Harvard negotiator explains how to argue | Dan Shapiro

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDj1OBG5Tpw
– I personally feel uncomfortable around conflict.
00:00:03
– Now, we’re here today to find out how to argue. – But conflict is useful.
00:00:08
The question is, how do you deal with conflict the most effectively? Here we go.
00:00:17
I am author of Negotiating the Nonnegotiable: How to Resolve Your Most Emotionally-Charged Conflicts.
00:00:25
Have you found yourself in an argument that felt so frustrating, so at a core aggravating? – That’s the silliest opinion I’ve ever heard. – It felt just nonnegotiable? Well, congratulations, you’re a human being.
00:00:39
We all experience conflict in our lives, and seeing what’s going on in our world today, my hunch is you were probably having at least one of these conflicts about politics.
00:00:50
Our country has fallen into what I believe is a tribal trap. Anything that that other side says, I shall not believe, I shall not give any credibility to, and I’m gonna do everything I can to prove I’m right, you’re wrong, and to stifle you down to raise me up.
00:01:06
The problem is not with the what, what are we arguing about, the problem is with the how.
00:01:12
– How should we argue? – How can we be more effective? And what I’ve found is that there are three big barriers that we can actually overcome to have more effective conversations.
00:01:23
The big things, one, identity, two, appreciation, and three, affiliation. Let’s start with identity.
00:01:32
– Now, first of all, this is a hot issue. – Why do we get so emotional in these conflict situations? It often goes back to something deeper: identity. What are the core values, the core beliefs that are feeling threatened inside of you as you’re having that conversation with the other side? The moment your identity gets hooked in these conflicts, all of a sudden your emotions become Boy, this is a wholly different conflict now. It’s now your pride.
00:02:01
Your sense of self is on the line.
00:02:04
You need to know who you are and what you stand for. What are the values and beliefs that are driving me to fight for this stance on this issue? The more you understand who you are, the more you can try to get your purpose met and stay balanced, even when the other threatens those core values and beliefs.
00:02:24
Each side wants to feel appreciated, and yet the last thing they wanna do is to appreciate the other side. That’s a problem.
00:02:34
– Listen and understand.
00:02:37
– When you’re in the midst of the conflict, don’t talk. Take the first 10 minutes.
00:02:43
Consciously listen to the other side.
00:02:46
What’s the value behind their perspective? What’s the logic, the rationale? Why do they hold this perspective on immigration or healthcare? Once you truly understand and see the value in their perspective, let them know I hear where you’re coming from, and you know what? That makes sense.
00:03:04
There is nothing more in the world that we like than to feel appreciated.
00:03:08
Recognize your power to appreciate them. Third, affiliation. What’s the emotional connection like between you and the other side? We typically approach these conflict situations as me versus you.
00:03:23
My opinion on healthcare versus yours, my party’s perspectives on immigration versus yours. That’s just gonna leave the two of you like rams butting heads.
00:03:34
– Find common ground. – Turn that other person from an adversary into a partner, so it’s no longer me versus you, but the two of us facing the same shared problem. Ask the other person, “Look, what’s your advice “on how we can get as many of our interests met “at the same time?” Change the nature of your conversation.
00:03:57
Now, you put these three things into practice, it can transform your relationships.
00:04:02
Imagine what would happen if we started a revolution, but a positive revolution of greater understanding, greater appreciation, greater affiliation, how we could transform politics, how we could transform our country and ultimately our world.
00:04:17
I believe it’s possible, but it starts with each one of us.

