Great interview! Pheromones likely don't work well I humans, since the molecules seem not to reach the responsible and retarded organ from entering our noses. However, we seem to recognize components from our immune system,which tells us how alike the other one is. We seem to like people with dissimilar or maybe complementary immune system features - likely to improve the immune tool kit of our kids

Technically, I should not listen to your podcasts, since I rarely have the time to focus only on the interesting interviews. Even when walking outside I should not have ear plugs in most of the time 🤷‍♂️

I've noticed that every generation who is more "advanced" in technology has more neuropsychological problems then its precedent! It started with radios then tvs then videos games etc then to the worst social networks....or maybe the worst is yet to come with God knows what crazy inventions in this field are waiting for humanity..... Old generations as my grandparents have witnessed wars, poverty, hardship, severe upbringing by family, ultra discipline in schools etc but have never shown any sign of trauma, or dysfunctional behaviours...quite the opposite...all their generation was stronger then this of my parents and my parents then this of mine and mine then this of my children etc etc People were like walking rocks generally...I think humans have attained a level of emotional vulnerability never reached before

A massive and growing proportion of people are suffering high rates of stress with a related increase in many physical health issues as well.

I too worked in the non profit sector as a case manager/ coordinator. 12 years it really declined my health. Weight gain, stress, & depression; for very little pay. I quit & now work for USPS, yes I’m a mailman but I have no regrets. I have transformed myself into fat burning machine. I’ve gone from 245lbs to 171lbs. Along with lifting weights I have gained muscle which is important as one gets into their 40s & beyond. My mental health is also improved not completely but way better than what it was when I was a case manager. If you can’t help yourself how can you help others.

'A massive and growing proportion of people are suffering high rates of stress with a related increase in many physical health issues.....Sad times.'

I gave up Instagram, and Facebook in 2020. Never looked back. I don’t have any other social media and I probably won’t watch this whole video bc I already figured this out and don’t want to sit too long here ;-) Get out in nature. Meditation. Rest. Eat well, whole foods. Have a bath, without your phone. Paint, draw, write, create. Be present with yourself, friends, family. Love yourself. Learn a new self care modality. Try Emotion Code. Body Code. Acupressure. Try guided meditations. Try Transurfing.

This comment is spot on. I gave up every bit of social media except KZbin for educational purposes. My wife and I have a no phone rule after 6pm every day. We are trying to be more present with each other and our kids. So far so good. I don't miss Facebook or Instagram one bit.

[@healerchic]

@@jacinthachileshe4531 - those thoughts are coming from a wise place. Listen to them. You do not owe anyone but yourself anything. Give yourself the love and care you need. Your worth it. We all are. Take your power back. Life will go on beautifully and all will be well. Social media is a huge distraction and is just a 3D version of something much more advanced if we connect fully with our higher selves and consciousness. We are the Universe. Love is what creates. Everything we need comes from the ultimate ‘cloud’ storage system… the Universe. The social media stuff is distracting us from evolving, creating and loving.

I am a 73-year-old senior citizen/retired. I take care of my 78-year-old husband with increasing ADHD, cognitive decline and mobility decline as well my rescue dog that requires a lot of time and energy. I make it my PRIORITY to go to my senior center two days a week in order to prevent depression, stress and isolation. I try to stay in touch with friends and family. I do pretty well in the summer when the sun shines, and I can get outside and enjoy exercise, sunshine and fresh air. However, I live in Michigan, where we have 6-7 months of cold, high winds and snow which also combines to isolate us in our tiny condo. I also prioritize a monthly massage as an additional stress reducing technique. I diffuse lavender essential oil day and night as another way to relax my body. I eat a nutrient rich diet. Aging, health issues and financial issues are hard to manage but I do the best I can on a tight retirees budget.

I set routines I even do them strictly and then at the end of the day I feel like I haven't achieved anything and when I stop doing all those I feel burnt out.... This was really validating and helpful I am not gonna force my life into corporate hustle anymore. We as humans are not here to achieve everything everyone has. As much big our egos and THEIR dreams are our health in just as important. Let's live slowly, consistently and freely.

I remember being extremely calm and focused during, but after I got to safety suddenly felt terrified and trembling. I remember this when I have a lot of awful overwhelming things happening. We CAN get through it-- call upon your resourcefulness, be calm. Cry later.

I've got a PTSD after having been living under chronic stress for 1 year. When I quit my job the first 2 weeks seemed like the best time of my life - I even slept well (I quit because of insomnia). But then after 2 weeks the real damage kicked in and I started feeling the aftermath - I couldn't relax at all, haven't slept for 5 days and was afraid it will make me insane. It took me 1 year of visiting a psychiatrist to be able to fall asleep without medications again. I am still working on it because I only sleep for 3-4 hours per day but I've learned my lesson. Never ever work more than 40hours per week (even this schedule is stressful) and avoid night shifts at all costs. Especially is you are a highly sensitive person.

