On Today's Episode:

There are very strategic things you can start doing today to be more productive, feel more accomplished, and
This episode is packed with neuroscience experts that have studied the brain and human behavior in a way that can absolutely change your life.
You get to decide the meaning you assign to the things you do and the experiences you have. This has a greater impact on your productivity and ability to stay motivated and your lack of willingness to keep on task.
In this episode experts like Andrew Huberman, Moran Cerf, David Eagleman, and Moriel Zelikowsky reveal:
How to become the master of your productivity and move with intention
The best ways to master your willpower
How the most successful people hack their brain and behavior to keep winning
What you need to know to destroy stress and anxiety
QUOTES:
“Agitation and stress were designed to get us up and move us and when we try to fight that too much and we try to quiet that stress that actually can be problematic. You have to decide, are you going to try to quiet stress or are you going to actually lean into action, that’s a critical choice point for anybody.” - Andrew Huberman
“The mistake I made wasn’t to say something was possible and it was not, it was to say that something was impossible before I knew this.” -Moran Cerf
You ask me how to change behavior, this is how, to know what the possibilities are.” -Moran Cerf
“The way learning works in the brain is everything builds on what you already know.” -David Eagleman

The smile that flashed across Tom's face at 29:39 - i felt that - and smiled myself... why? because here Huberman is dropping the BEST most succinct description of the significance of the diaphragm muscle i've ever heard... and as a Yoga Therapist, i've heard a few! We know these benefits of diaphragmatic breathing, and i'm delighted to hear that Huberman's lab is bringing his brilliance to study it. Pay attention folks - never underestimate the importance of breathwork - and just pause for a moment to appreciate that the ancient yogis were practicing this stuff long long ago.

[@estate0007]

Yeah, I felt the same, this is gold! I will save this snippet and rewatch it at least once a week!

[@defaultHandle1110]

Yeah much of this happens in prayer, when filled with the Holy Spirit. It’s a neurological communication protocol from God, there’s suppression and buildup of neural links when you pray. This is a natural, rather super natural grace to do these things without knowing about them. Eg. The eye movements etc, much of this happens in prayer to the next level.

It doesn’t matter what the beginning of your story is like. The pages before you are blank. You are the one who gets to decide what is written. It is a story you will constantly revisit as you shape your path. You will discover interests hidden around the next corner, or the next. So keep going. Tumble into this realm as often as you like. Write your story. Start where you are. And change the ending.

What you're saying about forward movement reminds me of something i was thinking about the other day... I think there may be a muscle connected to the circuitry you speak of (probably the muscles on the very top of your skull). I was associating it with anger, but youre right, it might just be that forward drive when stressed. I feel like certain facial expressions are tied to this and to injuries as well.

[@mclhck674]

Andrew is the best 🙌🙌

[@In-Visions]

thanks again !!

[@shilolawrence5246]

Wow!! Is Andrew Huberman a genius?? My experience with the lateral eye movements was accidental and really worked! I had just exited a traumatic narcissistic relationship and my mind, emotions, everything was a mess! I stumbled unto hz frequency sounds that I would listen to at night, one was particularly for healing from trauma and stress. I noticed the sounds would bounce from one side of my brain to the other causing my eyes to shift from side to side like I was wiping the chalk board of my mind clean! It felt like I was as erasing all the negative memories, programming and such and it gave me a sense of healing, relaxation, safety and hope and I could rest peacefully. I felt like each day I had a new clean slate, although I kept repeating this process in the evening because I do believe that true healing takes time. To this day I am completely unaffected by the traumas of that relationship. This was about 4 years ago.

[@scoobydadog246]

Fascinating. Happy to hear that for you. What was the frequency of sound?

Lean into movement is great. If one has not been moving for an extend period of time, the issue is...moving feels terrible. There might been pain because of dysbalances. So the challenge...build up the body again to actually be able to turn agitation into movement...

Interesting conversation on the spanking subject. You should invite me on your show. I have a lot to say around that. As for education - I have very little education. I relate. I went to a moderate learning difficulty school due to behavior and unable to read and write. I have had issues for years, lots of therapy. Been in a lack of love and violent environment. I've had a lot of hardships, but all the negatives are breakthroughs for me - it has led me to be mentally powerful today. I'm currently 37. I won't stop. And I want to help the world. I want publicly speak and have my voice heard. I acknowledge my fears around stepping out of my own limitations.

I watch the vast majority of these Tom Bilyeu interviews; they are fascinating and great for self improvement. Question: one of the neuroscientists mentioned there are specific neurons that control yawning, sneezing, and coughing. There are corresponding breathing techniques, such as breathing in 2 short breaths through the diaphragm and exhaling through the mouth that can induce yawning. Are there neurons that express anger, and what specific breathing techniques can be done to mitigate and control the anger impulse?

[@scoobydadog246]

He is referring to neurons that control those *reflexive* actions. Anger is an emotion and much more complex - not as simple as one set of neurons. The breathing techniques to calm you might be helpful acutely - but it would still be good to investigate the source of your anger. Some things should be just let go, but anger can also be something we need to pay attention to.

[@chrisbalke1]

What if someone has a positive experience associated to the stress response and then becomes addicted to stress? Would creating a negative association to stress balance it out?

[@phoenixrisin2269]

I have spoken to a foremost psychologist about this. This is a socially engineered problem with a division between all groups. People are trying not to expose themselves to this crossfire. The world is not safe now. You must re evaluate the level of risk you are ready 2:32:56 to assume. Today, to engage with other people is to risk your freedom, and very often your life.