When Life Hurts, Care Less About It | The Philosophy of Marcus Aurelius

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGXRpbDuDGE
Once the most powerful man in the known world, Marcus Aurelius attempted to live virtuously, following Stoic principles.
00:00:07
Unlike many Roman Emperors, he did not indulge in the many pleasures he had access to, like getting drunk on wine and watching sadistic games in the Colosseum.
00:00:16
Marcus Aurelius wanted to fulfill the task Fortune had given him, which was serving humanity. So, he cared deeply about fulfilling his purpose.
00:00:26
But to do so, he had to care less about the things that aren’t worthy nor wise to care about.
00:00:32
And these things are many.
00:00:34
One of the essential concepts in Stoicism is the schism between things we control and do not control, which Epictetus’ Enchiridion explains so clearly. Most (if not all) things beyond our own actions are not up to us. Does that mean we should renounce the world? Not necessarily.
00:00:53
But the Stoics believed that we should be realistic about our limited influence on these things and that we create an unnecessary burden for ourselves if we aren’t. When life hurts, it often means that we care about things we have no control over, and by doing so, we let them control us and play with us like puppeteers.
00:01:12
Then, we blame the puppeteers for pulling our strings while, in actuality, we allow them to do so.
00:01:19
But if we stop caring about them, they lose power over us, and we’ll be undisturbed. For Marcus Aurelius, being unperturbed by things outside of his control allowed him to cope with the many responsibilities and challenges he faced as an emperor and to focus on the task he believed he was given by the gods. For Epictetus, it meant freedom.
00:01:41
For other people, not being moved by external forces (or a selection of them) could be a way to focus on goals that do matter.
00:01:49
And for others, it could simply be a path to a happy, carefree life. When life hurts, what are the things we should stop occupying ourselves with? And how do we do it? This video is an exploration and free interpretation of Marcus Aurelius’ philosophy on how to care less about things that aren’t worth caring about.
00:02:10
By the way, you’ll find more Stoic wisdom in this book – Stoicism for Inner Peace – which contains my collected works on remaining calm and focused in these challenging times. You’ll find a link in the description.
00:02:26
In his Meditations, Marcus Aurelius repeatedly differentiates between present, past, and future.
00:02:34
In each category, the ancient Roman Emperor has valuable things to say about how we either care too much about them, or in the wrong ways, or about the wrong things.
00:02:43
For clarity and structure, this essay is subdivided into these categories, starting with… The future As Seneca once stated: we suffer more in our imagination than in reality, implying that our thoughts are the source of our suffering.
00:02:59
When it comes to the future, our imagination often goes wild, inventing countless scenarios of what could happen (but probably never will).
00:03:07
Beforehand, we think of ways to handle possible outcomes while shivering because of the idea of ‘not knowing how the future will eventually play out.’ In some instances, what happens is what we anticipate.
00:03:19
But in many other instances, Fortune surprises us, overwhelming us with events we couldn’t have anticipated.
00:03:26
For example, we could have spent years preparing for a well-earned retirement only to receive, right before the first day of our twilight years, a deadly cancer diagnosis that gives us just a few more months to live.
00:03:39
The possibility of such events leads many to continuous worry: the best could happen, but the worst as well! And what if the Third World War breaks out? What if I lose all my money? Such adverse outcomes are very well possible.
00:03:53
But as long as they aren’t happening in the present, we cannot deal with them, as these events simply aren’t happening (at least, not yet): they only exist in our thoughts. The future only bothers us because we think about it, as it does not exist outside the mind.
00:04:11
Marcus Aurelius wrote that it’s not the weight of the future pressing upon us but that of the present alone.
00:04:17
It’s not the future that hurts us but how we deal with it in the present. The misery of the future happens in the present.
00:04:25
And ironically, it’s not the future unfolding in the present, as when we encounter it, it’s already present.
00:04:32
The misery of the future is our worrying about it now.
00:04:37
When we care too much about future events, life eventually begins to hurt as we suffer them in our imagination, letting them dictate our present.
00:04:49
So, what does Marcus Aurelius say about caring too much about the future? First, let’s consider the following quote: Never let the future disturb you.
00:04:59
You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present. End quote.
00:05:08
He pointed out that if he could cope with the present, he could also cope with the future. He told himself not to picture everything dreadful that could happen but instead stick with the situation at hand.
00:05:20
When he focused on the present, he realized he could bear it.
00:05:23
And if that’s the case, why wouldn’t he be able to handle what’s yet to come? This attitude resembles the idea of ‘Amor Fati,’ the love of fate, but then fortified with trust that we’ll be able to get through it. (2) The past Marcus Aurelius reminded himself of how fast existence passes by and disappears in the infinite beyond our grasp.
00:05:49
The past, as the future, is a realm we cannot operate in.
00:05:53
What’s gone is gone, and unless we invent the time machine, we can’t change anything about it.
00:05:59
Marcus Aurelius stated, and I quote: Remember that man lives only in the present, in this fleeting instant; all the rest of his life is either past and gone, or not yet revealed.
00:06:11
Short, therefore, is man’s life, and narrow is the corner of the earth wherein he dwells. End quote.
00:06:20
Despite the narrowness of our lives, which only occurs in the present moment, we’re often overly occupied with these areas that lie outside of it and cannot be entered: the future and the past.
00:06:32
Marcus Aurelius stated that the past “signifies as much as nothing and is at present indifferent.” It’s not that events that have happened in the past don’t influence the present or that we cannot learn from past events.
00:06:45
