from 1 min to 6 hrs) they spent on each activity per day. Over the next six days, self-perceived physical attractiveness and daily intensity of improving appearances were also assessed.

Narcissistic Personality Inventory-13

“First of all, our study highlights that ways to achieve a good look vary between both sexes. While in general women focus on stereotypically female activities that increase their appeal, such as putting on makeup, men may be more interested in more masculine activities, such as bodybuilding or even caring for their hair,”

“Secondly, when we narrow the definition of beauty-enhancing behaviors only to those stereotypically perceived as female, unsurprisingly, women appear to spend more time improving their looks. However, when we broaden the definition to include various activities – including those stereotypically connected with masculinity, like cardio or physical exercise – the sex difference might decrease or even disappear!”

The researcher added, “Modern masculinity is evolving. It becomes culturally more and more acceptable for men to admit they want to look physically attractive and attend to their attractiveness.” With regard to study limitations, she noted, “Although our study is innovative, as it utilizes a diary design (i.e., participants filled the diary each day for seven days, reporting all the activities they performed on the given day that were aimed to increase their attractiveness), the sample size warrants caution when drawing any general conclusions."

"Future studies should investigate this matter on larger and more diverse samples. To address the limitations of this study, my team and I conducted large cross-cultural research on physical-enhancing behaviors. We recruited 107,715 participants from 175 countries, so please, stay tuned for the results of this research!”

“We observed that individuals who perceive themselves as more (vs. less) attractive spend more time improving their looks. As our study is correlational in nature, future research could investigate what a cause is (and what is a consequence). For example, is it that the belief of one’s attractiveness stems from intensified self-care, or instead being beautiful leads to increased efforts to preserve one’s beautifulness? Or perhaps, they are so interrelated that it is like this conundrum: ‘Which came first: the chicken or the egg?’.”

The research, “<a href="https://doi.org/10.3390/ijerph19073842">Sex Differences in Physical Attractiveness Investments: Overlooked Side of Masculinity</a>”, was authored by Marta Kowal and Piotr Sorokowski.

Children who experienced often faced anxiety, as a result their body produce stress hormones.If this happens alot, these hormones become toxic for developing brain.

The Neglect Theory

Leads to:<ul><li>Lower IQ server</li><li>Delayed language development</li><li>Lack of creative thinking.</li></ul>Because our brain build connections with every new experiences and stimulation. If there are no rich experience, during the first year of life – the period in which the brain develops the fastest – children are not able to build foundation necessary for optimal future learning.They miss out for life.

1. Cognitive Neglect

Most often suffer from...<ul><li>Stunted growth</li><li>Some contradicted with HIV</li><li>Hepatitis B</li></ul>As a result of reusing medical supplies.

2. Physical Neglect 

Leads to...<ul><li>An excessive production of the stress hormones (known as adrenaline and cortisol), like poison for developing brain.</li><li>Distorted the understanding of physical love and relationships.</li><li>Done to trust nobody.</li><li>Dipression, insomnia and social anxiety.</li></ul>

3. Emotional Neglect 

If you experienced any form of neglect, try to intimidate the idea that " it was never your fault and maybe not even your parents fault either. "

How You Can Deal?

If you dealing with negligence, how you can consider yourself in that situation?, how you can deal with that form?

Children who experience physical, cognitive or emotional neglect, often face anxiety. As a result, their body produces stress hormones. If this happens a lot, these hormones become toxic for their developing brain, which then later can repress emotional and cognitive well-being for life.

How to improve self-control 

You know those people who are just always happy? The ones that no matter what’s going on, they just seem to find something positive in the situation? You might think it’s some sort of inherent trait, but it isn’t – anyone can learn how to be happy and positive! Follow these tips to learn how to attain happiness in your life.

5 Ways to attain happiness 

Think about all of the things you have in your life right now that you are grateful for. Think about what it means to be truly grateful and express those feelings by writing a letter or making a list of things that you’re thankful for at every moment throughout each day. This helps us realize how amazing our lives really are, which leads us to appreciate ourselves more and feel happier as a result.

