[Music] we have three types of stress that we  process in the physical body we have physical   stress that’s like trauma accidents injuries  Falls and then you have chemical stress like   toxins or pesticides or pollutants or viruses or  bacteria or hangovers or nutritional deficiencies  
00:00:27
and then you have emotional stress right and  emotional stress could be family tragedies   car accidents second mortgages single parenting  401ks you know whatever that is but each one of   those things physical chemical or emotional knock  the body out of homeostasis out of Regulation out  
00:00:46
of balance the innate capacity of the body when  it’s not overstressed is that it wants to always   return back and regulate it wants to return back  to homeostasis it wants to return back to order   and that’s inate in us that’s an automatic  process that’s running through the autonomic  
00:01:03
nervous system so we could say the job of the  autonomic nervous system is to create balance   and Regulation and homeostasis and it’s automatic  and that part of the brain sits under the thinking   neocortex and it’s called the chemical brain  or the emotional brain or the lyic brain or the  
00:01:18
mamelon brain and it has all of those functions  that make blood sugar balanced hormone levels   digestive enzymes it’s it’s it’s it’s doing  what it can to take the body and constantly   repair it and regenerate it and move it back into  balance all of those stressors knock the brain and  
00:01:36
body out of balance and the innate mechanism the  stress response brings it back to balance well it   just makes sense if you keep knocking it out of  balance over and over again and you keep moving   it out of homeostasis that imbalance is going to  become the new balance and now you’re headed for  
00:01:52
disease because that autonomic automatic system  can’t regulate order in the body so a system then   is compromised the system breaks down and so if  it’s physical trauma you know your body can heal   if you rest it if it’s chemical imbalance you  take your uh Pharmaceuticals or you take your  
00:02:12
nutriceuticals your vitamins your minerals your  herbs you intermittent fast you do anything you   can to get the body back so that it’s using more  energy for growth and repair but the big factor   is emotional stress 75 to 90% of every person  that walks into a Healthcare facility in the  
00:02:31
Western World walks in because of psychological  or emotional stress pretty much four out of   five people what’s really causing their health  condition is that they’re emotionally stressed   and emotionally out of balance okay so what are  the emotions that are connected to the stress  
00:02:47
hormones it’s anger it’s hatred it’s frustration  it’s competition it’s control it’s judgment it’s   Envy it’s jealousy it’s insecurity it’s fear it’s  anxiety it’s worry it’s angst it’s uh hopelessness   it’s powerlessness it’s guilt it shame its  unworthiness you know and psychology calls these  
00:03:08
normal human States Of Consciousness these are  Altered States Of Consciousness so our response   to someone or something in in our environment or  our response to our own thought an image of what   could happen in the future a memory of the past  could actually cause chemicals to be secreted  
00:03:26
from the brain that causes the body to actually  believe it’s living in that same environment of   fear or danger right so that thought when you’re  seeing that thought in your mind or remembering   that image it’s the image and the emotion it’s  the thought and the feeling it’s the stimulus and  
00:03:45
response that’s immediately conditioning the body  into that state of imbalance so it’s a scientific   fact that the long-term effects of the hormones of  stress push the genetic buttons and create disease   if you can turn on that stress response just by  thought alone your thoughts are literally going  
00:04:01
to make you sick that’s the greatest example of  the Mind Body Connection so the next fundamental   question is okay if our thoughts could make us  sick is it possible that my thoughts could make   me well well if that’s the case then then I’m  going to have to manage my attention and I’m  
00:04:17
going to have to manage my energy because where I  place my attention is where I place my energy and   I’m going to have to inhibit that thought that has  conditioned the body to subconsciously be the mind   and the body is so objective that it does not know  the difference between the real life experience  
00:04:35
that’s creating that emotion and the emotion that  person is fabricating by thought alone to the body   it’s exactly the same so the body’s believing  it’s being chased by a predator the body is   believing it’s in an offensive situation where it  has to attack the body’s believing it’s constantly  
00:04:50
needing to be ready and it’s it’s constantly out  of homeostasis is constantly out of balance it’s   in emergency it’s in fight ORF flight it’s a  different system the autonomic nervous system   where you’re stepping on the gas where you’re  you’re mobilizing enormous amounts of energy  
00:05:04
for some threat some Danger real or imagined  but that thought and that feeling the image the   emotion the stimulus response is conditioning the  body to automatically be the mind of that emotion   now the body becomes conditioned and addicted  now this gets to be a problem because people  
00:05:20
get addicted to their own thoughts and they become  addicted to the life they don’t even like because   the response to the coworker to the boss to the  ex is actually giving them Rush of energy A Rush   of agine and they’re they’re associating that Rush  of energy with some problem or condition in their  
00:05:35