It’s just that we cannot work with the past, as it’s out of our reach.
00:06:50
And often, our memories of the past are scrambled, and ways to verify what exactly happened are limited.
00:06:56
We rely on recollections from personal perspectives and different viewpoints of ourselves or others. So, the past is not only out of reach; our remembrance of it is most likely inaccurate.
00:07:08
Yet, we keep caring about past events, often repeating them in our minds, re-experiencing the pain they caused us.
00:07:16
Some believe that by thinking about the past, we may have some control over it. But that’s an illusion.
00:07:22
The past is gone.
00:07:23
All we try to control are our thoughts about something that’s been flushed away, never to return.
00:07:29
“I wish I could have done this differently,” many people say. But they wish for the impossible.
00:07:35
Nothing can be gained from such thoughts, as they evoke desires we can never fulfill. Instead of focusing on the past events in themselves, Marcus Aurelius focused on his reaction toward them.
00:07:48
We cannot control past events.
00:07:50
Most likely, we also couldn’t prevent them when they occurred in the present.
00:07:54
But we can control how we position ourselves toward these events. Initially, we might consider the past unfortunate.
00:08:01
We might have had difficult childhoods or experienced the ending of friendships or failed business ventures.
00:08:07
But, according to Marcus Aurelius, the nature of these events isn’t so important; what counts is how we handle them. He stated: It’s unfortunate that this has happened. No.
00:08:19
It’s fortunate that this has happened and I’ve remained unharmed by it—not shattered by the present or frightened of the future. It could have happened to anyone.
00:08:28
But not everyone could have remained unharmed by it.
00:08:31
Why treat the one as a misfortune rather than the other as fortunate? Can you really call something a misfortune that doesn’t violate human nature? Or do you think something that’s not against nature’s will can violate it? But you know what its will is.
00:08:48
Does what’s happened keep you from acting with justice, generosity, self-control, sanity, prudence, honesty, humility, straightforwardness, and all the other qualities that allow a person’s nature to fulfill itself? End quote.
00:09:05
Interestingly enough, Marcus Aurelius doesn’t discard the value of the past entirely. He believed we could learn from the past by looking at its rhythm: how things come and go, repeating themselves, so we can “extrapolate” the future. (3) The present Marcus Aurelius frequently mentions that the present moment is all we have; it’s the narrow field we’ve access to.
00:09:31
From the present, we can stare into the endless abyss of the past and the impenetrable darkness of the future.
00:09:37
Marcus Aurelius encouraged himself to stick with what was in his control: this moment. But even when we let go of the past and minimize our worries about the future, we may still very well care too much about things not worthy of concern: the things happening as we speak. We are often dissatisfied with the ways life plays out in the moment.
00:10:01
And when things don’t go as we wish, we tend to get angry, sad, or depressed.
00:10:07
But according to Marcus Aurelius, being emotionally disturbed by what Fortune throws at us is pointless.
00:10:14
How the world around us unfolds itself is not up to us; how we react to it is. Yet, we tend to get disturbed because we don’t like what’s happening or what we want to happen doesn’t happen.
00:10:27
Marcus Aurelius stated that we shouldn’t fight what we’re compelled to.
00:10:31
He compared people who struggle with Fortune to pigs, kicking and squealing when sacrificed: it’s no use, as we can’t avoid what the gods have in store.
00:10:41
We cannot stop people from wanting to fight wars; we cannot stop natural disasters from happening; we cannot prevent our bodies from aging.
00:10:49
In the same way, we cannot force the world to grant our wishes; we’re not guaranteed that the people we’re attracted to are also attracted to us, nor assured that all human beings have the same shots at life. It’s just not possible.
00:11:04
Yet, we spend a lot of time and energy resisting what is and what we cannot change through any means in our arsenal.
00:11:11
We’re angry because we don’t have what we want and sad because we’ve occurred what we don’t like, and thus, the present moment becomes a torture chamber in which we suffer at Fortune’s every whim.
00:11:24
Or, reversely, we’re so enamored with the present moment that we cling to it.
00:11:28
We’re afraid to lose what we have, so again, we let Fortune control us.
00:11:33
But from our total entanglement in all around us, fleeting and ungovernable, we’re often unable to see what’s truly up to us: our choices, actions, and opinions. Marcus Aurelius saw the law of nature as our master; if we run from it or feel grief or anger about it, we’re nothing more than deserters and fugitives.
00:11:56
We must accept the ways of nature, embrace them, and focus on dealing with them instead of wasting our energy being disgusted by or clinging to our circumstances. A way to accept the present he wrote in the 7th book of his meditations, arguing that we should focus on what we have, not what we lack, but with caution. I quote: Treat what you don’t have as nonexistent.
00:12:20
Look at what you have, the things you value most, and think of how much you’d crave them if you didn’t have them. But be careful.
00:12:28
Don’t feel such satisfaction that you start to overvalue them —that it would upset you to lose them. End quote.
00:12:36
Nevertheless, accepting one’s circumstances can be difficult; especially when we face significant hardships and life gives us lemons repeatedly. Can’t we just have a break? But to Marcus Aurelius, adversity is not an excuse to behave like squealing, screaming pigs.
00:12:53
He argues it’s an opportunity to “practice virtue,” or in other words, to apply Stoic philosophy to one’s life.
00:13:01
The art of living isn’t about how amazing and fortunate our external circumstances are, as they’re unreliable, weak, fickle, and not our own.
00:13:10
It’s about how we face the events we meet; that’s what we should care about, according to the Stoics.
00:13:17
As Marcus Aurelius stated: Because to me the present is a chance for the exercise of rational virtue—civic virtue—in short, the art that men share with gods.
00:13:29
Both treat whatever happens as wholly natural; not novel or hard to deal with, but familiar and easily handled. Thank you for watching.