1.Gratitude.

One of the best things you can do for yourself is helping others – even just a little bit can make you feel a lot better about yourself, and it will brighten up someone else’s day as well! Donate some time or money to a charity you believe in, volunteer at an animal shelter, or help someone carry their groceries; everyone has experienced some sort of struggle in their lives and we all w

2.Helping others.

Think about why you want to be happy. What are you lacking that you think will make you happy? Why do you want it? And how do you think attaining it will make you feel? Chances are, if all of these questions have answers, there’s a place for a deeper look at what is making us unhappy or unfulfilled as well as what we can do to fix them so we can feel content with ourselves and our lives.

3.Find your purpose and work on it.

One of the biggest things you can do for yourself is surround yourself with positive people and influence. Happiness is infectious, and when you have happy people surrounding you, it’s easy to stay positive—the opposite is also true: negativity can infect others! Avoid being around negative thinkers as much as possible (even if they are friends or family) because those vibes are not conducive for living a happy, successful life.

4.Be around positive minded people.

Learn to live in present moment and stop thinking about past or future. We can’t change past, but we can affect our future, so stop worrying about it!

5.Live the moment.

This is to help you understand why and how you should be happy in your life.

You know those people who are just always happy? The ones that no matter what’s going on, they just seem to find something positive in the situation? You might think it’s some sort of inherent trait, but it isn’t – anyone can learn how to be happy and positive! Follow these tips to learn how…

5 Ways to attain happiness in your life.

<ul><li>Two studies have linked ultraprocessed foods to a higher risk of death from all causes.</li><li>One found people ate 500 calories more per day than those who ate minimally processed foods.</li><li>Another found that the more processed food a person ate, the higher their risk of type 2 diabetes.</li><li>Processed foods may disturb the gut microbiome, the trillions of diverse bacteria lining our intestines and colon.</li><li>This may cause inflammation and increase the risk of chronic disease.</li></ul>

Those Ultraprocessed Foods Are Worse Than We Thought

<ul><li>Industrial formulations are made entirely or mostly from substances extracted from foods (oils, fats, sugar, starch, and proteins), derived from food constituents (hydrogenated fats and modified starch), or synthesized in laboratories from food substrates or other organic sources.</li><li>They're pumped full of chemicals and other additives for colour, flavour, texture, and shelf life.</li><li>This processing generally increases the flavour and caloric density of the foods while stripping away the fibre, vitamins, and nutrients.</li></ul>

Defining Ultraprocessed Foods

<ul><li>Diet is the No. 1 influencer and determinant of our gut microbiome composition</li><li>The more diversity of bacteria in the gut microbiome, the better for our health</li><li>Researchers have found that the further away people were from industrialization and ultraprocessed foods, the more diverse their gut microbiome was.</li></ul>

Industrialization Is Killing Everyone

<ul><li>One theory is that these ingredients impair the microbial life in our gut, instead of helping it flourish.</li><li>Another theory, outlined in a recent review paper on the effects of the Western diet on the microbiome, is that the sugar in ultraprocessed foods may feed harmful bacteria in the gut, causing them to bloom</li><li>There's still a lot that scientists have to learn. For now, researchers have figured out that it's not just what's added to processed foods that may hurt the gut microbiome. It's also what's missing.</li></ul>

Killing Of Microbial Life Inside Our Guts

<ul><li>Fermentable fibres, which include all soluble fibres and some insoluble fibres, are metabolized or fermented by bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract, producing chemicals, including short-chain fatty acids, that are important food sources for our gut bacteria.</li><li>When we do not consume enough fibre, we are essentially starving our gut microbiome, which is likely detrimental for a variety of reasons.</li></ul>

Refined Foods Remove All The Fibre

<ul><li>Antagonizing the microbiota by highly processed diets - starving it by removing fibre and attacking it with emulsifiers - promotes inflammation</li><li>That can hamper the body's ability to feel satiated and result in overeating</li></ul>