life and now come time to change and manage  your attention and manage your emotion it’s   no different than Breaking addiction to anything  there’s Cravings the body wants to return back to   how it’s been conditioned into the familiar past  into the gnome the body starts saying to the mind  
00:05:53
you can it’s too hard you’ll never change this  is too uncomfortable I don’t like this go back   to make the same Choice do the same thing create  the same experience feel the same emotion so you   can return back to the known and that’s how people  seamlessly return back to that same identity so we  
00:06:09
only accept believe and surrender to the thoughts  that are equal to our emotional state we’ll never   accept believe and surrender any thoughts that are  not equal to your emotional state so you could say   I’m abundant I’m Eternal I’ll live forever I’m  healthy and wealthy and if you’re programmed your  
00:06:26
body into that emotional state it’s going to say  you you’re not that take a person whose identity   is resentment and their identity is anger and and  frustration and betrayal and you ask them why are   you this way and they’ll say I’m this way because  of this event that happened to me 15 years ago  
00:06:44
strong are the emotion we feel from some event the  more altered we feel inside of us the more that   chemical continuity is disrupted from something  that surprises us that alters our state the more   the brain freezes a frame and takes a snapshot  that’s called a memory but the problem is that we  
00:06:58
think about that event over and over again after  it happens we’re producing the same chemistry in   the brain and body as if the event was occurring  and so the body is conditioned literally into   the past so you say a person’s resentful about  everything they’re seeing their life through the  
00:07:15
lens of resentment and frustration and anger  and everything’s upsetting them well that’s a   self-fulfilling prophecy you say okay now it’s an  addiction you got to change that and the person   goes oh okay that makes sense and now now you got  to get out of the bleachers on the playing field  
00:07:29
say okay these emotions could literally have  something to do with my health just saying if   I stop feeling these emotions what if I start  feeling these emotions okay what would be the   emotions that would make me happy these emotions  are making me feel really bad the memories are  
00:07:47
making me feel really bad can I remember a  future how would I feel if my future could   happen I got to trade those emotions for different  emotions well if I’ve been practicing feeling   these emotions and I’ve conditioned my body be the  mind it’s going to take some time for me to start  
00:08:03
making different chemistry with the intention of  making that chemistry getting my body back into   homeostasis and balance work on my breath when I  breathe I change my state practice breathing work   with your body so it can start to relax so that  it feels safe enough to feel something other than  
00:08:21
that again and if it takes you 3 weeks it would be  worth it so then person then starts okay I really   know how to feel gratitude okay well maybe start  going out and giving and give to people I promise   you start giving you start feeling grateful and  then start practicing feeling gratitude teach  
00:08:40
your body just for 15 minutes a day what it would  like to feel gratitude what would be like and our   data shows that you take someone to do that  for four days three times a day they make a   immunoglobulin called immunoglobulin a it’s your  body’s natural flu shot it’s the greatest immune  
00:08:59
chemical we have 50% increase in the subjects we  studied in 4 days immunoglobulin went up 50% in 4   days where is that chemistry coming from they’re  not taking anything it’s coming from within them   right what is the emotional signature of gratitude  when you receive something or you just receive  
00:09:18
something when something wonderful happened to  you or something wonderful is happening to you   you feel grateful so now if you’re in a state  of gratitude it makes total sense then you will   accept believe and surrender the thoughts that  are equal to that emotional state and you could  
00:09:32
actually program your autonomic nervous system  to make the pharmacy of chemicals that causes   growth and repair to happen in the body and that’s  exactly what we’re discovering so then when people   understand why they’re doing it the how gets  easier so you can assign meaning to the task  
00:09:47
and switch on the prefrontal cortex and when you  switch on that prefrontal cortex it wants to get   an outcome it doesn’t want to mess around it wants  the outcome you’re doing it for the outcome and   that’s kind of a strong intention and a change in  energy or an emotional state and that’s changing  
00:10:03
your state of being and when you change your state  of being like that every day get ready because   you’re going to start having synchronicities and  coincidences and weird things start happening in   your life to prove to you that you’re actually the  creator of your life instead of the victim of your

[Music] How’s your relationship with anxiety? Does it drive you crazy? Does it get in the way of living your life? Do you get stuck worrying and feeling sick to your stomach or sweaty? When you get all codependent with anxiety, it can really mess up your life. Have you ever had an uncle or a coworker, the type who tried to convince you that the world was flat or something? Maybe your relationship with anxiety is a bit like that. Oh, hey, hey. Oh. [Music] Hey. How you doing? Did you know there’s going to be a massive cheese shortage, and it’s gonna send the markets into a Great Depression. Now is a great time to invest in cheese stocks.
