Today on the Doc On The Run Podcast we are talking with Patrick Durante about Automatic Negative Thoughts and how they affect runners.   Many years ago I was having a discussion about daily stressors with a friend of mine name Maury. He said something I have never forgotten.   “It's not the lions and tigers that will get you. It's the ants and mosquitoes because problems.”   Every single over training injury that afflicts runners as a consequence of developing too much stress. The constant buzzing of mosquitoes and ants may drive you crazy. And Today we are talking about the creepy, crawly kind of ant, but A.N.T. or Automatic Negative Thoughts that buzz through our heads and inhibit our ability to finish races on time, complete training runs in a gratifying way, and may even may inhibit our recovery from hard workouts or over training injuries.

If 90% of our thoughts each day are on repeat, imagine how our core beliefs about ourselves are damaged if most of them are ANTs. Conversely, if we turn ANTs into ALTs, the impact in our mental health and healing process will be significant, to say the least. In this episode, I'll explain how our brain changes from ANTs, accelerating the aging process and fuels the disease process. I'll share some common examples, so you can learn to catch them fast, and replace them with ALTs. Learn more at drskyler.net and receive "5 Things Every Child Wishes Their Parents Knew."

Learn how the prevalent Automatic Negative Thoughts (ANTs) can sabotage your self-esteem, self-efficacy and self-worth. But if we can produce ANTs, why can't we overcome them with Automatic Loving Thoughts (ALTs)? In this episode, I'll share where ANTs come from, and the importance and ramifications from cultivating ALTs in your life. This is one skill we definitely want to pass along to your children, partners, friends and to ourselves. Plus, I'll share a powerful, and proven, tool to transform ANTs to ALTs.

She wrote the book "Three Word Meetings."  Lisa coaches leaders on creating sales and business meetings with fun and interesting 3-word topics to create a conversation and inspire your sales team.   Episode 227 Get Rid of your Automatic Negative Thoughts!    I was in a coaching session with a seller discussing their new business activity. They shared all the reasons and roadblocks to their lack of success connecting with these targets. I can't get anyone on the phone. When I get someone to answer, they block me from getting to the decision-maker. Or They are not returning my emails. Sound familiar?   You may have an ANT problem.    I am not talking about ANTs in your house. I am talking about ANTs in your mind!   ANTs are "automatic negative thoughts." Most people place limitations on themselves in the form of these thoughts, at least sometimes. You create this endless loop in your mind that prevents you from accomplishing your goals. It takes too much time to connect with new clients? I could start tomorrow. So you stop before even starting?   These ANTs are everywhere, and there isn't enough ant spray to eliminate them. But you can start by stopping them from entering your life and business. If you regularly tell yourself that you can't accomplish something, or you don't have the skill sets, energy, or smart enough, you won't do anything. You will stay stuck with the negative self-talk and never accomplish what you set out to do.   Start exterminating those ANTs by trusting you can accomplish what you want with a good game plan and taking action on your goals and dreams.      How do we Get Rid of Negative Thoughts and Boost Your Business Success?   Running a successful business can be challenging and daunting, especially if your mind is constantly bombarded with negative thoughts. Sometimes, negativity can come from external factors such as market fluctuations or economic downturns. Still, our doubts, fears, and limiting beliefs often keep us from achieving our goals.    Fortunately, there are ways to eliminate negative thoughts and turn your mindset into a more positive, productive, and profitable one. Whether you're a sales representative seeking to improve your pitches or generate more leads, these tips can help you unlock your full potential and achieve business success.     Identify Your ANT The first step to banishing negative thoughts is to acknowledge their existence. It's essential to identify which thoughts are holding you back and making you feel anxious, stressed, or depressed. Once you are conscious of your limiting beliefs, you can challenge them by asking yourself why they are there in the first place. Are they based on past experiences, unrealistic expectations, or fear of failure? Once you pinpoint the source of your negative thoughts, you can address them head-on and turn them into positive affirmations.   Surround Yourself With Positive People The people you surround yourself with can significantly impact your mindset and energy levels. That's why connecting with people with a positive mindset, supportive attitude, and uplifting spirit is crucial. Seek mentors, coaches, colleagues, or friends who can inspire, motivate, and challenge you to reach your full potential. Make sure to surround yourself with people who believe in you, your vision, and your business goals. Avoid toxic relationships, negative feedback, and pessimistic attitudes that drain your energy and dampen your spirits.   Focus on Your Strengths It's easy to get overwhelmed by the day-to-day challenges such as sales quotas, client meetings, or product development. Sometimes, you may need help keeping up with your competitors or falling short of your expectations.   Instead of dwelling on your weaknesses and shortcomings, focus on your strengths. What sets you apart from your competitors? What unique skills and talents do you possess? What achievements have you made so far? Celebrate your successes, no matter how small, and use them as motivation to keep pushing forward.     Practice Self-Care Taking care of your mental and physical health is crucial for maintaining a positive mindset and reducing stress.