I left my job and went travelling. 3 months later I’ve only just realised how stressed I was. my periods had stopped and I would be constantly crying to and from work. Crying at work. Constantly calling my parents for support. It’s so nice to see an interview about stress that doesn’t just focus on the classic symptoms. I have nothing to really validate why I put myself through this expect for a good cv.

Someone needs to figure out a way to solve this crisis on scale. Whoever figures out the solution to this new societal-wide issue will not just save society, but will also become very wealthy. There needs to be a cost-effective, results-driven force that's sole purpose is to fix this issues with (too much technology, loneliness, depression/anxiety, social isolation, lack of social connection, etc etc) This is a major major societal issue.

♦️THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD " the last age in which God is saving man from the imminent destruction of this old world" (At the time Jesus worked in Judea, He worked openly, but now, I work and speak to you in secret. My work among you is closed to others. These words, these chastisements and judgments , is revealed only to you and not to others. These people will soon become perfect after enduring the chastisements, but those outside do not know about it. This work is too hidden! For them, the incarnation is hidden -man of God, but to those in this flow, He can be considered not a secret. The work that is currently being carried out in you and in China is tightly closed, so that they do not know. If they do find out, only judgment and persecution what they will do here. They will not believe it. To make the country a great red dragon, the most backward of places, is not an easy task. If this work is carried out openly, how will they allow it to advance? Can they bear the Does God exist? So My work cannot be seen, known or discovered by unbelievers. So, working stealthily in this way benefits both you and the business as a whole. Everyone will know that there is a group of winners in China; everyone will know that God incarnate is in China and that His work has come to an end. It appears that God is personally doing His work in China and has perfected a group of people as overcomers.) Almighty God said At the time Jesus worked in Judea, He worked openly, but now, I work and speak to you in secret. Unbelievers are completely unaware of this. My work with you is closed to others. These WORDS, these PUNISHMENTS and JUDGMENTS, are REVEALED ONLY to YOU and NOT to OTHERS. ALL this WORK is PERFORMED on YOU and REVEALED ONLY to YOU; NONE of the NON-BELIEVES KNOW this, BECAUSE the TIME has NOT YET COME. These PEOPLE are ABOUT to BECOME PERFECT after ENDURING the PUNISHMENTS, BUT those OUTSIDE do NOT KNOW ABOUT it. This work is too hidden! ☀️🙏 FOR THEM, the INCARNATION of GOD is HIDDEN, BUT to THOSE in this FLOW, He can be CONSIDERED NOT secret. ☀️ Although everything is open to God, everything is revealed and everything is revealed, this is only true for those who believe in Him, and nothing is revealed to those who do not believe. The work that is going on with you and in China is tightly closed, so that they don't know. 🙏 IF they KNEW ABOUT it, they WOULD ONLY JUDGE and PERSECUTE it. They won't believe it. ☀️ To MAKE the COUNTRY of the GREAT RED DRAGON, the MOST BACKWARD of PLACES, is NOT AN EASY THING to DO. IF this WORK is REVEALED, it WILL be IMPOSSIBLE to CONTINUE. This PHASE of the WORK SIMPLY CANNOT be PERFORMED in this AREA. IF this WORK were to be CARRIED OUT OPENLY, HOW would they ALLOW it to go FORWARD? 🙏 Wouldn't this bring even greater risk to the work? IF this WORK had NOT been HIDDEN, and INSTEAD had BEEN CARRIED out LIKE in the TIME of JESUS, WHEN He MIRACULOUSLY HEALED the SICK and CAST OUT DEMONS, WOULDN'T it have BEEN "locked up" by the DEMONS for a LONG TIME? ☀️🙏 CAN they TOLERATE the EXISTENCE of GOD? IF I were to ENTER the SYNAGOGUES NOW to PREACH and GIVE a SERMON to PEOPLE, WOULDN'T I have been CRUSHED LONG AGO? And if that happens, how can My work continue to be carried out? The reason why signs and wonders are not revealed openly is to cover up. SO My WORK CANNOT be SEEN, KNOWN or DISCOVERED by UNBELIEVERS. 🙏☀️ If this phase of work were to be done in the same way as Jesus' in the Age of Grace, it would not be as strong as it is today. So, working stealthily in this way benefits both you and the business as a whole. When GOD'S WORK on EARTH COME to the END, that is, when this secret WORK is FINISHED, this phase of WORK WILL BE REVEALED. EVERYONE KNOWS there is a group of WINNERS in CHINA; EVERYONE WILL KNOW that GOD INCARNATED is in CHINA and His WORK has COME to COMPLETION. Only then will it be clear to people: Why has China not yet shown a decline or collapse? It APPEARS that GOD is PERSONALLY DOING His WORK in CHINA and has PERFECTED a GROUP of PEOPLE as OVERCOMERS. 🙏 From "The Mystery of the Incarnation (2)" Fulfillment of "When I looked up, someone handed me a book wrapped in a scroll.

