Podcasts about craving mind

The reason you struggle with bad habits or anxiety doesn't stem from a lack of willpower—it's likely because you aren't hacking your brain properly. From daily routines to anxious tendencies, many of our behaviors seem beyond our control, but psychiatrist and neuroscientist Dr. Judson Brewer has the answers for finding more agency in our minds. Brewer, the Director of Research and Innovation at Brown University's Mindfulness Center and author of The Hunger Habit, The Craving Mind and Unwinding Anxiety, joins Mind Game host Casey Bannon to reveal that willpower isn't the solution. Instead, it's the superpowers of curiosity that can help us understand our brains, manage anxiety, cultivate healthier habits and, perhaps most importantly, make more putts.Subscribe to The Golfer's Journal: ⁠https://www.golfersjournal.com/⁠Get 10 free AG1travel packs when you subscribe: ⁠https://drinkag1.com/event/bts24⁠Find out which Vokey wedges work for you: ⁠https://www.vokey.com/All Mind Game episodes: ⁠https://www.golfersjournal.com/category/podcast/mind-game-podcast/

There are as many ways to have a difficult relationship with food as there are ways to eat. It's hard to get conversations about these challenges right, but today we're taking the plunge and exploring the habit of eating when we're not hungry with psychiatrist Dr. Jud Brewer.  Dr. Rick, Forrest, and Dr. Jud start by discussing our often flawed approach to conversations about eating patterns, shame spirals, and the many problems with diets. They then move the conversation from what we eat to how we eat, applying Dr. Jud's work on habits and craving to the challenge of emotional eating. Specific topics include the neuroscience behind how our hunger cues and emotional cues get mixed up, common habit loops related to food, reward value and the importance of creating a prediction error, the nature of craving as wanting without liking, mindfulness-based tools, and how we can create a bigger, better offer for our brains.

Seres de todos os reinos, Talvez pensemos que o conceito de vício se aplique apenas àqueles que perderam completamente o leme de sua vida para o álcool, o cigarro e as drogas ilegais. Mas ele pode ser pensado de maneira um pouco mais ampla, incluindo tudo aquilo que continuamos a fazer mesmo tendo consequências prejudiciais. E aí pode entrar o celular, o Big Brother, o Chandele de chocolate e aquela velha ruminação que só te põe pra baixo. Uma interessante discussão do tema, em intenso diálogo com tradições contemplativas e suas ferramentas, se encontra no livro do psiquiatra Judson Brewer, The Craving Mind (em tradução livre, A Mente Compulsiva). Para falar sobre a abordagem de Brewer e outras coisinhas mais, convidamos Fabiana Gaspar, fundadora da Via Integrativa, que conduziu recentemente um grupo de estudo e apoio baseado no livro de Brewer, e já estudou o tema academicamente. Pelo Via Integrativa, a Fabiana oferece atividades ligadas a yoga, mindfulness e habilidades socioemocionais, incluindo o Insight Dialogue. Também tivemos a honra de contar com nosso querido amigo, o psicólogo e professor Rondinelli Mariano, na mesa. O papo está viciante e esperamos que tenha consequências agradáveis em todes. Bom programa!

Fear plus uncertainty equals anxiety but uncertainty can also move us into a growth mindset. When there's a lot of uncertainty and we're really feeling down on our luck or really stressed out because of our finances; in those moments when we're really worried, take a deep breath, step back, and ask yourself if this worrying is helping. Because worrying makes our thinking brain go offline. What do we need to help us move forward? We need our thinking brain."  - Dr. Jud Brewer     In This Episode, Dr. Jud Brewer Uncovers: [1:30] How Worry & Anxiety Become Habits breathwork.io Dr. Jud Brewer Unwinding Anxiety by Dr. Jud Brewer 319 Dr. Jud Brewer The Craving Mind by Dr. Jud Brewer Eat Right Now app Craving To Quit Sharecare Mind Science Unpacking the new sciences of breaking worry and fear to heal your mind.

