Sometimes when I already feel very tired and stressful, I pronounciate neologism that I don't know its meaning. But after I say that "word" I feel that my mood become better.
I pronounciate it slowly with deep intonation. For example : haaarrrghhh..
uuuennnn
Say "neologism"out loud a few times and feel the vibrations in your upper nose and sinuses. It's not much different from Aaa-ooom..." the well-known Buddhist chant. Those vibrations apparently stimulate nitric oxide release, among other things. Simply humming a melody has much the same effect. People hum to soothe themselves.
Definitely yes. I am living in a building with 500 apartments and have been in lock down for 2 months now due to the city government's ban on going out because of Covid-19. Every afternoon there is a person living on the 20th floor shouting a very loud word to relieve stress.
