A lot of people learn how to hit the accelerator and as you said, they never learn how to decompress. I think if there were one tool I'd love for people to have in their kit is this physiological side. The first practice which is based on work that goes back to the 1930s actually, it's called the physiological size. In sleep or in wakefulness, every five minutes or so, we take a big deep breath. We don't realize it but we do this. Sometimes we'll do this right before they go down to sleep. It can be done essentially anywhere.
If you find yourself struggling regularly with stress, there’s tool that you can use that will really help. It’s free, it’s easy, and the results can be instantaneous.
Feel Better Live More Bitesize is my weekly podcast for your mind, body, and heart. Each week I’ll be featuring inspirational stories and practical tips from some of my former guests.
Today’s clip is from episode 227 of the podcast with Dr. Andrew Huberman, a professor of neuroscience at Stanford University School of Medicine.
In this clip, he explains why learning to control our nervous system is so important for our health and happiness and shares a powerful tool that can immediately reduce stress and anxiety.
