- Dr. Andrew Miki explores the intriguing connection between pigeons' learned behaviors and human mental health. Drawing on his experience in animal cognition, he reveals how our brains, like pigeons, reinforce coping mechanisms over time. Dr. Miki sheds light on counterproductive common coping habits such as procrastination and smartphone reliance, emphasizing their impact on anxiety and depression.
Through personal anecdotes, including his role as a father, he highlights the importance of developing self-confidence to combat mental health challenges. The talk encourages viewers to reflect on their coping mechanisms, fostering a dialogue about mental health, and inspiring a journey toward unlearning unhealthy habits for improved well-being.

I Just realised i use my phone way way too much when i am anxious about something and i am very very distracted during these episodes. This is my unhealthy coping mechanism which is getting worse day by day. I just don't know what to do. The uncertainty of certain things just cripple my brain. I am unsure what to do next. I have nobody to talk to about this too.
Samething is happening with me …repetitive manner but the only solution I found is keeping busy myself , spending more hours in gym basically you should try each and every activity which you find interesting than only we can change our neuroplasticity
Psychologists are there to help us!
@@mazare1000 are you a psychologist
@@levieleven908No, I'm not a psychologist. I'm attending therapy sessions, she listens to me and I follow her guidance.
Me too
Lots of powerful lessons here, Andrew. Thanks so much!
Congratulations Andrew.
I “absorb” other people energy too much - when someone get upset or angry around me it automatically makes me anxious even though it has nothing to do with me. I wish I could fix this about myself.
That empathy might be difficult in those situations, but it's also your greatest strength and what people probably find amazing about you when you channel it in the right ways ❤
@@VintageVigilante thank you I had few people tell me it’s strength too but I can’t but feel overwhelmed and moody because of that. I don’t know how to manage it in the right way.
@@martini87c That's where introspection and speaking with people you trust (or a therapist) could help you gain confidence, self-awareness and the ability to manage your empathy better.
This just made more sense to me than all of the books or other videos I've watched combined. Thank you. It's giving me a place to start by helping me explain it.
Great speech!
Really social media may be adverse effects in our lives but also effect in good way when we use it in right 👍 way

Amazing talk
A very inspiring talk. I was creating a video today about talking to teenagers in a way that they change their own mind, without being told No. You said it all perfectly. 👏👏👏
Amazing talk
Good timing on this post. My grandfather was just put into a medically induced coma. They don’t make ‘em like him anymore. To me this is why faith n religion are important because they give us hope for the suffering
❤
Your grandfather is very lucky to have you as his family God bless you and your family
Amazing speech ❤️

My coping method is taking shower doing skincare or taking a nap
Amazing talk
For me better self talk just didn't help that much. I had to start taking action. I started with the 1% rule. Everyday I'd try and improve by 1%. This helped move me out of depression and my self talk became better. However, I would recommend realistic self talk. Don't beat yourself down needlessly.
HELPING - OTHERS to motivate ourselves, to keep trying...?
(I believe that sharing ideas and concerns can be a great motivator) TNX MCH

I am watching this inspiring video even on my smartphone😂 and going to scroll down the screen when this video ends to seek assurance. Sigh😢
Most adults cope by eating unhealthy foods and gaining weight. Sad.

It's fine. It not coping, you are learning. You have a goal. That 's very different from endlessly scrolling to seek reassurance
This is such a good and healthy use of technology... For education!
I’m same
Great and timely message that I will be sharing with everyone I care about!

So self soothing is a bad thing?
No, only if in the long term it has made you feel worse. Then it is an unhealthy coping mechanism.
Some one
Interesting obviously and talking or talk out is tested advice but irony which floats n floating all over is to whom ......and then 1 entity with different names comes in reality n that is GOD......n here we hear what we say and what we say is we hear so the circles repeats....i am we and when we becomes I as whole then no one is alone......
