“Don’t think your way out of stress, breathe your way out of stress.”Today's guest is Neuroscientist Dr. Andrew Huberman who is a Professor of Neurobiology and Ophthalmology at Stanford University. He also runs Huberman Lab which studies brain states - such as fear, courage, anxiety, calm - and how we can better move in and out of them through practices like visual cues, breath work, movement, and supplementation. This is Part 1 of 2, so be sure to listen to Part 2 after this!In Part 1, Lewis and Huberman discuss, how to use the mind to your benefit when you experience stress, the two types of stress and how to deal with them, Huberman's thoughts on the Law of Attraction, and so much more!For more go to: www.lewishowes.com/1072Check out Huberman’s website: www.hubermanlab.com Learn more about Yoga Nidra: https://www.youtube.com/user/AmritYogaInstituteThe Wim Hof Experience: Mindset Training, Power Breathing, and Brotherhood: https://link.chtbl.com/910-podA Scientific Guide to Living Longer, Feeling Happier & Eating Healthier with Dr. Rhonda Patrick: https://link.chtbl.com/967-podThe Science of Sleep for Ultimate Success with Shawn Stevenson: https://link.chtbl.com/896-pod
Andrew Huberman shares practical techniques to manage stress and anxiety, including breathing techniques, the importance of sleep, and visual cues to shift brain states.
The two types of stress are acute stress, which is the immediate response to a short-term stressor, and chronic stress, which occurs over an extended period of time. It's important to take control of your mind and body to calm down and reduce the stress response in both cases.
Older adults with brain damage may struggle to control their behavior due to the impairment of their frontal cortex. Engaging in physical activities like exercise can help take control of the body and indirectly lead to better control of the mind’s behavior.
Heart rate variability is significant in managing stress as the body adjusts to various stimuli. When the heart rate goes up due to external factors, the brain automatically slows it down, thus avoiding impulsive reactions.
The mind and the body have a strong connection, and it is important to be mindful of this in order to control both. There are different breathing techniques that can be utilized to alleviate fatigue and increase alertness.
The speaker talks about two tools to help calm down our nervous system - physiological size and exhale, emphasize breathing of yoga nidra. Personal experiences and ongoing studies show that inducing stress can be beneficial.
The interviewee discusses the results achieved by individuals who use the principle of the law of attraction to attract things they want in life, touching on the significance of positive thought and visualization, while also examining what scientists know about the mechanics of thinking and how it influences behavior.
Thinking incorporates sensations from past, present, and future, while perception involves the sensations we focus on in the present. There is evidence for weak magnetic sensing in some humans.
Positive thoughts can lead to dopamine release, which can help us view the world as having more possibilities and put us into forward momentum. However, negative thoughts can have the opposite effect and shape our perceptions of the world accordingly.
The release of dopamine can help us achieve our goals by attaching it to positive thinking, action, and beliefs in heading in the right direction. This creates a neurobiological system that increases the probability of successfully completing the process to achieve the end goal.
