Day 10 – Wed. Sept. 3
I watched many an interesting interview from the Heart Mind Institute’s Mega- Summit: Rewiring Your Brain… 14 discussions / 8 days… out of the 71 total… it’s taken me a while to digest… What I understand is that neuroscience is substantiating what meditation and mindfulness practitioners have been saying for years/eons… and it really all comes down to the main basic things one needs to live an optimal life (longevity and healthy).
E.g., Stephen Kotler recommends…
Daily:
(also: eat nutritionally well, sleep 7-9 hours/night, drink water)
If you want to rock until you drop, you have to REGULARLY ENGAGE in CHALLENGING, SOCIAL and CREATIVE activities that demand DYNAMIC, deliberate PLAY that take place in NOVEL, OUTDOOR environments. Easy peasy? You have to intentionally choose to do these things in a society that makes it easy to not choose these things.
(Dynamic means all 5 categories of functional fitness:
1. stamina/cardio
2. strength
3. flexibility
4. balance
5. agility
And that explains Pickle Ball!)
And then I watched many interviews from the Meditation Summit… and many of the different methods/beliefs/ways into KNOWING are seemingly different names for the same outcome… now I’m stressed out about all this freakin’ Wellness I’m supposed to fit into my life!
E.g., Stephen Kotler recommends…
Daily:
- 5 min gratitude
- 10-12 min mindfulness (meditation, breathwork, tapping, etc.,)
- 30-40 min exercise