"Self-regulation will always be a challenge, but if somebody's going to be in charge, it might as well be me." Daniel Akst On today's Episode #273 we will cover ✔ A review of Brain Fact Friday #112, where we introduced Self-Regulation, and why it's important for our overall mental health and wellbeing.  ✔ One strategy from the work of Dr. Daniel Amen for Self-Regulating Automatic Negative Thoughts. ✔ Two strategies from the work of Dr. Andrew Huberman--One on using self-regulation to calm ourselves down in less than a minute, and the other to strengthen the NO-GO Circuits in our brain to help with impulse control.   Welcome back to The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast where we bridge the gap between theory and practice, with strategies, tools and ideas we can all use immediately, applied to the most current brain research to heighten productivity in our schools, sports environments and modern workplaces. For returning guests, welcome back, and for those who are new listeners, I'm Andrea Samadi and launched this podcast almost 4 years ago, to share how important an understanding of our brain is for our everyday life and results.  This season (Season 9) we will be focused on Neuroscience: Going Back to the Basics as we revisit our past Brain Fact Fridays, narrowing in on how anything new from the field of neuroscience can be tied to improving our productivity, our results, our mental and physical health. Why are we going back to the basics? When we are building something worthwhile, something that we want to last, going back to the foundations will help us to strengthen our understanding of our brain, and our mind, to our results, providing us with the extra strength we will need to overcome the obstacles and challenges that will come our way. My hopes are that this step backwards will help us to become better prepared to move forward, towards our goals, or whatever it is that we are working on this year, with this strong foundation in place. Today's EPISODE #273, we are going back to our second Brain Fact Friday, EPISODE #112, released in March of 2021 on “Training Your Brain to Self-Regulate Automatic Negative Thoughts and Emotions”[i] where we looked at our recent interview with my good friend Horacio Sanchez, from EPISODE #111 on “Finding Solutions to the Poverty Problem.”[ii] Horacio Sanchez said, “Did you know that when we engage in inner speech, all the mechanisms of outer speech and the auditory process activate in the brain? Therefore, what we say to ourselves is just like hearing it said by someone else to us. Inform students (and ourselves) that inner speech can build them up or destroy them.” (Horacio Sanchez)[iii] I brought up the damaging effects of Automatic Negative Thinking on one of our early episodes, #14 on Self-Regulation.[iv] This skill of managing our thoughts, emotions and behavior comes under the competency of self-regulation (one of the 6 social and emotional learning competencies that we covered in the beginning episodes of this podcast, to set the foundation for what I envisioned with the content we would be covering here. It's these 6 pillars that I saw as the foundation for us to build upon, and improve and is the heart of The Neuroscience Meets SEL Podcast. What is Self-Regulation and Why is it So Important to Be Able to Manage Those Negative Thoughts, Our Emotions and Even Our Behavior? Self-regulation is “the ability to manage your emotions and behavior in accordance with the demands of the situation. It includes being able to resist highly emotional reactions to upsetting stimuli, to calm yourself down when you get upset, adjust to a change in expectations and (the ability) to handle frustration”[v] In other words, it's the ability to bounce back after a setback or disappointment, and the ability to stay in congruence with your inner value system.  On EPISODE #111, I gave some examples of how we could teach self-regulation to our children and students, and even gave some thoughts on why it's an important skill to master in the workplace. You can go back this episode if you want to review these tips by clicking on the link in the show notes, but for today's episode, almost 3 years later, I wonder, “how good am I at self-regulation” and have I improved this skill at all over the years? Since this is a how-to podcast, where I want to provide tips for us all to use and implement immediately, backed by the most current neuroscience research, I thought I would check in with what Stanford Professor and Neuroscientist Dr. Andrew Huberman would say about self-regulation. I'm probably going to reflect back to his work, or anyone else who can explain how to implement the concepts I'm trying to reinforce on this podcast, or anyone who can help me to explain the details of science in a way that we can all understand and apply it. So far, I've found Dr. Daniel Amen (who I've talked a lot about on this podcast with his idea of controlling our ANTS, or automatic negative thoughts) and will look at Dr. Andrew Huberman's work to see what he says about self-regulation. Dr. Amen and Controlling Those ANTS What I love about Dr. Amen's work, is that he explains why eliminating negative thoughts is so important. Did you know that “every time your brain has a thought, it releases chemicals? Every time you have a sad, hopeless, mad, cranky, unkind, judgmental, or helpfulness thought, your brain immediately releases chemicals that make your body feel awful.