How to Think Clearly | The Philosophy of Marcus Aurelius

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HekZLSZ2mpU

00:00:08
Almost everyone thinks they are a good thinker, but in reality, few people really are. A truly great thinker is constantly growing and evolving, so take a look around you: how many people do you see moving forward in life? How many people do you see solving problem after problem? And on the contrary, how many people do you see running in circles? How many people do you see still trying to solve the same problems they were working on years ago? The better you get at thinking, the better you get at solving problems. And good thinking begins with clarity.
00:00:49
A clear thought is unambiguous, captures the essence of a thing, and is formulated logically. A clear thought can be communicated through a simple if-then statement.
00:01:02
For example, if you turn on the tap, then you can get water. A clear thought leads to clear and intentional action.
00:01:11
For example, the statement “if you turn on the tap, then you can get water” leads to clear action when you’re thirsty.
00:01:20
And clear and intentional action leads to clear feedback.
00:01:24
When you go to test the tap for water, you will immediately find out whether your original thought was true or not.
00:01:31
Either water will come out or it won’t.
00:01:34
And because clear feedback proves or disproves your thought, it helps improve your understanding of the world.
00:01:41
Either you’ll find out that your understanding of the world is correct or incorrect, and finding out you are incorrect helps you move closer towards correctness.
00:01:52
And the more correct your worldview is, the better you’ll be at solving problem. Let’s take a look at an example.
00:02:00
Marcus Aurelius earned the titles of “the last of the Five Good Emperors of Rome” and “philosopher-king” by becoming a great leader.
00:02:09
And he became a great leader by becoming a great thinker.
00:02:14
And he became a great thinker by learning to think clearly.
00:02:18
And he learned to think clearly by writing a private philosophy for himself which we now refer to as his _Meditations_.
00:02:27
In his _Meditations_, Aurelius organizes his thoughts in a logical way, reflecting on the relationship between his actions and their effects.
00:02:37
And if you want to think clearly and improve your ability to solve your own problems, it would be wise of you to do the same. Organize your thoughts.
00:02:46
Reduce their ambiguity and make them clear by turning them into simple if-then statements. Clear logic leads to clear thoughts.
00:02:56
Clear thoughts lead to clear and intentional action.
00:02:59
Clear and intentional action leads to clear feedback. Clear feedback leads to an improved understanding of the world.
00:03:06
And a clearer understanding of the world leads to a better ability to solve problems.
00:03:12
For example, let me formulate a clear, logical thought: “if I publish a how-to video with a philosopher in the title, then it will get over 100 000 views”. That’s a clear thought with clear logic.
00:03:27
That clear thought leads to clear action: I will write that video and publish it. Now when this video is published, I’ll get clear feedback.
00:03:36
We’ll both find out if that thought is true.
00:03:39
And once I find out whether that thought is true or false, my understanding of the world will improve.
00:03:46
And by improving my understanding of the world, I’ll be better equipped to solve my problem of being a successful YouTuber.
00:03:54
So in conclusion, good thinking begins with clear thinking, and clear thinking begins by turning your thoughts into unambiguous, logical statements.