If you lean into your hardships and challenges to get something out of them, they can actually be quite rewarding in the sense that you've grown and become more resilient.' - Dr. Jud Brewer How The Brain Builds New Habits "Remember our old brain is set up to help us survive. In addition to reward-based learning, it has another trick up his sleeve. It takes what it learns and moves the learning into muscle memory as soon as it can. In other words, our brains are set up to form habits so we can free up brain space to learn new things."  - Unwinding Anxiety by Dr. Jud Brewer Why Worry Can Be A Powerful Teacher "Inevitably life goes on and things are constantly changing and we have no control over the future. So, those feelings of uncertainty and wondering when the shoe is going to drop have been described as ways that make us feel like we're in control because at least we're doing something about it by worrying. However, worrying doesn't help and it actually makes our brain work less well. Try to see anything that isn't going well or isn't perfect as a learning experience. When your anxiety comes back up, what can you learn from it? If you lean into your hardships and challenges to get something out of them, they can actually be quite rewarding in the sense that you've grown and become more resilient." - Dr. Jud Brewer Moving Into A Growth Mindset "What do we need to do in today's age? We need to be able to think beyond our narrow sense because the world has changed a lot. It has had this seismic shift that's never going to go back and we don't even know what that's going to look like. So, ask yourself, what I am I getting from worrying? See if you can step out of the worry and lean into that challenge. I'm not saying this is easy but I'm saying this is what we can do, right? Lean into this and ask yourself how you can move into your growth mindset and what's possible for you right now."  - Dr. Jud Brewer Links From Today's Show  breathwork.io Unwinding Anxiety by Dr. Jud Brewer 319 Dr. Jud Brewer The Craving Mind by Dr. Jud Brewer Eat Right Now app Craving To Quit Sharecare Mind Science 129 Gretchen Rubin Eric Kandel Carol Dweck Michael Pollan Loving kindness meditation guided by Dr. Jud Brewer How to use kindness to create connection during crisis Dr. Jud Brewer on using mindfulness to ease worry and anxiety 'Habit Loops & Everyday Addictions' 'Tame Your Feelings of Anxiety' TED Talk | A simple way to break a bad habit | Judson Brewer Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Shop All Products BREATHE - 20% off with the code “PODCAST20” Organifi –20% off with the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' SEED Synbiotic - 30% off with the code "JOSHTRENT" BON CHARGE - 15% off with the code "JOSH15" MANNA Vitality - 20% off with the code "JOSH20" Mendi.io - 20% off with the code "JOSH20" SpectraSculpt - 15% off with the code "JOSH15" SaunaSpace - 10% off with the code "JOSH10" Cured Nutrition CBD - 20% off with the code "WELLNESS FORCE" PLUNGE - $150 off with the code “WELLNESSFORCE" LiftMode - 10% off with the code "JOSH10" HVMN Ketone-IQ - 20% off with the code "JOSH" MitoZen – 10% off with the code “WELLNESSFORCE” Paleovalley – 15% off with the link only NOOTOPIA - 10% off with the code "JOSH10" Activation Products - 20% off with the code “WELLNESSFORCE” SENSATE - $25 off with the code "JOSH25" ION - 15% off with the code ‘JOSH1KS' Feel Free from Botanic Tonics - $40 off with the code "WELLNESS40" Essential Oil Wizardry - 10% off with the code "WELLNESSFORCE" ALIVE WATERS - 33% off your first order with the code "JOSH33" DRY FARM WINES - Get an extra bottle of Pure Natural Wine with your order for just 1¢ Drink LMNT – Zero Sugar Hydration: Get your free LMNT Sample Pack, with any purchase Free Resources M21 Wellness Guide - Free 3-Week Breathwork Program with Josh Trent Join Wellness + Wisdom Community About Dr. Jud Brewer Dr. Jud is the Executive Medical Director of Behavioral Health at Sharecare, Director of Research and Innovation at the Mindfulness Center, and associate professor in psychiatry at the School of Medicine at Brown University, as well as a research affiliate at MIT.

