⭐️ OUT NOW: Sarah McKay | Neuroscience, Managing Tech Consumption & Digital Overload ⭐ Neuroscientist and science communicator Sarah McKay examines the impact of digital overload on mental health. Our evolutionary history has not prepared us to manage the relentless influx of information from technology — a fundamental mismatch that can deteriorate mental wellbeing. Sarah discusses how the brain responds to the constant barrage from a neuroscience perspective and the potential mental health risks associated with excessive tech consumption. You’ll hear neuroscience-backed solutions to mitigate these risks and understand how our brains' response to digital stimuli can help to drive improvements in daily life. Sarah also shares insights on dealing with grief, applying neuroscience principles to managing stress, promoting wellbeing, and focusing on controllables during uncertain times.

The application of this theory with my clients and my own journey has been a game changer.

"Overwhelm and focus in the brain can not co-exist. These are different circuits." In this episode of Relationships at Work, Russel chats with researcher and work stress and burnout prevention consultant Nina Nesdoly on how understanding neuroscience is the key to addressing stress and burnout.

“Overwhelm and focus cannot coexist in the brain." 🧠 When we're overwhelmed, our brains go into "fight or flight" mode. This heightened alertness makes it nearly impossible to focus. The amygdala, responsible for our emotional responses, hijacks our prefrontal cortex, which handles decision-making and focus. In simpler terms, overwhelm prioritizes survival over focus. Intentional rest and workload management can help combat this. 🌿 I recently sat down with Russel Lolacher on the "Relationships at Work" podcast to discuss the neuroscience of stress management and its impact on our work. We explored practical strategies to manage overwhelm and improve focus. Curious to learn more?

The hidden costs of bullying - a neuroscientific perspective with Soraya Shaw MSc 🎙️”What may hurt somebody, or what somebody may find unacceptable, might not even bother me. We’re all very subjective in that way. Coming from a neuroscience point of view, it's the damage that we know that bullying does to the brain. 🧠 However it manifests itself, there is serious damage that’s actually going on. It’s not like you hurt your leg and you can see that it’s sore. When our brain is damaged, nobody else really sees it''. Full episode here: ➡️https://shorturl.at/4BZKR ➡️ https://lnkd.in/dxw23qcr

Discovering the path to a balanced brain is a journey explored by Camilla Nord in this episode. She not only addresses this goal but also delves into insights from her new book, "THE BALANCED BRAIN: THE SCIENCE OF MENTAL HEALTH." The book explores several scientific developments that are revolutionizing the way we think about mental health, showing why and how events—and treatments—can affect people in such different ways.

Happy Friday! A quick read and thoughts for the weekend: "Maybe you can sit in an ice bath, but can you sit in the discomfort of your inner world? How long can you tolerate being present with the feelings you avoid or compartmentalize?" This is powerful stuff that applies not just to men, but everyone. A common phrase, "get comfortable being uncomfortable" is so important to remember in all aspects of our lives. Taking on more responsibility is uncomfortable, increasing your accountability is uncomfortable, pushing yourself beyond your mental and physical limits is uncomfortable. The more we do these uncomfortable things, the more we learn about ourselves and our capacity for personal growth. This measures our discipline, our commitment level, and exposes our strengths and weaknesses. Have a great weekend! #introspection #psychology #neuroscience #discipline #commitment #selfdiscovery #personalgrowth #personaldevelopment #lifestyle #mentalhealth #menshealth #mentalstrength #accountability #responsibility

Infobesity: how to survive in the era of the information tsunami? Information is everywhere. It floods us, overwhelms us. And our brain, in all this? It is saturated, incapable of processing everything, of assimilating everything. It's infobesity, a 21st century disease that harms our mental health and our ability to make informed decisions. Do you know “Brain Fog”? It’s like having your mind in a fog! Everyone knows what it is, right?! By taking control of our information consumption, we can preserve our mental health and our ability to think for ourselves. NeuEra gives you some simple bodyhacking tips to tackle this problem head on: • Set limits on your exposure to information and take breaks. • Choose reliable and relevant sources. • Consume information intelligently and efficiently by developing your critical thinking. • Make sure you always feel nourished by this information. • Vary your sources of information by reading books, in-depth articles, listening to podcasts and watching documentaries Find all our podcasts here to listen to at normal or accelerated speed: https://lnkd.in/eZUCJZvV #neuera #integrativemedicine #ai #mentalhealth #brain #bodyhacking #criticalmind #reliability #podcasttips #diversity #podcasts #onlinetraining #training #englishpodcast #naturalhealth #physicalhealth #neuroscience #news
