Mindsip insights from this episode:
Understand habits beyond willpower in neuroscience
From a neuroscience standpoint, willpower is not a variable in the equations that govern forming or changing a habit.
Practice five-finger breathing technique to calm your mind
The five-finger breathing technique calms your physiology by occupying your working memory with multiple points of attention, which clears the 'cache' of worry thoughts.
Leverage curiosity as a superpower for effortless attention
You can make the difficult task of paying attention feel natural and not hard by leveraging curiosity, which is a superpower for behavior change.
Focus on results, not triggers, in habit formation
Contrary to popular belief, triggers are the least important part of the habit loop because they don't reinforce the behavior; the result of the behavior does.
Debunk the 21-day habit myth for lasting change
The popular idea that it takes 21 days to form a habit originated from a 1960s plastic surgeon observing how long it took patients to get used to their new nose jobs.
Feel your way into new habits for lasting change
You cannot think your way out of a bad habit; you must feel your way into a new way of being because the 'feeling body' is much stronger than the 'thinking brain'.
Recognize your brain's pre-decision activity to understand choices
The famous Libet experiment showed the motor cortex prepares to act a full half-second before a person is consciously aware of the decision, suggesting we often tell a story about our choices afterward.
Beware muscle loss from Ozempic and similar weight-loss drugs
A significant, under-discussed side effect of weight-loss drugs like Ozempic is that people are losing muscle mass, which is not ideal for health.