Are you struggling with eating habits? Do you want to end the cycle of overeating or restricting and change your relationship with food? Eating with awareness and understanding your body's cues is the key. In this episode of “Your Life in Process” Diana and regular contributor, Dr. Judson Brewer, discuss resetting your eating habits to overcome challenging food patterns.   About Dr. Judson BrewerJudson Brewer M.D. Ph.D. (“Dr. Jud”) is a New York Times best-selling author and thought leader in the field of habit change and the “science of self-mastery”, having combined over 20 years of experience with mindfulness training with his scientific research therein.

Follow him on Twitter @drjudbrewer Key TakeawaysIf you want to find a way of eating that works for your unique needs, first begin to notice your own eating patterns in order to bring awareness to the associated behaviors, emotions, and physical body sensations. Our relationship with food is impacted by our judgments, rules about “good vs. bad” foods, our food-related values, and our societal body culture.  Take a compassionate perspective with yourself around your eating habits. You struggle with your eating because you care about your health, body, and life.

Our brains cause us to crave many things. It might be material like a new car. It might be an experience like a vacation. It might be advancement like a promotion at work. And, of course, it might be a substance like sugar or alcohol. For too many of us, this craving can lead to addiction and we can begin to feel as though the addiction controls our very lives. Why do we become addicted to things that are bad for us? What do all addictions have in common? And, how can we get back in the driver's seat in our lives and regain control over our addictions? Fortunately, I spoke with the right guy to answer these and any other questions you'll want answered! Dr. Judson Brewer is a world class psychiatrist, neuroscientist, and a bestselling author of several books including one we'll draw from in this interview called The Craving Mind. Jud earned a doctorate in medicine as well as a PhD in immunology, and he is a professor at Brown University Medical School. He gave a TED talk with over 10 million views on how to break a bad habit and he's developed apps to assist people in gaining control over their craving minds. I'm confident you'll love learning from Jud as I did on this episode as we talk about our craving minds and how to handle them.

How does it feel for you to get sucked in? Notice what it feels like to be fully present. How does it feel when you are fully present in a conversation or in your body movement?  Relevant Resources Mentionedhttps://drdianahill.com/extras/ (Download Your Daily Practice for Episode 11 Here) https://drjud.com/about/ (Learn More About Dr. Jud) Read Dr. Jud's books: https://bookshop.org/books/the-craving-mind-from-cigarettes-to-smartphones-to-love-why-we-get-hooked-and-how-we-can-break-bad-habits/9780300234367 (The Craving Mind) and https://bookshop.org/books/unwinding-anxiety-new-science-shows-how-to-break-the-cycles-of-worry-and-fear-to-heal-your-mind/9780593330449 (Unwinding Anxiety) https://podtail.com/da/podcast/psychologists-off-the-clock-a-psychology-podcast-a/196-the-neuroscience-of-marketing-with-matt-johnso/ (Listen to Diana Hill interview Prince Ghuman, author of Blindsight.) https://drdianahill.com/captivate-podcast/dopamine-nation-the-neuroscience-of-our-everyday-addictions-with-dr-anna-lembke/ (Listen to Diana Hill interview Anna Lembke, author of Dopamine Nation.)

Often anger can be triggered by getting something we don't want, having something we want taken away, or when we feel our values are threatened Evolutionarily, anger may be linked to maintaining our social status Anger can become a habit loop with a trigger, behavior, and result associated with it. The first step in changing your anger habit is to map out its loop.  It is possible to take action against injustice without acting from anger, but acting from compassion and values For long-term change, focus on the bigger better offer of being compassionate  Relevant Resources Mentionedhttps://drdianahill.com/extras/ (Download your Daily Process for Episode 3 Here) Read Dr. Jud's books: https://bookshop.org/books/the-craving-mind-from-cigarettes-to-smartphones-to-love-why-we-get-hooked-and-how-we-can-break-bad-habits/9780300234367 (The Craving Mind) and https://bookshop.org/books/unwinding-anxiety-new-science-shows-how-to-break-the-cycles-of-worry-and-fear-to-heal-your-mind/9780593330449 (Unwinding Anxiety) https://drjud.com/ (Learn more about Dr. Jud's Aps and programs) for eating, anxiety, and smoking Check out Dr. Jud on the http://www.fromstrivingtothriving.com/ (From Striving to Thriving Summit) with Diana https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnbeh.2014.00424/full (Research study Diana mentions about compassion meditators and anger ) Learn more about http://www.lightfully.com/ (Lightfully Behavioral Health) Thank you for listening to Your Life in Process!

