Never in the history of being told to calm down has anyone actually calmed down. After nearly a decade as a clinical nutritionist and coach, Mandy knows two things to be true — stress has a far bigger impact on your physical health than most people want to admit, and simply telling someone to stress less doesn't work. In this video, she breaks down the two approaches that actually make a real difference in managing the unavoidable nature of stress and reducing its impact on your body, your health markers and your results. If stress keeps coming up as the thing getting in the way, this one is worth your time._______________________________________________________________________
Whether you've reached work or study burnout, you're going through relationship dramas, or you just feel weighed down by life in general, stress is something that's difficult to avoid. If only there were an easy and free way to alleviate it. Luckily, there is! Breathwork. Breathing is the first and last thing we do on this planet, and it's the simplest way we can alleviate stress and anxiety both immediately and long-term, when done properly. So, how can we reap the benefits?无论您是否已达到工作或学习倦怠、是否正在经历人际关系戏剧，或者您只是感到生活的压力，压力都是难以避免的。 如果有一种简单且免费的方法来缓解它就好了。 幸运的是，有！ 呼吸。 呼吸是我们在这个星球上做的第一件事也是最后一件事，如果做得正确，这是我们可以立即和长期缓解压力和焦虑的最简单方法。 那么，我们怎样才能获得好处呢？It's about slowing down. "We all tend to hyperventilate, breathing too fast and not very effectively," says David Spiegel, professor of psychiatry and behavioural sciences at Stanford University in the US. One way to make our breathing more intentional is a technique called 'cyclic sighing', with a focus on prolonged exhalation. Begin with a deep inhale through your nose. Just when you think you're done, take a short, sharp breath to fully fill the lungs. Then, let out a slow and extended sigh to completely empty your lungs. A 2023 study published in PubMed by Spiegel and colleagues found that just five minutes a day of cyclic sighing improved mood and lowered anxiety.这是关于放慢速度。 美国斯坦福大学精神病学和行为科学教授大卫·斯皮格尔说：“我们都容易换气过度，呼吸太快而且效率不高。” 让我们的呼吸更有意识的一种方法是一种称为“循环叹息”的技术，其重点是延长呼气。 首先通过鼻子深吸气。 当您认为自己已经完成时，进行短促的呼吸，让肺部充满空气。 然后，缓慢而长久地叹一口气，将肺部完全排空。 Spiegel 及其同事于 2023 年在 PubMed 上发表的一项研究发现，每天只需五分钟的周期性叹息即可改善情绪并降低焦虑。For a more advanced method, try 'coherent breathing'. To do this, you want to find a comfortable position, with one hand on your belly, and the other on your chest. Inhale through your nose for about six seconds, making the hand on your belly rise by engaging your diaphragm. Then exhale for the same duration. The key is to keep your breath smooth and continuous. "Imagine your breath as a slow tide coming in and going out," says Guy Fincham, who leads a breathwork research lab at Brighton and Sussex Medical School in the UK. The A52 breath method is similar, except at the end of the exhalation, you hold your breath for a couple of seconds before breathing in again.对于更高级的方法，请尝试“连贯呼吸”。 为此，您需要找到一个舒适的位置，一只手放在腹部，另一只手放在胸部。 通过鼻子吸气约六秒钟，通过接触隔膜使放在腹部的手抬起。 然后呼气同样的时间。 关键是保持呼吸顺畅、连续。 英国布莱顿和苏塞克斯医学院呼吸研究实验室的负责人盖伊·芬查姆（Guy Fincham）说：“把你的呼吸想象成缓慢进出的潮水。” A52 呼吸方法类似，只是在呼气结束时屏住呼吸几秒钟，然后再吸气。Slowing down our breathing works because it relaxes the sympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for the 'fight-or-flight' response and activates the parasympathetic nervous system, responsible for the body's 'rest-and-digest' functions. This calms the body. So, whenever you start to feel overwhelmed, remember that you have this easy and instant stress-reliever in your toolkit.放慢呼吸之所以有效，是因为它可以放松负责“战斗或逃跑”反应的交感神经系统，并激活负责身体“休息和消化”功能的副交感神经系统。 这可以使身体平静。 因此，每当您开始感到不知所措时，请记住您的工具箱中有这种简单且即时的缓解压力的方法。

Every time you've gotten lost in a book, zoned out on a drive, or cried at a movie you've already seen, you're in a special neurological state. And it turns out, that state is one of the most powerful things your nervous system can access. Most of us have just never thought to use it intentionally.That state is hypnosis. Stanford psychiatrist Dr. David Spiegel has spent 45 years researching exactly what it does in the brain and how to use it on demand for stress, pain, anxiety, and sleep.He teaches us a 60-second induction you can use anywhere, explains why your brain has its own internal pharmacy for anxiety relief (no prescription needed), and makes the case for why self-compassion is more neurologically effective for change than self-criticism.This conversation will change how you see what your nervous system is actually capable of.What You'll LearnWhat's actually happening in your brain during hypnosis, including why it turns down your stress response and increases your ability to feel and manage your bodyWhy calming the body first makes you dramatically better at handling whatever the stressor actually isHow your brain naturally produces the same compound that anti-anxiety medications target, and how to access it without a prescriptionWhy self-criticism is neurologically ineffective for change and what the research says works insteadHow to do a basic hypnotic induction in under 60 secondsReveri Self-Hypnosis App: www.reveri.com Use code HighCapacity for a 20% discount!-->>> Register for The Capacity Audit free live workshop June 3rd

Many of us know firsthand that the responsibility and effort needed to manage our money can be overwhelming. Oftentimes, the struggle arises with aging or after the loss of a spouse. Busy professionals and families also can have trouble keeping track of financial obligations. And, in today's economy, many young people need help creating budgets and tracking scarce financial resources. As a result, a valuable service industry has emerged to provide the knowledge, trust, and time needed to pay bills, organize documents, and engage other financial and legal professionals.