[vi] He goes on to explain the physiological effects of negative thinking saying “your hands get cold and wet, your muscles get tense, your heart beats faster, and your breathing becomes shallower (and all of this activity) in your frontal and temporal lobes decreases which negatively affects your judgement, learning and memory.” (Dr. Amen). Do what can we do to avoid this pitfall of making ourselves feel rotten? Dr. Amen suggests that we “work on disciplining the mind” to get rid of these Automatic Negative Thoughts to keep ourselves in a healthier frame of mind. On our last episode, we talked about an effective strategy used in cognitive behavioral therapy[vii] of saying the word “SWITCH” in your head as you focus on switching the negative emotion that you feel to something more positive. This takes some practice, that's for sure. I've always used the strategy of saying “STOP” when this happens and changing the thought pattern in my head to something more productive. Also, remembering the idea of RESPONDING to situations with questions to dig deeper, and learn more, instead of REACTING with emotion, or jumping to conclusions, or incorrect assumptions, is always a better solution. Now let's dive a bit deeper here, and see what Dr. Andrew Huberman has to say about self-regulation. Dr. Andrew Huberman on Self-Regulation Dr. Huberman reminds us why self-regulation is important, and says that “knowledge of knowledge can actually help you to intervene” (which is why we are doing this podcast and breaking down the science so we can all use it to improve our lives) and he discusses why self-regulation with our behaviors is important. He notes a question to ask ourselves “when I'm thinking that I'm feeling low, nothing feels good, am I depressed? Maybe (he says) or maybe you've saturated the dopamine circuits and you're now in the pain part of things. What do you do? (He says) you have to stop. You need to replenish dopamine. You need to stop engaging in the behavior (whatever it was you were doing that you noticed lost something for you) and then the pleasure for it will come back. You have to constantly control the hinge, make sure the hinge doesn't get stuck in the pain or in pleasure.”[viii] We covered this concept in depth with our interview with Dr. Anna Lembke and her book, Dopamine Nation on EPISODE #162[ix] where she dove deep with us on how we are constantly trying to distract ourselves from the present moment to be entertained” and “that we're all running from pain—we'll do almost anything to distract ourselves from ourselves” and that “we've lost the ability to tolerate even minor forms of discomfort.”  Here's where I notice my inability to tolerate even mild forms of discomfort as Dr. Lembke was saying. Let's take writing these episodes. I wake up early, go to my desk, and am ready to get back to my notes over the week where I've gathered ideas and research, and now I need to put them all in one place for this episode. It's not as mentally challenging as I've already written the first episode, but now I've got to see if I can improve it somehow with the latest research, and while writing, the minute I get stuck on what to say next, I will get up, and do something to distract myself, and come back after a few minutes. Is there a better, more effective, science-backed solution for me to use when I've hit a wall, and need a break? Dr. Andrew Huberman explained it beautifully on Mayim Bialik's Podcast[x] (side-note, do you remember her? She's an American Actress who was on the NBC Sitcom Blossom, and went on to study in the field of neuroscience, crossing paths with Dr. Huberman along the way. On this episode, she did with Dr. Huberman, he describes an activity he uses for stress reduction in minutes, that we can all use to self-regulate when we need it. Try This Activity! How to Self-Regulate Your Brain in Less Than a Minute I loved this episode with Dr. Huberman and Mayim[xi], as she talks about him as being “the smartest human being on the planet” and he talks about remembering her when she was interviewing at Graduate School and he didn't miss a detail. There's an obvious respect that each one has for the other. On this episode, with Mayim, Dr. Huberman shares a quick and easy activity we can all to do calm us down in less than a minute. He says, “Do a double inhale through your nose, one longer inhale and then sneak in a quick second inhale, which re-inflates the sacks in your lungs, and then do a long full exhale to empty out all the air from your lungs” This,  he says “naturally activates the neural circuits in the brain and body that shift that see-saw from sympathetic (alertness and stress) to parasympathetic.”    