Episode notes

Our brains struggle to distinguish between distant and imminent stress due to hyperconnectedness, resulting in a constant state of acute stress. To manage this, it is crucial to establish digital boundaries, just as we do in our personal relationships. Creating these boundaries does not mean completely disconnecting from the digital world, as that is not beneficial for overall health and well-being. Instead, it is about finding a balance and allowing our brains and bodies a moment of respite to recalibrate and return to a sense of equilibrium.

In this episode, Dr. Aditi Nerurkar, author of The Five Resets: Rewire Your Brain and Body for Less Stress and More Resilience, shares how to reframe our relationship with stress. She explains why feeling overwhelmed is a common human experience, not a personal failing. Simple, science-backed techniques like breathing, social connection, journaling, and eliminating multitasking can help our minds and bodies reset.

Dr. Nerurkar offers realistic ways to introduce ease into our days through small, sustainable steps. Learn how to "do better" so you can start to "feel better" and thrive.