All personal development coaches emphasise the importance of setting goals, even ones that may seem out of reach at first. Doing so not only boosts motivation but also enables gradual achievement. Nowadays a lot of people find this kind of approach almost second nature, but others struggle with it. A fear of failure, workplace anxiety, and a lack of self-confidence can make ambition seem unattainable. What does the S.M.A.R.T. acronym stand for then? But is goal-setting actually an effective approach? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions! To listen to the last episodes, you can click here: Is the gut really our "second brain"?

What if the answer to your stress…isn't doing more—but learning how to slow down?In this episode of the Walk In Victory Podcast, NaRon Tillman sits down with Veronique Ory to explore how movement, breath, and awareness can restore balance in a world built on constant motion.For many, stress shows up as tension, burnout, or disconnection—but rarely do people realize that it often begins with something as simple as not breathing properly.Through personal experience and practice, Veronique shares how yoga became more than physical movement—it became a pathway to clarity, creativity, and emotional regulation. Together, they unpack:• Why most people are operating in constant stress without realizing it• How breath directly impacts the nervous system and decision-making• The difference between movement for performance vs movement for healing• Why small, consistent movements create long-term change• How environment (nature, noise, stillness) shapes mental clarity• The importance of finding your own rhythm instead of following rigid systems• How slowing down can actually increase productivity and creativity• Why healing begins internally before it shows externallyThis is not about yoga poses.It's about awareness.Because when you learn how to regulate your breath…you begin to regulate your life.

Summary In this episode, Andy talks with Amy Leneker, leadership coach, joy strategist, and author of Cheers to Monday. Amy's journey began with a burnout so severe that her doctor put her on medical leave. It took 10 words on a medical form to change everything: "What are your hobbies? What do you do for fun?" She couldn't answer it. That moment sent her on a mission to help leaders recognize stress earlier and respond to it far more intentionally. In this conversation, Amy shares the stress stories many leaders carry without ever questioning them, and why those stories get quietly rewarded in so many organizations. You'll hear how the body whispers warnings long before burnout hits, why most common stress-relief advice actually makes things worse, and how Amy's three-step Un-Stressing Method gives leaders a clear, practical framework to move forward. She also shares a powerful real-world example of a team carrying 73 stressors that simply didn't need to be there—and what happened when they finally saw that. If you're looking for a practical, empowering guide to break the cycle of stress and overwhelm in leadership, this episode is for you! Sound Bites "The story that I inherited, either intentionally or unintentionally, was you just work hard because that's the only choice you have." "I think one of the biggest mistakes that I made was not recognizing how much choice I had." "I couldn't remember the last time that I had real fun." "Those unhealthy stress stories are rewarded." "The majority of ways that we try to manage stress at work actually increase our stress." "When I ignored the whispers, it got to the point where ignoring it was no longer an option.... If you ignore them long enough, then the body's going to scream." "Talking about stress is stressful, but we've got to be able to see it if we're going to be able to do anything about it." "Unclear expectations are resentments waiting to happen." "People pleasing—it's not a healthy dynamic. It's not something that serves you or the people around you." "Stress is contagious.

In this episode, we look at stress not just as an external pressure, but more as a nervous system response—something shaped by perception, emotion, energy, and capacity.To help unpack all of this, we're joined by Dr. Anissa Cordova, PhD, a psychotherapist and resilience coach specializing in stress regulation and emotional wellbeing. She's been a colleague in our clinic for the past year, and her work beautifully weaves together health psychology, HeartMath research, and nearly 30 years of meditation practice.Dr. Cordova's approach centers on something really important—but often overlooked—the heart–brain connection, and how it influences resilience, clarity, and emotional regulation. And honestly, what makes her perspective so valuable is that it's not just theoretical. It's super practical, deeply compassionate, and focused on tools people can actually use in everyday life.In this episode, we explore:Stress: Understanding How the Nervous System RespondsResilience: Building Capacity and RecoveryHow to Stabilize Your Nervous System and Manage Stress in Everyday LifeSimple Daily Practices to Support Your Nervous System and Stay GroundedWhy Managing Your Energy Matters More Than Avoiding StressShe shares simple, grounded tools to help you understand stress and calm your nervous system in real time—because while stress is universal, how you respond to it can change how life feels from the inside out.If this resonates, keep listening to hear the full conversation and start applying these tools right away.Connect with Dr. Anissa :Website: anissacordovaphd.comConnect with me:Instagram: doctorfrancavillaFacebook: Help Your Patients Lose Weight with Dr. FrancavillaWebsite: Dr. Francavilla ShowYoutube: The Doctor Francavilla ShowGLP Strong: glpstrong.com

In this episode, Ted sits down with land investing expert Mark Podolsky to discuss a little-known approach to building passive income through raw land.
