Park Jimin Beautiful - Tumblr Posts
Park Jimin really stimulates my vagus nerve.
That's not what you think it is.
Well yes, I'm only human too...
but that's not what I'm talking about here...
I'm talking about AWE.
Different from joy or admiration, awe is an emotional response to something - or someone - vastly impressive or beautiful or inspiring (or all of the above in the case of Park Jimin).
Awe is that "oh, wow" feeling.
Sometimes it's inspired by a feat of courage or a grand performance. Other times it's something so beautiful it makes you breathless (or both in the case of Park Jimin).
The key is that it is triggered by something that is outside of the everyday experience, maybe beyond understanding. It has to be mesmerising, remarkable, wonderful (or all of the above ...yeah you know where I'm going with this).
So what does this have to do with my vagus nerve?
I'm glad you asked!
The vagus nerve (no, thats not it. It means wandering) is the nerve that links your brain basically to the rest of your body. It reaches from your brain stem all the way through your abdomen.
The vagus nerve controls your automatic responses. This is the nervous system that's responsible for that swooping feeling in your belly (when you when you look at pictures of Park Jimin) as well as the racing of your heart (when you watch Park Jimin dance).
Your vagus nerve is active in both directions. Your brain will send messages to your body via the vagus nerve (fight or flight as an example) but you can also use it to reduce stress and anxiety. You can engave your vagus nerve to down-regulate your stress response.
How can you do that? One way is by experiencing awe.
I'm not making this up.
Scientific studies have proven this. Besides the rush of endorphins when you have that "oh wow' response, awe reduces the focus on yourself and shifts your perspective. That's good for your physical and emotional health for a bunch of reasons.**
So, looking at pictures of Park Jimin and watching him dance can improve your health?
Yes, that's right!
Ask your GP to prescribe a daily dose of Park Jimin for continued good health. Or take matters into your own hands and make him part of your daily self-care routine.
You can thank me later.

Slow Dance by Jimin & Sophia
What an absolutely stunning performance of Slow Dance by Jimin and Sophia Carson. Sophia's beautiful voice was a perfectly chosen addition to this song.
Kamsahamnida Sophia 💛
And it ended with possibly the most chaste hug in history from our polite and respectful Jiminie.
He extended an invitation for Sophia to accept to the extent she chose.
Jimin's manners hands not even making contact, and his face turned away.
Would all those delinquents who describe him as a womaniser care to explain?
What's he made of 🤣🤣🤣
Sugar and spice and all things nice, but he has a few snaps and snail too!
But i agree. I am in awe. Im sure it's illegal to be this beautiful.
Look what he looks like when he gets out of bed!
Unbelievable!!!
The prettiest face in showbiz:
How's he even real? What is he made of? I've got so many questions...
Seriously, without exaggerating, this man has the most beautiful face I've ever seen.
Bisous 💜