Benefits of Rosemary for Brain Function

  Benefits of Rosemary for Brain Function in Hamlet, Act, 4, Scene, 5, Ophelia notes that rosemary is for remembrance, an idea that goes back at least a few thousand years to the ancient Greeks who claimed that rosemary comforts. The brain sharpens understanding, restores lost memory and awakens the mind. After all, plants can be considered little chemical factories that manufacture all sorts of compounds that could have neuroprotective benefits.   So let’s cut down on processed foods and eat lots of phytonutrient-rich whole plant foods, including perhaps a variety of herbs.   Even the smell of certain herbs may affect how our brain works.   Unfortunately, I’ve found much of the aromatherapy literature scientifically unsatisfying, like there’d, be studies like this, offering subjective impressions and so fine sure sniffing.   An herbal sachet is indeed easy, inexpensive, and safe, but is it effective? They didn’t compare tests, scores, or anything Even when there was a control group where researchers had people do a battery of tests in a room that smelled like rosemary, lavender, or nothing, and even when they did compare test results.   The lavender appeared to slow them down, and impair their performance, whereas the rosemary group seemed to do better, But maybe that’s just because of the mood effects.   Maybe the rosemary group did better just because the aroma kind of pepped them up And not necessarily in a good way, maybe kind of overstimulating.   In some circumstances, there have been studies that measured people’s brain waves and were able to correlate the EEG findings with the changes in mood and performance, along with objective changes in stress hormone levels.   But is this all just because pleasant smells improve people? S moods Like if you created some synthetic rosemary fragrance with a bunch of chemicals that had nothing to do with the rosemary plant.   Would it still have the same effect We didn’t know until now that aromatic herbs do have volatile compounds that theoretically could enter the bloodstream by way of the lining of the nose or lungs and then potentially cross into the brain and have direct effects? But this was the first study to put it to the test.   They had.   People do math in a cubicle infused with rosemary aroma, and so yes, they got that same boost in performance, but for the first time showed how much better they did correlate with the amount of a rosemary compound that made it into their bloodstream.   Just from being in the room, and so not only did this show that it gets absorbed, but that such natural aromatic plant compounds may be playing a direct effect on changes in brain function.     If that’s just what smelling it can do? What about eating rosemary? We have studies on alertness and cognition and reduced stress hormone levels, by inhaling rosemary.   However, there were no clinical studies on cognitive performance following ingestion of rosemary.   Until now, Older adults, average age 75 were given two cups of tomato juice, with either nothing or a half.   A teaspoon of powdered rosemary, which is what one might use in a typical recipe, or a full teaspoon, two teaspoons, or over a tablespoon of rosemary powder, and they even gave them some placebo pills to go with it to even further eliminate any placebo effects.   Speed of memory is a potentially useful predictor of cognitive function during aging, and what they found is that the lowest dose had a beneficial effect, accelerating their processing speed, but the highest dose impaired their processing speed, maybe because the half-teaspoon dose improved alertness, while the 4 Teaspoon dose decreased alertness, So rosemary powder at the dose nearest to normal, culinary consumption demonstrated positive effects on speed of memory.   The implicit take-home message being more isn’t necessarily better. Take high doses of herbal supplements extracts tinctures, just cooking with spices is sufficient.   A conclusion, no doubt pleasing to the spice company that sponsored the study.   No side effects were reported, but that doesn’t mean you can eat the whole bush. This poor guy swallowed a rosemary twig which punctured through the stomach into his liver, causing an abscess from which 2 cups of pus and a 2-inch twig were removed, so explore herbs and spices in your cooking Branch out.   Just leave the branches out.

