Movement Governs Mind

What about the other way around? How much influence does the way we move have upon our mental state or emotions?

          The state of being upside down, or even merely spinning really quickly without spotting, could be considered to be a contributing factor to the mental state of dizziness, which would then change the movements observed in a dizzy person yet again, to stumbling, tripping or falling. However, it is the first movements mentioned that determine the dizzy mentality. Mentality is constrained by the movement, in the sense that all capability of remaining focussed goes out the window when dizzy. We have a blood rush to the head. Our ability to think clearly would be impaired, and so it could be said that our bodies in space have just as much influence over our thoughts, as our mental state does over our actions.