00:00:48
No there’s not. Oh, no, yeah. Yeah, this is a conspiracy from the cheese barons, but first they’ve gotta increase market share by taking out the potato farmers so they can destroy Coca-Cola. Like, where did you hear that? Like, where where are you getting your information? But first they have to take out the potato farmers with cheese-scented laser beams. And if you try to debate him with facts, he only gets more persistent. Okay. Are you serious? Cheese-scented laser beams? Have you ever seen one? I’ve got a friend who works in the silos in Idaho, and his brother’s the governor and says that they’re putting mind-altering drugs in the water. No, listen, listen. I’m sure that if they were putting mind-altering drugs in our water it would show up in the wastewater studies. Like, I know someone who works with the DWR. Look, I – you have been a little bit brainwashed. Come here, come here. Give me a hug. Only with anxiety, it sounds a little bit more like: Oh, hey, hey. How’s it going? Oh, hi, anxiety. Didn’t expect to see you here. Well, I guess I shouldn’t be that surprised. Hey, um, did you know everyone’s looking at you? They’re all looking at you. They’re they’re all wondering why you’re here. Like, where did you hear that? Like – Yeah, I mean, I I heard, I heard Megan and Bob talking about you over there. They’re they’re probably just looking at me because I dyed my hair, and it looks great. Oh, I’m glad you like your hair. I mean, uh, yeah, I mean I guess it’s – I better not say what other people might be thinking. Okay, they probably think it sucks. Sarah invited me here. Why why would she invite me if she didn’t want me to be here? Maybe she was just trying to be nice.
00:02:47
Like, she didn’t actually want you to come. Yeah, well, maybe everyone’s staring at me because I’m arguing with myself. Now, maybe your uncle – or in this case, your anxiety – makes you so uncomfortable that you just stop going places. You stop going to parties, you stop seeing the people you love because you just don’t want to be around him (your uncle) or it (the anxious voice in your head). Maybe you’ve created a life where you avoid anxiety, but you’ve had to cut out a bunch of things because of that. Now, in this course I’m not gonna promise you that your anxiety will go away or that you’ll magically never feel fear or worry again, but in 30 days you can learn to transform your relationship with anxiety. Now, anxiety itself is not a disorder. It’s what we do with anxiety that determines the quality of our life. When we believe the lies that anxiety tells us, when we let it make choices for us, when we let fear run the show, an anxiety disorder can make us miserable. And when we struggle against it, when we try to like force the anxiety to go away, it often gets louder. So like a relationship with that overbearing family member, I’m going to teach you the skills to set boundaries on your anxiety – like texting before dropping by. Oh, wait, that’s for family. You’ll learn things like knowing what to say to anxiety, how to spend less time with it, and how to not let it bother you so much. And as you build this healthy relationship with anxiety, you might even find that occasionally it has something good to say. Not often, but occasionally it helps you just a little because anxiety serves a function. And learning how to relate to anxiety can give you back your life. In this course you’ll learn how to transform your relationship with anxiety. You’ll learn how to drop the struggle with anxiety and set boundaries on your worries so that you can decrease your worry by 75% or more. You’ll learn how to stop overthinking and get back to enjoying yourself. You’ll learn how to handle that inner critic so that you can maintain your sense of self and you can let go of doubt and work through fears. So just like with that difficult family member, you can learn the skills to show your anxiety compassion, to listen to what it has to say but not believe everything it says, and to live your own life the way you choose – a life that you value that is rich and meaningful. [Music] Oh, hey, hey, you’re probably ruining your children.