Anxiety is typical for all of us.   It’s a universal emotion that we can all relate to.   For the most part.   We know that individuals are not afraid of phones.   They have phones in their office backpack purse.   What they’re typically afraid of is the evaluation or judgment that may happen when they’re on a phone.   This may be why some people prefer to text instead of talk on the phone.   The more one can put between themselves and the other person the more comfortable they generally feel interacting Four faking phone calls Have you ever pretended to be in the middle of a call just to avoid talking to someone or worn headphones to discourage others from approaching you, Although it’s safe to assume that phone calls are not something that people with social anxiety look forward to faking, a call can come in handy.     It can be a lot easier to act busy rather than face the awkwardness of an unwanted conversation.   So, this can become a habit of avoidance.

10 Signs of Hidden Anxiety

  According to the American Psychological Association People with anxiety have a future-oriented fear which leads them to avoid anything that could potentially trigger a stress response. In 2017, the National Institute of Mental Health reported that approximately forty million people worldwide suffer from anxiety disorders that are highly treatable but recent surveys show that only 36.9% of those suffering from it seek treatment This might be because most people with anxiety worry about the judgment of others and how the stigma against mental illness might negatively affect their lives. Does this sound familiar to you? Do you worry you might be suffering from anxiety and just don’t realize it? Here are ten tell-tale signs of hidden anxiety to look out for. 1. You don’t like talking to people face to face. You can easily keep a conversation going for hours when you’re texting or chatting online with a friend but talking to someone in person… No… That’s an entirely different story. Even if you already know them well or have talked to them online you still get tense and nervous talking to them in person You have trouble making eye contact or finding the words to respond and you want to end face-to-face conversations as soon as they begin to 2.   You’re always self-conscious. Do you walk into a room and immediately feel like everyone is staring at you, listening to you, and judging your every move? Or perhaps you’re overly conscious of the way you walk, the way you eat, the way you sit, the sound of your voice when you talk and so on This could be a sign that you have hidden anxiety 3. You’re easily upset or irritated. Has anyone ever told you you’re too sensitive? Do you find your feelings getting hurt easily? Are you quick to get angry or upset with others over the littlest things? This kind of emotional volatility may be a sign that you have high-functioning anxiety. As anxiety can often make us easily overwhelmed and emotionally imbalanced, frequent mood swings, temper tantrums, and irritability can be expected when you’re overly anxious four.   You’re panicky and easily startled. Anxiety makes you want to be as in control and vigilant as possible. An unexpected phone call, a random knock on the door, an email with no subject, or a forgotten task you can easily finish. Anything is enough to send you reeling with panic. You go into a tailspin whenever something catches you off-guard and you find it hard to relax even when the smallest things don’t go exactly as planned. 5. You’re indecisive. Do you have trouble making even the simplest of choices? Are you afraid of making up your mind about something because you’re so sure that whatever decision you make is going to be the wrong one? Oftentimes, anxiety can manifest as perfectionist tendencies, fear of failure, or distrust in oneself. If you can’t make your own choices without thinking about it for hours and hours first or consulting with all your friends and family, you might be harboring some hidden anxiety.   6. You overthink past conversations. You have a tendency to get hung up on past conversations no matter how much time has passed since then. You analyze the other person’s body language, facial expressions, choices of words, and even the tone of their voice. You can’t help but think about what you should have done or said instead, and it drives you crazy and keeps you on edge every time you remember it seven. You’re always making yourself busy It’s common for people with anxiety to have a strong need to keep themselves busy They’d like to occupy themselves with simple tasks and do as many things as possible in a day because sitting still and doing nothing for a long time can make them feel restless and on edge 8. You talk yourself down all the time.     Life isn’t always kind to us, and self-love and a balanced lifestyle don’t come easily. Living with anxiety, especially if it’s hidden or suppressed, can make it hard for us to feel good about ourselves and let ourselves feel happy. It makes us believe that we don’t deserve it and traps us in a vicious cycle of negative self-talk and constant pressure to be perfect. 9. You have a lot of negative thoughts. Are you a pessimist who is quick to find the downsides in every situation? Do you find yourself getting upset or stressed out over even the most minor inconveniences? Is every day a constant battle with yourself against the spiral of panicked and rational thoughts you have? In 1997, famed psychologist and cognitive therapist, Aaron Beck, termed this kind of thought pattern as catastrophic thinking, which he often observed in his patients who suffered from anxiety. And 10. You experience physical symptoms. Sometimes anxiety can be entirely physical because while your conscious mind may not always be aware of your anxiety it will definitely make itself known to your body.   Things like erratic heartbeats, chest palpitations, muscle tension, a clenched jaw, shaky hands up sweating are all indicative of anxiety. Your body may be trying to let your mind know that you’re feeling anxious and stop it before it gets any worse. Do you relate to any of the problems listed here? Or do you do your best to seem ok? And hide your symptoms because you feel embarrassed about your anxiety? The truth is: you’re not alone and having mental health issues is nothing to be ashamed of.   What do you plan to do next?