It looks like this. Just one of these, Dr. Huberman says will return us to a calm state. While reflecting back to our first episode on self-regulation, we did talk about a couple of examples to say “STOP” or “SWITCH” to stop those negative thoughts from ruminating in our head, but this breathing activity, I think is something I will try moving forward. What About Self-Regulating Our Behaviors? So now I think we all have a strategy we can use right away to calm ourselves down when we need to, but how else could we train our brain to self-regulate? This one, I learned from a podcast episode from Jessica Stillman's INC Magazine's article[xii] where she picks Dr. Huberman as a resource for this strategy. You can also watch an incredible interview with Shane Parrish[xiii] on this concept. The important part to understand here is that our Basal Ganglia is vitally important for controlling our thoughts and actions and Dr. Huberman teaches us that “there are two main circuits that are both regulated by dopamine. Some of the circuits are involved in the go functions (where we lean into our work—its action oriented) and the other one is no-go and it involves certain neurotransmitters like dopamine to suppress behavior.”[xiv] He gives some examples reminding us as adults, that most of the time we are operating with our GO circuits (waking up, making our bed, getting ready, go to work etc) but think of our kids and many of their circuits involves to NO go circuits, like when we tell our kids, sit still, don't do that etc) and it's not easy for them to do this. The research behind the whole marshmallow experiment that I re-enacted with my kids[xv] proves how important this skill is for our students' future success, so I wondered, how can we all improve this NO-GO circuit in our brain? Activity 2: How to Train Your Brain to Control Your Impulses and Self-Control This is what Dr. Huberman does to intentionally train his brain to become stronger, keeping his impulses under control. He intentionally plans 20-30 NO-GO activities a day to strengthen this circuit in his brain. He says that the things you choose would be specific to you, and one way we both relate is that when I'm working in a block of time, and get stuck, I have this impulse to look at my phone, or get up and heat up my coffee or something. Anything to take me away for a minute of where I'm stuck. Instead of doing this, he suggests, stay there a minute longer and see if you can get past the block. This will strengthen my NO-GO circuit, and help me to reach those higher levels of productivity. He mentions another example of how many of us find it difficult to sit and meditate. I remember the first time doing this I really struggled as I could hear the kids running around, and I really wanted to get up. This was because my GO circuits were stronger than my NO-GO circuits. What's interesting is that you will have to monitor this one over time, because meditation and blocking out the world gets easier with time, so if I want to keep strengthening my NO GO circuit, I'll have to look for 20-30 things (to replicate Dr. Huberman's Strategy) that I want to do each day, and not do them, or at least, not do them right away. Can you think of 20-30 things that you will suppress to strengthen YOUR NO-GO circuit? If it's difficult, begin with just 4 things. Here's some ideas- Don't eat the thing you were going to eat. Don't get up from working when things are difficult. Change up a work out and don't do it the same. Don't pick up your phone when you are working. Whatever you habitually do, do it differently and it will feel strange at first, until you strengthen this part of your brain that Dr. Huberman says is like “keeping the blad sharp on both sides (the get up and go into action side, and the don't go, leave the phone alone) side. REVIEW AND CONCLUSION: To Review and Conclude this week's Brain Fact Friday, we took a deeper dive into EPISODE #112, on “Training Your Brain to Self-Regulate Automatic Negative Thoughts and Emotions”[xvi] with some tips from Dr. Daniel Amen on how to stop those Automatic Negative Thoughts from making ourselves feeling rotten, and disciplining our mind to stay in the positive. Then we went to Dr. Andrew Huberman's research with 2 strategies for calming our mind in one minute with that breathing exercise and the idea of strengthening our NO-GO circuits by suppressing certain actions in our day. I hope that you find these strategies helpful for improving your day to day work and personal life, and that we all can use the science behind these strategies to strengthen our brain and our results. I have to say that I did use the breathing strategy BEFORE recording this episode, and plan on carving out some NO GO activities within my day today. I'd love to know what you think of this episode. With that, I'll see you next week where we will look at what's NEW for building a faster, stronger, more resilient brain.

