why we love story? Tips on to became a best story teller

HELLO Steemitians, today i gonna tell you why we love stories , science behind story and how to become a good story teller.

As humans, stories are one of our most powerful forms of communication.A good story can make or break a presentation, article, or conversation.Stories can be told on pages,in pictures, in TVs,on radio and in recent years we can read,hear on though online.No matter where you are from and what age you are everyone in the world loves a good story.
BUT WHY IS THAT?
The Origin Of Stories.
Our love of stories span back to our childhood. When our mother, father and guardian told us bedtime stories like king_queen created to delight or relax us.As we become aware from the world and environment around us.Story begin to take the form of those little white lies told to us by our parents trying to desperately to explain more complex concepts like baby delivery stork and 'cat-heaven'.

As we grow older we engaged with different kind of stories -those with culutural indication. These stories are used as equipment to learn lesson on our on uniqe history of our culture and pass tradition and belief in system.One of the most historical examples of this has been the generational passage of stories amongst the Australian Indigenous, known as The Dreaming.

With more than 600 identified language groups, Indigenous history dates back between an estimated 50,000 to 65,000 years. Throughout the disruption of European settlement and enormous changes to Australia’s political culture in more recent history, the spiritual connection fostered through Indigenous Dreaming stories has remained strongly intact. Through song, dance, painting and storytelling, The Dreaming has carried on the accumulated wisdom of Indigenous ancestors and enabled future generations to maintain a link with their cultural heritage.
SCIENCE OF STORYTELLING AND TIPS ON HOW TO BECOME A BETTER STORYTELLER.
Many year ago, a team of scientist research on it and discovered the connection beteen mind and stories which is responsible for empathy and cooperation. These feeling are controlled by a chemical named as 'oxytocin'. This chemical increase when we are told story which resolve with us.
Scientist take blood samples of participents before and after listening a story and they were able to expose them who heared a strong character based story had higher level of oxytocin in their blood immideately.
What did mean that in daily life routine?Ok, it mean that engaing narratives could be used to encourage natural willingness to help others.For example, how much more likey you are to donate to a charaty when you see the picturea and hear about of those in need?
With the help of brain imaging , neurologist have also shown that our brain becomes more active when e are told a story.Normally, the 'language-processing' region of brain active when we take a new information.When this information delivered in form of a story other areas of brain becomes activated as well, such as sensory cortex and motor cortex.These are the parts of brain typically triggered when we experince events first hand.

So, what’s the best way to elicit that connection when you tell stories?

#1 Don’t commentate; describe.
We were taught by Dale Carnegie to “Tell the audience what you’re going to say, say it; then tell them what you’ve said.” But storytelling doesn’t work like that.

In order to make your audience’s brains respond as if they’re inside the story, you need just to describe what was happening to you at the time it happened–without necessarily adding opinions or context.

Think of telling a story as making a movie inside your audience’s head. Instead of using voiceover (no pictures) or montage (brief, not very descriptive pictures), tell your story in action scenes. Get granular with the detail. What did it look like? What was happening? Who was there? What did they say?

Here’s an example of someone launching you immediately into an action scene as the story begins:

#2 Use sensory information
Make your descriptions rich. Activate the sensory cortex in your listeners by focusing on smell, touch, sound and feelings in your stories. This story begins immediately by doing this:

#3 Fill your stories with emotion
The biggest mistake I see people making in storytelling is leaving out how they felt. When you include emotions in a story, your audience’s mirror neurons will make them feel those emotions, too.

When we experience empathy, our brains release oxytocin, the “bonding chemical” which leads to feelings of connection and trust.

Further, scientists have discovered that, when we experience an emotionally charged event, our amygdala release dopamine, which helps with information processing and aids memory.

So, if you want people to trust you more, and remember what you said, include emotions in your storytelling!

Bonus tip: To increase the likelihood of activating your audience’s mirror neurons, instead of just naming the emotion you felt, describe how it physically felt in your body. So, rather than “I was happy”, you might say, “It felt like I had warm honey moving through my chest and I couldn’t stop smiling”.

#4 Edit, Edit, Edit!
Telling the truth in your stories isn’t the same as telling EVERYTHING!

John Medina, the New York Times best-selling author and developmental molecular biologist, discovered that the brain has a very short attention span, so it’s important to make sure every part of your story has a place.

1Think about what you most want to get across in your story. Then, include details that support this, and take almost everything else out. Does it matter that you had a cold that day? No? Leave it out. Is it important that your mom was wearing a red jacket? Yes? That can stay in.

One thing Medina discovered that we do pay attention to is emotions. Given the release of dopamine and oxytocin we experience, this is no surprise! So, again, your emotional state is a detail worth leaving in.

When you stick to the essential scenes and details plus emotions, you can get across a lot in a short period of time as these five, ninety-second stories show:

#5 Don’t throw in spoilers!
When telling a story, stick to the chronological order that things happened to you in real life. In other words, don’t give us details that you yourself didn’t know, until the part of your story where you discovered them.

By telling us what’s going to happen later, you lose the tension in your story. For example, if you were telling a story about a job interview, then said, “At this point, I didn’t realize that they’d already given the job to someone else” – we stop caring about what happens in that interview, because we know the outcome already.

This is important because, as Paul J. Zak’s studies found, tension is one of the key aspects of holding attention in stories. By throwing in “spoilers”, you lose this tension, which, Zak says, is essential to creating emotional resonance between the storyteller and the audience.

In summary
When you’re telling a story, make sure you lay off the thoughts and opinions, stick to the important details, and focus on sensory description and emotions. Ask yourself, “What did it look like?” and “How did I feel?”