Yoga Put to the Test for Headaches, Diabetes, Osteoarthritis, and the Elderly

  “Yoga Put to the Test for Headaches, Diabetes, Osteoarthritis, and the Elderly” Yoga is an ancient mind-body discipline which originated in India thousands of years ago, and that’s where most yoga studies are done to this day. This has raised concerns that national pride might incline Indian researchers to quietly shelve any negative results and just publish studies showing yoga works. This fear is not without precedent. For example, research conducted in China, Japan, Hong Kong, and Taiwan were found to be uniformly favorable to acupuncture; all trials, without exception, were positive.   Now, one possible explanation for this finding is that acupuncture is just more effective in countries where it is traditionally practiced, but it’s a little suspicious. So, are Indian yoga trials more likely to be positive than those from other countries? They looked at hundreds of Randomized controlled trials of yoga, both done in India and done in other countries, and trials on yoga conducted in India had about twenty-five times the odds of reaching positive conclusions as those conducted elsewhere. Again, yes, yoga might be more effective in India than elsewhere, but it is a little suspicious. So, for example, if you’re interested in whether yoga is helpful for treating headaches, and you read that yoga appears to be helpful For those suffering from tension-type headaches, but then you find out that nearly all such studies were conducted in India, what do you do with that information? Also, notably, none of the control groups had any sort of exercise component, though this may be less critical for tension headaches, since neither aerobic exercise training…   Nor does strength training appear to help them. So, if we’re to believe the Indian study conclusions, yoga may indeed help with tension headaches, but even they found no effect for migraines. What may help migraines, though, are other types of exercise, specifically aerobic exercise, decreasing migraine pain intensity, frequency, and duration, at least in the short term. What about the benefits of yoga practice compared to physical exercise in the management of type 2 diabetes? A significant reduction in both short-term and longer-term blood sugar control was noted in the yoga groups compared to other exercise control groups.   However, the findings may need to be interpreted with caution, since nearly half of the studies didn’t define and adhere to a well-planned exercise regimen in the control group. Furthermore, an exercise intervention comparable in intensity to yoga was followed only in three out of the eight studies included. And, for what it’s worth, The majority of the studies, six out of eight, were from India. When yoga was carefully compared to sham yoga, which consisted of chair exercises, standing exercises, and slow walking to match the yoga session, the relative yoga benefits evaporated.   Both yoga and sham yoga had identical effects on blood sugar status. Hence, further well-controlled Randomized trials are required prior to drawing conclusions about the benefits of yoga in comparison to physical exercise in patients with diabetes. Similar tentative conclusions were reached for yoga for osteoarthritis. Put all the studies together and yoga may indeed be effective for improving pain, function, and stiffness in individuals with osteoarthritis of the knee, compared not only to doing nothing but compared to other kinds of exercise. They had some issues with the quality of some of the studies, and so only a weak recommendation for the use of yoga for osteoarthritis, but hey, if you like yoga or if yoga is the only kind of exercise you’re willing to do, then It’s probably better than nothing. Finally, in this video, Let’s look at the effects of yoga compared to active and inactive controls meaning like compared to other exercise regimens or just like doing nothing on physical function and health-related quality of life in adults aged 60 and older. Compared to doing nothing, They found clear evidence that yoga improves physical function and psychological well-being in older adults, so it definitely better than nothing.   What about compared to other exercises? Yoga pulled ahead for lower limb strength and lower body flexibility, but for improving balance, mobility, and walking speed, yoga appeared comparable. Psychologically, yoga appeared to beat out other exercises for alleviating depression in older adults, but not anxiety or perceived mental health in general.
