Hinesh Chauhan whistles constantly at work, much to his coworkers' annoyance, because he says it genuinely lifts his mood. Humming improves vagal tone and influences gut flora. He's that guy microwaving fish in the office and whistling William Tell's overture before dawn.
I whistle. I whistle a lot. Not because I'm happy, but because it actually makes me happy. It elevates my mood. And if you sing or whistle or listen to music that's uplifting or uplifting to you, it will change your mood. And there's a lot of psychological and then physiological benefits from doing this. And then another interesting fact is humming. Humming creates a positive vagus nerve, or vagal tone, which is the nerve that connects your brain to your organs and can even affect the growth or death of certain gut flora. So by whistling and singing and humming, it creates physiological psychological benefits. So consider that and a shout out, an apology to everyone I've worked with who's had the misfortune. It's really how you perceive it, of putting up with my whistling in the office, their complaints. I also brought and microwave fish at work. I'm not sorry for that. I'm really not sorry for whistling either. Nor am I sorry for those who were in the army with me and had to listen to me whistle William Tell's overture, the intro to it in the morning. So just picture Bugs Bunny in the rising sun and that beautiful classical music. Sorry, not sorry.
