Very helpful video! I think if you distilled it down into a 1min-ish short-form version and reposted on youtube and/or tiktok, you'll find a lot of traction! Thank you and have a good one!
@@omarmuhieddine8112 I'm with you on disliking tiktok lol, there's a reason I don't have it installed :P But you can't underestimate the power of short-form content, and youtube shorts is becoming an increasingly relevant platform, and I really do think you can take off in that space! (I haven't seen any of your other videos or anything though, so I'm not sure how well it'd align with your personal goals, but you can't argue with the numbers when it comes to short-form)
If you go back to what I said, it's just a way to trick the brain and to get you focusing on the present (experiencing a sensation). This is actually proven by cognitive science - the fact that you can only be having the insula working as opposed to both the insula and amygdala, for example.
@@omarmuhieddine8112yes but can you please give us other examples besides putting our bare feet on a cold tile floor. What are other practical ways to do this when you may be having a heated argument, or an anxiety attack and can't just touch tile?
Sure thing: - Breathing Mindfully: When you consciously pay attention to your breath entering and leaving your body, your insula becomes activated. - Taste and Savoring Food: While enjoying a meal, you engage your senses in the experience, including the taste, texture, and aroma of the food, which can activate the insula and help you savor the present moment, potentially reducing stress. - Listening to Music: listening to soothing or favorite music can engage the insula and provide a sense of comfort and relaxation. -Aromatherapy: this involves inhaling the scents of essential oil which can trigger the insula and evoke different emotional responses, potentially helping someone manage stress or anxiety. Another great one that's backed by neuroscience to help relieve anxiety is this: Counting a number sequence (say from 1-6) out of order (e.g. 1, 5, 4, 2, 6,3) and repeating this several times helps suppress the effects of cortisol secretion from your amygdala (another flaw in the brain: you can't be anxious and count numbers out of order!). Hope the info is useful :)
Thanks Doc
I didn't understand a word he said, but I'm getting a feeling that he's incredibly underrated.
You got a great voice man
Thanks!
Thanks for the video 👍👍
No worries - thanks!

Thanks for your feedback. Not a fan of tiktok! Would be challenging to do so ;)

Have you considered Instagram?
Not a fan! I tend to find RUclips is a lot more accessible ;)
sir i love you
So if i keep downtalking myself in my head, if i concentrate on standing bare feet on a cold floor and focus on that, is that supposed to work?
