Deep dives
The Importance of Hobbies for Stress Relief
Engaging in hobbies after work or at the end of the day can help alleviate stress and provide a sense of relaxation and fulfillment.
Exploring Blind Spots in Manifestation
Blind spots can hinder manifestation progress, and having an accountability buddy can help identify and overcome these challenges.
Understanding the Brain's Response to Stress and Self-Interruption
Stress and self-interruption are influenced by neurotransmitters like dopamine and norepinephrine. Acute stress can be beneficial when regulated properly, and methods like meditation and reframing stress can help with regulation.
Regulating emotional triggers and responses
One key insight from this podcast episode is the importance of regulating our emotional triggers and responses. The speaker discusses how we can weaken the association and reaction to triggers over time. By creating space between the trigger and our response, we can observe and choose a more measured reaction. The podcast also emphasizes the significance of recognizing and understanding how we have learned certain triggers and responses, often through observation of others. The speaker highlights the value of teaching children to take a pause, allowing them to think before responding and strengthening their ability to regulate emotions.
Repetition and positive association for neural rewiring
Another main idea explored in the podcast is the concept of neural rewiring by using repetition and positive association. The speaker explains that if we want to strengthen positive beliefs or reinforce positive behaviors, repeating them and associating them with positive or neutral responses is key. By giving ourselves time and space to regulate and reason with our thoughts, we can gradually change our neural pathways. This approach emphasizes the importance of consistency and long-term commitment to creating positive change. It also touches on the relevance of breaking the cycle of self-judgment and replacing it with self-reflection and understanding.
Look, it’s not you. It’s your brain. Seriously! Breaking a low self-worth habit isn’t as easy as deciding to stop. Because behind the scenes of everyday life, your brain and its symphony of neurons are actually running the show. So what would happen if you decided to work with your brain instead of against it? That’s what today’s episode is all about with Nicole Vignola, or as many might know her – @nicolesneuroscience on IG. Today, she and Jessica nerd out on the neuroscience of some pretty juicy (and highly requested) topics – burnout, building a routine, procrastinating the TBM work, how overcoming adversity is good for your brain, and so. much. more. Learn the simple magic of a big, long *sigh*, how to recover from doom scrolling, and why you should embrace boredom (your brain likes it). This is the magic-meets-science conversation that is basically every TBMer’s dream convo. Get ready for actionable, easy wisdom that actually changes your day.
