Burnout is both an individual and a systemic problem.

Dr. Jud Brewer (neuroscientist, NYT bestselling author, Director of Research and Innovation at Brown University's Mindfulness Center, executive medical director at Sharecare Inc.) brings so much wisdom to the Anxiety Lab. He shares his breakthrough approach to tackling anxiety using mindfulness. We talk about treating anxiety like a habit, a better way to change behavior than “I should,” mindful eating, having imaginary conversations with people in our heads, and not being able to stop worrying about something stupid even when we know it's something stupid. We also get pretty granular about planning anxiety. You can find Dr. Jud at drjud.com, on IG (dr.jud) and twitter (judbrewer), and his incredible book is called Unwinding Anxiety.

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.

Anxiety, even saying the word makes me a bit anxious. But, what if there was a way to unwind it and come back to calm that was counterintuitively simple. And, what if a lot of the popular thoughts around anxiety and how to deal with it today were wrong? That's what we're talking about today with my guest, Dr. Jud Brewer. He's a New York Times best-selling author, neuroscientist, addiction psychiatrist, and thought leader in the field of habit change. Jud is also the director of research and innovation at Brown University's Mindfulness Center, where he serves as an associate professor of Behavioral and Social Sciences in the School of Public Health. He is the executive medical director of behavioral health at Sharecare Inc. and a research affiliate at MIT.

Do you feel like you keep on doing more, but are never doing enough? Do you feel guilt when you take time off? The struggle of productivity anxiety is common in our achievement and productivity focused society. In today's episode of Your Life in Process, join Dr. Diana Hill and frequent contributor Dr. Judson Brewer as they discuss focusing on enjoying the journey of life rather than the outcome.

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.)

Are you a little angrier, irritable or quick to lash out these days? Anger is a challenging emotion. And according to Dr. Jud, it can become a habit. What is fueling your anger and how can you break the habit loop of resentment? What can we learn from behavioral neuroscience and ancient wisdom to respond differently when we're triggered? Listen to today's episode to learn how to turn your anger into compassionate action.

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!

Have you grabbed your free e-book, "Alcohol Truths: How Much is Safe?" Get it here.  Low risk drinking guidelines from the NIAAA: Healthy men under 65: No more than 4 drinks in one day and no more than 14 drinks per week. Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older: No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week. One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink. Abstinence from alcohol Abstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past. Benefits of “low-risk” drinking Following these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work. This week on the podcast I'm talking with Dr. Jud Brewer.  Dr. Jud Brewer is a New York Times best-selling author, neuroscientist, addiction psychiatrist, and thought leader in the field of habit change. He is the Director of Research and Innovation at Brown University's Mindfulness Center, where he also serves as an associate professor. He is the executive medical director at Sharecare Inc. and a research affiliate at MIT. Dr. Jud has developed and tested novel mindfulness programs for habit change, including treatments for smoking, emotional eating, and anxiety.  We are talking all about his newest book: Unwinding Anxiety: New Science Shows How to Break the Cycles of Worry and Fear to Heal Your Mind. Dr. Jud's  new approach to anxiety focuses on how anxiety itself becomes a habit. From his own personal experience in medical school as well as his history of treating patients, he came to realize that the same mindfulness techniques that he was successfully applying to smoking and emotinal eating could be applied to anxiety itself (something that was often at the root of the addictive behaviors.)  You can learn about all resources mentioned and apps at Dr. Brewer's website here:   Dr. Jud

Anxiety is a normal and necessary component of the human experience; however, under some circumstances normal psychological processes related to anxiety can unwittingly become entrenched in "habit loops" that can keep an individual stuck.  New York Times best-selling author, neuroscientist, addiction psychiatrist, and thought leader in the field of habit change, Dr. Jud Brewer, joins us for a fascinating discussion of his novel model of anxiety as described in his new book  "Unwinding Anxiety: New Science Shows How to Break the Cycles of Worry and Fear to Heal Your Mind”.  This discussion includes a consideration of:  the evolutionary value of emotions and Dr. Brewer's perspective on when and how normally adaptive anxiety can evolve into a self-defeating habit  the mechanism by which anxiety and associated cognitive processes & behaviours can unwittingly turn into bad habitsa consideration of whether rates of anxiety are actually rising and features of our modern lifestyle that could be contributing to such a trendthe value and utility in tolerating uncertaintyan in-depth review of Dr. Brewer's model for understanding and treating anxiety including conceptualizing anxiety as a habit loop as well as leveraging awareness to allow individuals to become attuned to the actual vs. predicted awards of engaging in anxiety habit loopsthe addiction-like dynamics surrounding the cognitive & behavioural experience of anxiety (e.g.,  “wanting” vs. “liking”)why willpower, substitution, stimulus control & environmental manipulation are strategies that are oversold with respect to their ability to affect changethe importance of finding the "bigger, better offer" to derail anxious habit loops & why Dr. Brewer feels mindfulness, curiosity & kindness are critical in this respecta brief consideration of how his model dovetails with traditional CBT Dr. Jud Brewer is a New York Times best-selling author, neuroscientist, addiction psychiatrist, and thought leader in the field of habit change.
