Mindsip insights from this episode:
Integrate mindful rituals for continuous mindfulness
Instead of formal meditation which confines mindfulness to a short period, it's better to integrate mindful rituals throughout the day, like intentionally preparing a cup of tea.
Shift anxiety with close-up and distant focus technique
To shift from an anxious, short-term mindset to a big-picture perspective, look intensely at a close-up object like your palm for one minute, then at a faraway object for one minute.
Analyze journal entries to uncover health patterns
Reading back over your journal can reveal surprising physical health patterns, such as connecting muscle twitches to travel stress and a need for more magnesium.
Understand brain as a consciousness filter for survival
The brain may function as a filter that narrows down the vast capabilities of the mind to make it fit for purpose for survival in our material world.
Explore neuroesthetics to enhance mental health and longevity
Neuroesthetics is the science of the impact of beauty—including art, music, and nature—on our brains, mental health, and longevity.
Limit caffeine intake to improve sleep quality
The quarter-life of caffeine is 12 hours, meaning a quarter of it is still circulating in your system and potentially disturbing sleep 12 hours after you drink it.
Manage stress to prevent cortisol leakage into your environment
When you are in a stressed state, the stress hormone cortisol can leak out of your sweat and into the atmosphere, potentially stressing out those around you.