Anxiety is a pretty common feeling–you likely know how it feels to have your heart suddenly race in your chest, your palms go sweaty and your words turn to gibberish before a big presentation or confrontation. Having these anxious feelings is bad enough when it's an isolated incident, but many of us–and our kids–might be feeling anxiety every day! This could be caused by anything, from eating to driving to social situations! For kids handling school, sports, clubs, college apps and friendship drama, anxiety may be a frequent presence keeping them from living their best life.It seems like this anxiety is simply an unavoidable, biological force, but our guest this week is encouraging us to think about anxious behaviors a little differently. Instead of viewing them as something we have little control over, he's telling us how anxiety may actually just be a force of habit, and therefore something we can change! Anxious responses follow the same patterns as habits, are often caused by similar triggers, and, as we're discussing this week, can be treated in similar ways.If you're looking to heal you or your teen's anxious patterns, this is the episode for you! Our guest is Judson Brewer, author of Unwinding Anxiety: New Science Shows How to Break the Cycles of Worry and Fear to Heal Your Mind. Judson is not only an internationally renowned psychiatrist and neuroscientist, but also the director of research and innovation at Brown's mindfulness center. His 2016 Ted Talk, tilted “A Simple Way to Break a Bad Habit, has over 16 million views on YouTube!In our interview, we're diving into how anxious tendencies act just like habits–with triggers, behavior and rewards. Plus, we're getting into how you can understand and reflect on your own behaviors, if you just have the courage to be curious.

Description: Dr. Jud Brewer, psychiatrist and neuroscientist, joins me on the show to discuss the epidemic of anxiety in our society, how to understand anxiety as a learned (and therefore unlearnable) habit, and the role mindfulness practice can play in "busting" these conditioned loops in our brains.

This is an episode about our craving, grasping minds. Whether you have struggled with a classic addiction or not, we all have addictive tendencies; we all wrestle with desire. I often think about a provocative question once posed by my friend, Dr. Jud Brewer, a Buddhist practitioner and addiction specialist: Are we all addicted? The implied answer is yes.    My guest today thinks about addiction in a similarly broad and compelling way. He talks about addictions to substances like drugs and alcohol, but also addiction to self and addiction to racism. Kevin Griffin is a longtime Buddhist practitioner and 12 Step participant, and is one of the founders of the Buddhist Recovery Network. He has trained with many of the legendary teachers we have interviewed on this show, including Jack Kornfield and Joseph Goldstein. He has written many books, including One Breath at a Time: Buddhism & the Twelve Steps. His latest is Buddhism & the Twelve Steps: Daily Reflections: Thoughts on Dharma and Recovery.   This is the first in a two part series we're doing this week on addiction. During the pandemic, we've seen alcohol use go up and drug overdose deaths rise. On Wednesday, we're going to talk to a woman named Annie Grace, who has come up with what she believes is a powerful alternative to AA. But today, it's Kevin Griffin. We cover a lot of ground here, including: How he connects the dharma to the 12 Steps, and a Buddhist list called the three refuges. But we start with what he calls the foundational addiction: addiction to the self.   Podcast Survey - We would appreciate it if you could take a few minutes to help us out by answering a brand-new survey about your experience with this podcast.

Welcome to Dharma PhD! In this episode we talk about John Peacocks' talk, "Buddhism Before the Theravada, Part 4".

Mindfulness a Solution for Addiction? Dr. Jud Brewer  ------ If we define addiction as continued behavior despite adverse consequences, we all have cause for concern. Perhaps you're up so late watching Netflix that you make a mistake at work that costs you your job; maybe your pornography compulsion blocks real intimacy with your partner and derails your marriage; or maybe your online gambling leaves you with maxed out credit cards. It all sounds ridiculous until you focus the lens on your own life, open up your definition of what addiction means, and immediately discover that you too have maladaptive behaviors that might warrant change. On this week's podcast, you'll meet an addiction psychiatrist who helps people use mindfulness on a path toward balance. Listen & Learn:  How to know if you're addicted?  How to analyse the trigger + behavior + results   Why you should focus on immediate experience (instead of long term)  How to start by knowing thyself  Links & Resources Dr Jud's Website ABOUT OUR GUEST Dr. Jud Brewer is an Addiction Psychiatrist and the author of The Craving Mind and the creator of a number of mindfulness apps.  He is director of research and innovation at the Mindfulness Center at Brown University, and the executive medical director of behavioral health at Sharecare.

