Jewel: How To Build A Life Without Regret (And Find The Courage To Do It)

THE ED MYLETT SHOW

NOTE

How to change your Physiological and Neurological States

The speaker learned to replace shoplifting by writing, by cultivating an awareness of their physiological and neurological states. They identified the differences in their body's responses when thinking about shoplifting (excitement, intense, sharp) versus writing (relaxed, slower, softer). The speaker kept a journal of their physiological and emotional states, creating lists for relaxed/dilated and contracted/excited states, along with associated thoughts, feelings, and actions. This helped the speaker map their parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems and understand triggers for each state. They realized that the body can only be in one state at a time due to physiological and neurological reasons. The speaker also discovered that by identifying signs of a panic attack, they could intervene by forcing a physiological response, such as gratitude, to prevent the attack.
