Mindsip insights from this episode:
Manage micro-stress doses to preserve resilience
Seemingly minor daily stressors, or "micro-stress doses" like hitting the snooze button, accumulate and push you over your personal stress threshold, leading to overreactions and burnout.
Manage stress to improve digestion and food reactions
You may not be reacting to the food you're eating but rather to the stressed-out state you are in while eating it, as stress shuts down proper digestion.
Address stress to prevent disease and improve health
Up to 90% of all conditions a primary care doctor sees are in some way related to stress, which causes long-term problems like high blood sugar, high blood pressure, and anxiety.
Reignite passions to combat depression
Many symptoms that look like depression are not caused by a chemical imbalance but by a "passion deficiency," which can be treated by re-engaging with hobbies you once loved.
Identify core values to align daily actions with meaning
To live a life of meaning, you must first identify your three core values and then regularly review if your daily actions are in alignment with them.
Practice the 3-4-5 breath for instant calm
A simple yet powerful way to immediately calm your nervous system is the "three-four-five breath," where you breathe in for three seconds, hold for four, and breathe out for five.
Relaxed eating habits may explain French paradox
The French paradox may be explained not by what they eat, but by how they eat—in a relaxed, de-stressed state that allows their bodies to process food differently.