Se Humberto Eco disse que a internet deu voz aos idiotas, eu diria que as redes sociais deram megafones a eles, mas que esses megafones são pré-programados a obedecerem muito aos donos dos gigantes do vale do silício.

Dopamina tem haver com motivação. Dopamina faz você ir em busca de algo. Dopamina está ligada a motivação e a aprendizagem. Seu cérebro aprende com as experiências e muda as conexões neurais. A dopamina não é liberada no momento que você consome algo. É liberada na próxima vez, antes de você consumir. A função dela é tentar prever o que vai causar o mesmo efeito. Dopamina não se importa se você gosta ou não de algo. E qual o problema da dopamina nos nossos telefones? Ramstein Brown é o fundador do Dopamine Labs. Uma empresa que cria algoritmos para empresas de tecnologia que querem explorar a dopamina como motivador de busca por mais tempo on-line. Um exemplo das coisas que eles criaram é um sistema que não te envia as notificações em tempo real. Em vez disso, armazena seus padrões de uso e te manda elas quando você estará mais propenso a sair do aplicativo.

Cory Muscara is a super interesting person.  Today, he is known for his work as a mindfulness teacher, author, podcaster, and speaker.  You'll find his career path interesting- he started meditating to impress his hippie girlfriend.  When that relationship didn't work out, he went all in, looked for the most challenging meditation training he could find and became a monk for 6 months in Burma where he meditated for 14+ hours per day under the instruction of Sayadaw U Pandita.  Fully engaged, he wanted more.  Not only does he have his Master's Degree in Positive Psychology from UPenn and teaches mindfulness-based leadership at Columbia University. He also currently serves as an assistant instructor for the positive psychology graduate program at the University of Pennsylvania. In addition, he has a wide array of meditation training including the 2-year Spirit Rock Community Dharma Leader training,  Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), completed certification with Mindful Schools & Search Inside Yourself, and has trained in Mindfulness-Based Inquiry, Breathworks Chronic Pain with Vidyamala Burch, the Trauma Institute led by Bessel Van der Kolk.  He is a 200-hour hatha yoga teacher, certified NLP & Eriksonian Hypnosis practitioner, and an Integrative Health Coach through Duke Integrative Medicine. Since then, he has had numerous appearances on Dr. Oz, has his own meditation courses and retreats, collaborates with meditation apps like Ten Percent Happier (my personal favorite), and recently published his first book called Stop Missing Your Life where he incorporates all of his teachings to help people navigate and take action to have more meaning in their relationships with others, internal relationships with themselves, and even how to have a positive relationship with digital devices.  Topics Discussed in the Podcast  Good luck/bad luck/who knows parable  how today's events impact the future in unknown ways what is equanimity? becoming a monk in Burma the importance of sitting with suffering & pain how not to quit despite deep discomfort intersection of mindfulness, positive psychology, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) FACE Model from Cory Muscara's book Stop Missing Your Life Pushing through internal walls holding you back in the PAIN Box Listen Now   Resources Get Cory Muscara's new book: Stop Missing Your Life Text your email to Cory for resources (mentioned in the show): +1 (631) 405 -4631 Cory's meditation courses and website Listen to Cory's Podcast: Practicing Human ABC Model/Martin Seligman mentioned in show Dr. Jud Brewer's book: The Craving Mind mentioned (smoking cessation example) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2 Ways to Give Back to the Show               ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Don't Miss an Episode: Subscribe!                                 