According to Dr Amen, the nine most common Automatic Negative Thoughts are: 1) the all-or-nothing ANT, 2) the less-than ANT, 3) the just-the-bad ANT, 4) the guilt-beating ANT, 5) the labeling ANT, 6) the fortune-telling ANT, 7) the mind-reading ANT, 8) the if-only ANT, and 9) the blame ANT. With humor and a light touch, Rebecca talks about how we can stop these ANTs from wreaking our life “picnic.”

Human brains do a lot of thinking—to the tune of about 6200 thoughts per day! Most of these are just passing thoughts, but according to researchers, a lot of those that reach our consciousness can be classified as negative thoughts. This week, I'm sharing the science behind the phenomenon that explains this: negativity bias. -because it's a way of thinking that can affect our health, our well-being, and determine whether we live our lives to the fullest.     I talk about:    Where these kinds of negative thoughts come from   How they affect our health, relationships, and the choices we make—including whether we take big leaps on our dreams!   How to recognize negativity bias in the form of Automatic Negative Thoughts (or ANTS)  And I share how you can transform this thinking so that you can reframe inhibiting, fear-based, unhelpful thought patterns into courageous action in your life.    If you want to live your life more optimistically and effectively, check out this episode.    For the accompanying article, visit http://avivaromm.com/negativity-bias.      Thank you so much for taking the time to tune in to your body, yourself, and this podcast!