00:05:25
Oh, oh, hi there, worry. Um I don’t have time to talk about this with you right now, but I do have five minutes later. Uh let’s talk at five, okay? [Music] This just in. Breaking news. Um everything is awful, and it is going to be awful forever, and it’s probably actually going to get worse, regardless of all the advances in science, medicine, technology . . . Okay. Well, you can say what you want, but I don’t have to believe you. It’s just terrible. [Music] Oh my goodness, oh my goodness, darling, don’t jump off that diving board. You could fall. Basically, you’re gonna learn how to be the Mahatma Gandhi of worry management: peacefully holding your truth, standing up to lies and oppression, and gaining independence from the trap of anxiety. In this course you’ll learn 30 skills to have an entire toolbox of options for managing anxiety. And when you practice them, you can learn to take your life back. So here’s how the course works: I’ll be publishing all 31 main videos to YouTube, but you can watch the entire series with the extra skills, ad-free, with a workbook, with bonus resources and access to Q and A’s with me on my website. I’m publishing one video per week to YouTube, but I’ll publish the videos to the online course as soon as they’re ready. The first section is all about changing your mindset around anxiety, changing how you think about anxiety, learning how it works, what you’re doing that feeds it, and how to drop the struggle with anxiety. Section 2 teaches you about the thinking patterns that you’re doing that make anxiety stronger and louder and, of course, how to adjust how you think, to set boundaries on anxiety, and drastically decrease it. And then in Section 3 you’ll learn how your nervous system’s response creates this feedback loop that either calms anxiety or exacerbates it. You’ll learn how to lean into your sensations, to lean into the wisdom of your body, and turn on its natural ability to soothe itself. And then in the last segment of the course, you’ll learn how to take back the confident and meaningful life that you really care about. You’ll learn how to get back to doing the things that you care about and bring back the joy and purpose that you used to have in life. So this section is all about moving in your valued direction. Now, this course isn’t just academic; with each lesson there are actionable skills and practical exercises to retrain your nervous system to be more resilient and centered. It’s like lifting weights for your calmness muscle. And like I said before, the course comes with a workbook, bonus lessons, Q and A’s, and lots of body-calming skills and resources to help you feel confident to know what to do when anxiety does pop up and how to set boundaries on it so that it doesn’t impact your life anymore. Everyone feels some anxiety, but you don’t have to let it run the show.
00:08:27
You can really learn the skills to change anxiety. So here’s your first somatic skill: let’s start by having you curl up. Put your head down, shrink yourself down into like a hunchy little ball like this. Okay. And then say, “I can do this. Okay. I can do this. I can do this.” Notice how that feels. Your body is sending the message to your brain that you’re actually not capable. Now, put your shoulders back, chest out, chin up, and just say, “I can learn new skills. I can learn new things.” Your body is sending you the message that you are competent, you’re capable to learn the skills to manage and work with your anxiety. Now, I know you can do this. Let’s go.

Welcome back to the Quick Brain Podcast. I am your host and your brain coach Jim Quick. Today we’re diving into Japanese Zen Secrets, as we explore seven gentle yet powerful techniques that have the potential to transform the way you approach productivity and life. Each technique carries with it a unique philosophy, a cultural way of life. The wisdom that has stood the test of time. First up is the concept of Kaizen, which stands for small improvements and how they have a big impact. Remember, little by little, a little becomes a whole lot. Imagine a life where progress isn’t measured in leaps and bounds, but in tiny, consistent steps. Kaizen at its core encourages us to focus on small improvements every day. It’s becoming 1% just 1% better each day rather than aiming for perfection right from the start. Remember, 1% compounded over the course of a year, 1.01 times 1.01 times 365 times equals a 37 multiple. Your 37 times better just improving 1% at anything over the course of one year. By setting small achievable goals and embracing small gains and celebrating those, we paved the way for lasting success and we train ourselves in becoming more productive. Number 2. The next technique is something we have already discussed before on our podcast. It’s called Shinrin Yoku, Shinrin Yoku. Otherwise known as Nature’s Healing Touch. Doesn’t sound really great. The Japanese words Shinrin means forest. Yoku means bath. And they come together to create an experience where we spend time outdoors surrounded by the healing embrace of nature. It’s not just a walk in the woods. It’s a profound connection with the environment that can rejuvenate the mind, body, and spirit by reducing our stress and anxiety levels. And who doesn’t want more of that? Number 3. Moving forward, we will explore the familiar term Ikigai, also known as the Japanese way of discovering your reason for being. That sounds pretty profound, but this concept holds the key to our reason for being. Ikigai is the driving force that gets us out of bed each morning. The four rules of Ikigai provide a roadmap. Do what you love, do what you’re good at, do what the world needs, and do what you could be paid for. Passion is the intersection of what you love and what you are good at. Mission is the intersection of what you love and what the world needs. Profession is the intersection of what you are good at and what you can be paid for. Vocation is the intersection of what you could be paid for and what the world needs. Bringing these four points together will help you discover your Ikigai and set you on your personal growth and discovery journey.