This is an episode of Crush It Mondays.  Each week, I'll bring to you an inspiring message, habit, or contemplation to get your week off to a powerful start.  In this week's episode, I want to talk about will power. What is willpower?  It's another word for self-control.  How many times have you blamed lack of willpower for failing to change a habit?  Don't worry, it's natural and all of us do it.  There's a reason why x% of New Year's Resolutions fail and why it's so hard to make habits stick.  We say "I won't do this thing anymore" or "I will do this other thing every day." We stick to it for a while, and then the wheels fall off.  It's not that our intention isn't there- we truly want to do those things.  So why can't we stick to it? It turns out relying on willpower alone does not work.  The topic of willpower has been a focus of numerous scientific studies over the last several years.  Are there areas of the brain responsible for willpower?  Why do some people seem to have more willpower than others?  How do we have more self-control? There are a few different schools of research that I wanted to share with you.  Addiction has been a driver of some of these studies to help people make lasting change.  There are a few books I want to recommend if you're interested in the science behind the topic of will power.  Pick up The Willpower Instinct by Kelly McGonigal PhD and also The Craving Mind by Jud Brewer. Based on the findings from these books and other studies I read, what can you do to set yourself up for success?  According to a 2012 study by the American Psychological Association, the main habits people are always trying to improve upon are eating healthier, exercising regularly, lose weight, reduce stress, and get more sleep. Interestingly enough, a few of those goals will intrinsically increase your willpower. Stress and sleep deprivation decrease willpower. It's kind of a chicken or egg scenario since people would argue it takes willpower to go to bed earlier or to take action to reduce stress.  But if you can understand that reducing stress and sleeping more will give you more self-control, it might help you make it a priority.  Why do stress and sleep deprivation reduce willpower? Well, it turns out that will power mostly lives in the prefrontal cortex of the brain.  It controls some of our emotions, what we pay attention to, and the subject of our thoughts. The prefrontal cortex is broken up into three sections according to Dr McGonigal's book.  There's a section for "I won't", a section for "I will" and a section for "I want."  I won't eat the dessert.  I will get up early to do my workout.  I want keeps track of your goals. The prefrontal cortex is the first region of the brain that goes offline when we're stressed.  Guess what happens? You lose your willpower.  Sleep deprivation is another problem.  It reduces brain activity because it's actually harder for your brain to absorb glucose when it's sleep-deprived.  Yes, you actually are in a fog!  Aim to reduce stress and get more sleep and you might find that you have more willpower. Suppressing thoughts weakens willpower.  So does guilt. You've heard of the experiment- don't think of a pink elephant... and then that's all you can think about.  Well, think about when you want that cookie. You tell yourself, "don't think of the cookie!" The more we resist temptation, the more it persists...and then your willpower goes out the window.  Basically, try not to suppress your thoughts and keep listening for what to do instead.  Guilt-tripping yourself has also been found to make your willpower issues worse.  It might sound counterintuitive to let yourself off the hook, but studies have shown that self-compassion around breaking a habit help you get back on track rhater than chastising and berating yourself.  When you make a mistake, think encouragement over criticism.  Practice forgiveness when you fail and you'll be more likely to succeed. Get curious about your cravings. Dr. Judson Brewer is another pioneer in the field of willpower and change.  Check out his book, The Craving Mind.  He advises getting curious about our cravings.  First, notice the urge, get curious about the urge- why is it there, what does it look like, what does it feel like, what is it there?  And then- feel joy of letting it go. Of course, this assumes a level of self-awareness so that you're able to pause between cue for the craving and response.  When you notice the cue, ask yourself what's it going to feel like if you don't make this change or if you don't do the thing versus if you do make this change.  Just thinking about it consciously will take away some of its power. Curiosity is also a way to increase mindfulness about your craving.  You can watch Dr. Brewer's TED Talk in the show notes.  He gives an example of smoking.  There's a group trying to quit smoking.  Instead of saying, "Don't smoke the cigarette," he tells them to smoke the cigarette.  While smoking the cigarette, think about how the smoke feels, how it tastes, etc.  By practicing mindful smoking, some people realized how gross it was and drastically reduced the amount of cigarettes they were smoking leading to cessation. Number 4 won't be a surprise. Here it is: meditate 5-10 minutes a day! The default mode network in the brain is the busy part that chatters away. It is the neurological basis for the self, thoughts of others and thoughts of past and future.  It also can distract you.  Meditation greatly reduces activity in the default mode network both during meditation and even when you're not meditating.  The result is much better focus and you got it - better self-control too.  If you want to learn more about the science of meditation and its effects on the brain, make sure you listen to the episode I recorded with cognitive neuroscientist, Dr. David Vago. I put a link in the show notes for you.  Meditation and mindfulness are probably the top way to boost your willpower. Delay gratification.  This one is something I started doing earlier this year.  Instead of saying I can't have the pizza, I tell myself I need to eat something healthy first like a bean stew or a salad and if I still want the pizza, I can have it.   Rarely do I reach for the pizza if I do it this way.  Another thing you can do is just say, "I can have the cookie, but I have to wait 20 minutes." Hack your environment.  This works for the I won'ts and the I wills.  Try to make the I won'ts difficult.  Here's an example. Instead of keeping beer in the fridge where it's easy to get at, I have it locked in the crawl space under my house...and it's not cold. So if I want a beer, I have to get the key out, go downstairs, get the beer, put it in the fridge or freezer to chill it and then I can have it. It's another way of delaying gratification.  A lot of the time, making it hard makes me not want the beer. You can also use this trick for the "I wills."  A friend of mine leaves a kettlebell and foam roller in the middle of the room so he'll do a few exercises if he sees it.   We leave all of our musical instruments in plain view in the living room to encourage playing them.  My husband wakes up at 6AM to ride the trainer every morning. He gets all of his bike clothes out the night before to make it easier.  Meal planning is another example - if you make food in advance and it is waiting for you in the fridge, it's easier to eat healthily. The same goes for leaving bowls of fruit out so when you want a quick snack, it's there. Eat a minimally processed food, plant-based diet.   This was something I wasn't expecting to see during my research of this topic. Dr. Kelly McGonigal has mentioned this many times in her talks. I tried to find the study that supports it, but I haven't yet. I emailed her about it and I hope I can share more about it with you.  I do trust her recommendations as a health psychologist and look forward to learning more about it. I linked to her keynote at Google where she mentions this.  I'm guessing that her findings had to do with increased blood flow to the brain, better glucose regulation and therefore, better functioning of the prefrontal cortex but this is just my hypothesis. Give these techniques a try and let me know how it goes!  If you want to go deeper, check out the show notes at sonyalooney.com/podcasts for links to studies, books, and the talks I referenced.

