Mindsip insights from this episode:
Neutralize emotional stress to curb sugar cravings
Emotional stress generated from reactive interactions with others often needs to be neutralized, leading to unhealthy behaviors like consuming sugar or alcohol.
Strengthen feet by wearing Vivobarefoot shoes for four months
A trial showed that within four months of wearing Vivobarefoot shoes, your feet can become around 60% stronger.
Develop self-awareness through journaling
Research suggests that only 10 to 15 percent of us have a high degree of self-awareness, but journaling can help develop this skill.
Prioritize kindness for better health and happiness
One study suggested that practicing kindness may have a more positive effect on our health and happiness than diet and exercise.
Focus on one true priority for effective decision-making
When the word 'priority' entered the English language in the 1500s, it only existed as a singular word, as you can only truly have one priority.
Start your day with positive content to boost emotions
A lot of your emotions are downstream of the content you consume, so starting the day with negative news primes your brain for negativity.