00:04:31
You You You You You You You The fourth technique is Wabisabi. Wabisabi known as finding beauty and imperfections The philosophy of Wabi Sabi is where imperfection is celebrated. Instead of chasing perfection, Wabi Sabi encourages us to find beauty in the flawed and imperfect aspects of life. It’s the cracked ceramic filled with gold, symbolizing the magnificence found in life’s imperfections. In practice, you don’t need to wait for the perfect timing, just start. Many of us hold ourselves back because of where we came from and then obstacles we have already faced and will likely face in the future. When in reality, it’s our imperfections that will make you stand out and it will fuel your brilliance. The fifth technique is Shoshin. Shoshin, meaning embracing the beginner’s mindset. Remember, your mind is like a parachute, it only works when it’s open. Shoshin is a concept rooted in Zen Buddhism, calls to the approach that life with a beginner’s mindset. In the words of Shun Rin Suzuki, in the beginner’s mind, there are many possibilities, but in the expert’s mind, there are few. It’s about keeping our minds open, empty and very receptive to the endless possibilities that surround us so that creativity can flow. Being a continuous student and allowing yourself to learn with an open mind will set you ahead of the crowd. Second to last is the practical wisdom of Harahatchibu, teaching us to stop eating when we’re 80% full. By avoiding the excesses of indulgence, we aim for satisfaction without the lethargy that comes from over -consumption. It’s a mindful approach to nourishing our bodies and our brains and avoiding the pitfalls of feeling lazy or sluggish. The quick brain community already knows that maintaining a good diet is a huge factor when it comes to our physical and our mental health. The seventh and final technique is Ganbaru, the spirit of doing your best. This is a concept urging us to do our best and persevere through tough times. It’s about patience, tenacity and a commitment to excellence. In the face of challenges, Ganbaru empowers us to keep going, unlocking our full potential with unwavering perseverance. Consistency is the key to achieving your goals. Our journey today has been a reminder in the pursuit of a fulfilling life. It’s often the small, intentional steps that lead to the most profound transformations. I challenge you, embrace the wisdom that resonates with you and let it be your compass as you navigate the complexities of life.

Do you find yourself feeling stressed out when you’re studying for an important exam Or when you’re practicing repeatedly in front of a mirror before a presentation? It’s perfectly normal to feel stressed out or anxious every now and then Unfortunately for some of us our anxiety can get so out of hand that we feel this way constantly That chronic feeling of anxiousness and fear is the marking of an anxiety disorder Before we begin we’d like to make a short disclaimer Please don’t use this video to self-diagnose! If you can relate to most of the signs, we do advise you to go to a qualified medical health professional for proper diagnosis With that being said, Psych2Go presents to you the Seven Types of Anxiety Disorders One) Generalized anxiety disorder also known as GAD It’s the most common among anxiety disorders to be diagnosed People with GAD suffer from intense and persistent worry a GAD sufferer can worry or feel anxious about a number of events Ranging from school or work to their family life at home This anxiety is associated with at least three of these symptoms: Restlessness, Fatigue, Difficulty Concentrating, Irritability, Muscle Tension, Insomnia, or Difficulty Falling Asleep People with GAD, often can’t explain their anxiety using specific fears like those with more specific anxiety disorders can And this is because their anxiety stems from various stimuli Those who suffer from GAD can find relief in a number of treatment options Ranging from mindfulness meditation and brisk exercise to cognitive-behavioural therapies and medications.
00:01:46
Two) Separation Anxiety Disorder This type of anxiety is more common in children than adults.