Jud Brewer is Director of Research and Innovation at the Mindfulness Center at Brown University, and a second-time guest on Plant Yourself. When we first talked, two years ago, Jud had just published his groundbreaking book, The Craving Mind, and was in the process of releasing mindfulness apps, Eat Right Now (for dealing with food cravings),  Craving to Quit (for smoking cessation), and Unwinding Anxiety (for, you guessed it, anxiety). I wanted to catch up with Jud to find out how his academic research and public writing had migrated into the world. What is the state of mindfulness-based health improvement? Does he have data on how his approach compares to current best practices, like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for smoking and other addictions?

Join Andrew and Dr. Judson Brewer as they take a close look at the nuts-and-bolts of addiction, and how it relates to non-lucidity. Judson shares the recent work of his lab, and the neuroscience that helps us understand how we get hooked into virtually anything, including our dreams. We're addicted to thinking, to distraction, to ourselves, to technology, even to love. The conversation moves to a look at the swept up continuum, a scientific description of how we get sucked into things (including non-lucid dreams), and how to pull ourselves out. In addition to the famous default mode network, Dr. Brewer discusses other parts of the brain that play an active part in our craving, and how meditation plays a leading role in transforming craving and addiction. Awareness practices hit the “pause button” in the machinery of addiction, and can radically transform previously intractable cravings. Using tenets talked about by the Buddha, the discussion turns to how ancient teachings (like the 12 links of dependent origination) have modern applications. Learn how ignorance in the past expresses itself as craving in the present – how craving is “applied ignorance.” Judson says that “Willpower is more myth than muscle,” and that one of the best ways to work with any form of addiction is to first relate to it, and to discover that the best way out of craving is to go into it. Dr. Brewer is a rare scientist who joins the best of the West with the best of the East, augmenting the discoveries of the wisdom traditions with contemporary science. — Jud Brewer MD PhD is a thought leader in the field of habit change and the “science of self-mastery”, having combined over 20 years of experience with mindfulness training with his scientific research therein.

