$$#;Understanding Limbic Friction: Stress, Alertness, and Neural Plasticity

Limbic friction refers to the challenge when our autonomic nervous system is not aligned with our desired state of alertness, causing stress whether we are too tired or too alert. To access neural plasticity for learning and performance, it's crucial to achieve the right state of alertness. Techniques like double inhale-exhale and widening your field of vision can help regulate arousal levels. To calm down when overly anxious, physiological sighs and panoramic vision can be beneficial. On the other hand, if feeling too tired, techniques like deep breathing and non-sleep deep rest protocols can help in increasing alertness to engage in tasks requiring focus and learning.