00:01:52
For many, the mere thought of separation causes a high amount of stress People with separation anxiety worry that something unexpected could separate them from their attachment figure Or that their attachment figure will abandon them This anxiety presents as nightmares of being alone and a persistent refusal to leave their attachment figure Kids with separation anxiety may be clingy and insist on sleeping with their parents at night Children often grow out of separation anxiety disorder, but if it persists for six months or longer, they should be provided help Adult sufferers may also find benefit from the available therapies Three) Social Anxiety Disorder, Social Phobia and Selective mutism Social anxiety disorder also known as “S.A.D.” refers to the fear of public situations and exposure to unfamiliar people S.A.D. sufferers tend to avoid situations in which they’re in the spotlight because they’re worried that they’ll be embarrassed or judged by others The thought or the anticipation alone of an upcoming social situation can cause major anxiety-related symptoms like panic attacks or severe stomach pain People with S.A.D. may show signs of stress in these forms: Little to no eye contact, Freezing in place, Running off, or Avoiding tasks like eating in public Children and adults alike can suffer from S.A.D.
00:03:13
But some children with social anxiety may also have a more intense and ability to function in social situations Selective mutism is a type of social anxiety in which a child is unable to speak in social situations Despite being able to speak normally otherwise Often times, this problem arises at school or in the presence of strangers If a child with selective mutism is able to communicate at all. They might only be able to nod or whisper Four) Panic disorder It becomes a disorder when an individual experiences panic attacks multiple times in their lifetime Panic attacks are intense bursts of fear followed by a range of physical symptoms, these include at least four of the following: Cold sweats, Muscle stiffness or Trembling, Hyperventilation, which is fast, shallow breathing Lightheadedness, Numbness or the Fear of death and/or Insanity The fear afterward of another panic attack. Sometimes actually provokes more panic attacks More often than not, panic attacks are had in combination with other anxiety disorders Therapy along with medications can help in handling panic disorder Five) Agoraphobia Does your local train station seem intimidating? You feel faint in a crowded place? Agoraphobia is the fear of public places Anxiety arises because they deem them as too open or dangerous It’s triggered by fears like becoming a victim of crime or of contracting a disease or illness Its sufferers coop themselves up in their homes where they’re comfortable and familiar with their environment Agoraphobe often become over-dependent on other people to compensate for their inability to cope in public Agoraphobia can develop at any age and can be extremely debilitating Exposure therapy works effectively against Agoraphobia in conjunction with medication Six) Specific Phobia These are persistent and extreme fears about a specific object or situation and cause a ton of stress to the sufferer Phobias can be environmental like Acrophobia, the fear of heights and they can be animal-based Or even situational like Taphophobia, the fear of being buried alive Such phobias often arise due to traumatic experiences that cause people to make negative associations with these objects or situations Someone who was clawed in the face by a cat in their childhood might have an avid fear of cats in their adulthood In cases where exposure therapy may not be safe or applicable Cognitive behavioural therapy can be effective in changing a person’s negative association to their feared object or situation Seven) Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder OCD and Post-Traumatic StressDisorder PTSD Yes, OCD and PTSD were categorized by many psychiatrists as disorders to be grouped with the aforementioned anxiety disorders Recently there have been new findings about these disorders that team them both unique enough to be in categories of their own However, this is not to suggest that OCD and PTSD are any less important to deal with The common thread that group disorders like GAD, S.A.D., panic disorder and phobias together Is that sufferers of these anxiety disorders experience future-oriented fear? OCD differs, and that though there is anxiety felt in the sufferers obsession They are able to find temporary relief in their ritualistic compulsions Unfortunately for OCD sufferers, this means a life of cyclical ritualism that can affect daily living Those are suffer from PTSD May suffer anxiety-like symptoms similar to GAD or even panic disorder But PTSD is unique and that its past oriented The sufferer suffers flashbacks that bring them back to the event of their traumatization If you’re diagnosed with anxiety disorder, it’s okay Millions of people around the world understand what it’s like to suffer from an anxiety disorder, so you’re not alone Understand that every single one of these anxiety types is often treatable and manageable Also, if you know someone who may benefit from online counseling we’ve partnered up with Better Help, an affordable online counselling platform that you can utilize They’re constantly striving to improve their services and terms and conditions.