Everybody has negative thoughts here and there, but what about when they're your automatic response? In this episode of The Reset Podcast, Joe and Kristin talk about the best CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) techniques to combat automatic negative thinking. They'll also spend time talking about the difference between "filling" your life with things and being actually "full" and content.

ANTs are Automatic Negative Thoughts and our heads are full of 'em! That is why we need to take every thought captive and make it obedient to Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5). We need to examine our thoughts under the light of God's truth and be intentional about which thoughts we allow to be planted in our hearts. It's almost impossible to control our emotions but we CAN control our thoughts and it is our thoughts that often create our emotions, both positive and negative. Better thinking leads to better feeling which leads to better action! Danny Hochstatter helps us defeat our ANTs today with the help of Captain Snout (a children's book by Daniel G. Amen, M.D.).

In this message, Pastor Miles teaches us a six step drill to follow to overcome automatic negative thoughts that hold us captive and prevent us from being all that we were designed to be.

We all have negative thoughts.  Negative thoughts come because our brains are always scanning for dangerous threats and discomfort.  It wants to protect us and keep us safe.  But people who deal with anxiety or depression tend to have an overabundance of negative thoughts when it comes to themselves, the world, and the future. Thoughts like, “I never do anything right”, “I am always going to fail” “Nothing ever works out for me”, “I am so stupid!”  These thought distortions seem true, and over time, they can become Automatic Negative Thoughts, or ANTs for short.  These ANTS become habit forming thoughts which can actually alter the brain's chemistry, depleting it of the "feel good" neural transmitters of serotonin and dopamine.  But there are ways to retrain your brain and break those thought habits.  On this episode we will discuss the six ways to attack those ANTS.   And, spoiler alert, finding a coach is one of them.  Click on the link below for a free coaching session when you want to break any negative thought habit.  https://coachwithangela.as.me/

We have a lot of thoughts. Most of them are stream of consciousness and surface level. Unfortunately, they are also mostly negative. Negative thinking, the kind that comes unbidden and without awareness. Negative thinking leads to poor mental health which leads to more negative thoughts which leads to poorer mental health. You cannot avoid all negative thoughts, but you can begin to challenge them, reframe them and use positive thinking to counteract them. This can be done through a cognitive behavior therapy frame, for free, at home, and there is no downside. Questions for Challenging Thoughts Positive Replacement Thoughts Identifying ANTS

Listen to this Whinypaluza Wednesday Live vlog episode with The Greene Family! An extension of the weekly blog, join Rebecca and her family on the live vlog, brought to you here in case you missed it last week! This week: Your Brain Lies To You Have you ever stopped to think about all the things you say to yourself throughout the day? We are oftentimes very critical of ourselves, without really realizing it. What can we do to change the conversation? Do you have ANTs?! Automatic Negative Thoughts and why they are important to get out of your brain? Neural pathways are created when we have the same thoughts over and over. Bad thoughts will repeat themselves. The good news is that good thoughts can repeat themselves, too. Some of the most common negative thoughts in adults. They are often the same in our children. Becoming aware of these thoughts is the first step to overcoming them. The four main categories of cognitive distortions: personalizing, filtering, catastrophizing, and polarizing. What do they all mean, and what impact do they have? How do we avoid these distortions? Combatting negative thinking starts with awareness. Question yourself when you say negative things. Is what you are saying accurate? Do you have facts to support them? What you say if you were talking to a friend? What would a friend or your spouse say to you? Sometimes the things you are most critical of are the traits others love about you.   Want to read the full blog?

In this episode, Brian and Josh discuss self-talk strategies to handle Automatic Negative Thoughts (ANT's). Certain strategies mentioned were inspired from the book Chatter by Ethan Kross including distancing from the problem (seeing it from an outsider's perspective), journaling, and using one's own voice when communicating through self-talk. Additionally, the co-hosts reviewed the importance of developing one's personal philosophy and building character when it comes to developing effective self-talk strategies.

How can you clear the clutter of your inner voice? Do you feel like the voice inside your head is preventing you from being your best self? Well, I have some tools that you can use to take control of your thoughts. First, let's talk about junk thoughts. I also like to call them ANTs, Automatic Negative Thoughts, because most of the time these debilitating thought patterns come completely automatically. You see, the “animal” part of the brain, the part with the triple directive to (1) seek pleasure, (2) avoid pain, and (3) maximize its efficiency in doing these, was evolved specifically to keep us in our comfort zone. The “unconscious” brain will often deter you from doing things that make you uncomfortable, like adopting conscious parenting routines, starting that small business, or working toward a health and fitness goal. The good news is that these thoughts are NORMAL. It is part of the human experience to get major pushback from your brain when you want to leave your comfort zone. Now, listen. This title is not what it seems to be at first glance, because junk thoughts are like junk mail in that you're going to get them every day. Again, it's normal, it's part of the human experience, it's nothing to worry about. I might be worried if you actually never had junk thoughts! But you're not going to permanently rid yourself of them. The trick is to take small, consistent steps toward controlling your reaction to junk thoughts when they come. That is the purpose of today's episode, and I PROMISE that if you make consistent effort toward dealing with the junk thoughts as they occur, you will see big changes in your life!