My guest is Heidi Crockett. She is a highly qualified sexual health educator and speaker on stress and sex. She is also the author of The Neuroscience of Dating and Caregiver Stress: Neurobiology to the Rescue. In addition, Heidi is a licensed psychotherapist and studied sexual health postgraduate at the University of Michigan. In this episode, Heidi takes on through the wide world of neuroscience, mindfulness, and sexuality. Some of the subject matter she talks about may sound technical, but Heidi explains it a clear and compelling way. Listen in and learn a ton about relational neuroscience, meditation, and even dating! Yes Brain in the Bedroom – it's Relational Neuroscience It's technically called interpersonal neurobiology, but because that's even more of a mouthful than relational neuroscience, the latter wins out for this episode! It's an interdisciplinary science, meaning that it spans across multiple scientific disciplines and schools of thought into an eclectic field. And at the heart of it is called ‘integration'. This means that a combination of differentiation and linkage lead to integration. In other words, if while listening to this episode, you actively start to notice your breath while you are listening to Heidi speak, you are differentiating her words from your internal experience. This is called ‘sifting'. Moving beyond this, once you move back to Heidi's words and understand new terms she introduces, you can link back up within the context that she frames. For more on this and a breakdown of relational neuroscience, including how our brain relates to its outside environment, listen in! Heidi does a great job of explaining the science in a digestible way. Examples of Low and High Integration Using addiction as a framework for explaining the varying levels of integration, Heidi explains that low integration has more to do with someone who is reactive and impulsive. And by reactive, this means that they function on a trigger-action-reward basis as underlined by Judson Brewer in his book, The Craving Mind. High integration, on the other hand, has more to do with inhibiting those reactive and impulsive behaviors. So in the context of the bedroom, it is much easier to go on autopilot, as Heidi states. This means on average we all tend to be low integration in the bedroom, instead of inhibiting the trigger-action-reward state and work towards high integration practices. Much more within! The Power of Meditation Heidi says that the secret sauce for good sex has to do with kindness and compassion for others. She mentions Daniel Siegel's book Aware as an inspiration for the power of meditation and the three pillars of awareness that he talks about; but she also mentions that meditation quiets down the Default Mode Network in the brain. The Default Mode Network has to do with the “I” part of the brain that is on in the background, and which we can usually relate to autopilot types of thinking. It is the baseline mode of consciousness. Meditation can quiet the DFN and lead to more awareness, which in turn leads to a present awareness in the bedroom! This is just a small portion of what Heidi talks about though. Check it out! How This All Applies to Sex When considering meditation and how this relates to differentiation, linkage, and integration, there are a number of exercises that can be utilized for better sex using these principles. For those who may feel pressured to perform, where touch escalates and the pressures of performance can lead to anxiety or a sudden lack of desire, mindfulness can help in a real way. When talking about a couple and each of their own unique means of arousal, Heidi says that the goal is to differentiate what turns each person on. A couple wants to be comfortable with their desire and ability to become aroused, independent of one another. The end goal is then to link those differentiated desires together, which will lead to high integration. Heidi also talks about seeing the world through the prefrontal cortex instead of the limbic system and why this is important to consider. Heidi Talks About Her Book: The Neuroscience of Dating Heidi uses her book to point out the concept of couple enlightenment. This means that during high integration, the couple is unified. This means the couple is highly differentiated from the rest of the world and then highly linked with each other. She shares what she calls the 2 protective principles for dating. They are: “Don't make yourself financially vulnerable,” and “don't make yourself sexually vulnerable.” So, determining your principles is important, and then using those as a metric for potential long-term partners is the right way to assure you won't be wasting each other's time in the long run. In addition to this, Heidi reminds that we need to maintain executive function during dating. Letting the reptilian brain win out is a recipe for disaster.