This is so interesting. I feel like I was born with an innate knowledge of myself and wisdom about being human. Despite of having been sexually abused as a child I never had struggles connecting to other people even after that I never really particularly had problems trusting people in general, I was a bit more cautious around men though. I always felt very deeply connected to planet earth and all beings. I always felt like I had somewhat of a healing presence, people usually seek my advice and feel seen in my presence. Social media numbs that, I have developed in a way that I questioned the connection of people, being exposed to so much hate and egoism on the internet. I feel the feeling of interconnection fading, hate is rising and less people allow themselves to open up. I feel humanity being in crisis and I feel so lost and lonely like never before. I still am surrounded by beautiful people but it’s the feeling of humanity being connected that I crave.

24:05 On the ‘canary in the coalmine’ expression: I feel like miss Robbins used a kid-friendly version to explain the expression. In reality birds do not tend to sing underground. Because their respiratory systems are extremely sensitive, unfortunately the indicator for the miners to get out of the mines would be for the canaries to fall ill or die due to the leaking of toxic gasses.

[@barbarafairbanks4578]

@S1rD4niel Yah, you are right. She's got it wrong. Her story about the canary in the coalmine is the 'Rose Glasses', fairytale version😅 A canary 'sings' under the most agreeable (for them) conditions. When they are 'happy', they sing. A canary lugged along underground into a dank, dark, noisy environment would definitely NOT be singing. But such a tiny, sensitive being would be far more susceptible to breathing in deadly gasses, and would keel over far, far ahead of a human when exposed to to deadly gas.

This is a great podcast...I have been working as a teacher and it is demanding job. NO time to take a break, to rest. Even though there are breaks between the lessons I do not get a break because there is always something that needs to be done, needs to be solved, colleagues come at you with other topics and information and things that we need to work on. Also I get so many messages that are work related during the day, also during the time at work. Students ask many questions. So, when I am leaving the work I am overstimulated, my brain feels like its going to explode. As a teacher my job continues when I arrive home. So those are evenings spent with work too. After listening to the first 10 or so minutes of this podcast I could relate to so many things. Especially the one about sleep. Since working, my sleep has been the worst. No matter what I do, I just cant seem to improve it and there are so many things running around my head when I get to bed that it is impossible to fall asleep and I wake up during the night and I have to wake up early, which makes me stressed even more. So, if someone thinks that being a teacher is easy it for sure is not. The actual teaching in the classroom is the easiest, the rest is just stressful and time consuming.

I was actually having a rest when I started listening to this talk with my mobile next to me so I couldn't see Dr Aditi's face - only hear her very pleasant voice & sharp intellect. ✨️

Everyone should listen to this episode!!!!! Soooo glad that I hear what my heart has been telling me for years now from a credible source and btw I feel this is felt more in western world 🙏🏼💚

This was gold. So informative and so relevant. Thank you for sharing this. I have been challenged. The interview raised crucial points and we also received practical advice to apply in our daily lives. Stress really is a silent killer, it can truly steal the joy in ones life. I feel encouraged and empowered.

This is such a great episode. One bit that had me jump out my chair like I scored in a game was about multitasking. I don't believe in multitasking. Never really did. I believe that constantly switching gears actually makes you less efficient, places more pressure on you and tires the brain more rapidly. So it's nice to hear that it is actually backed by science. Typically when I've explained this to family or friends they simply say I'm bad at multi-tasking to which I respond, "Say whatever you want to say, I know the truth!" 😆 I definitely want to read this book. Great content. Thanks again.

I have chronic mental health issues due to trauma, traumatic labours , 3 kids, lack of sleep and a very mentally abusive…narcissistic relationship. It all shows up through my body it’s horrible, my last “episode “ lasted 8 weeks and it never really went away I still constantly live with a feeling of being on my nerves and a anxious pit in my stomach! And I live in my head! . This podcast was really informative though and I will try some of the things I’ve learned here.

Sending you lot's of love, it will get better. I hope you will find a safe way out of the toxic relationship someday. It will take time to heal from those experiences and for your body to feel safe again but you will get there!

I pray things resolve and you talk about this with your loved ones and seek professional help to manage your situation

[@aesogoogleuser334]

I’m so sorry you’re in this situation and praying you find ways to prioritize and care for yourself and be a gray rock to the narc for your own sanity 🙏🏾. As a mother of 3, I can imagine it’s v.tough, but God will give you strength and wisdom to listen to your intuition and obey it. He makes ways where there’s none. Have a support network, even one person who believes you and seek counseling. It’s tough to bear it alone. Sending prayers up for you and love 💗 your way 🙏🏾.

I know I have a lot of stress. I have mentioned it to my family dr & my psychiatrist, but they have only mentioned counseling, more meds, etc. This was the best episode! I learned so much!

What an excellent interview. I feel like the closing thoughts are a beautiful reflection of both of your dedication to your crafts, and respect for each other. I thought that was really cool

[@janelleandclayton]

It’s so crucial to listen to our bodies and make the changes needed to be less stressed. Thanks for sharing such a great video! 😊🙌

I had burnout masquerading as high engagement in work. What was going on was, I was so overscheduled, exhausted, distractable and stretched thin that I couldn't get my assigned tasks done within work hours, so I ended up needing to work late into the night to finish them all, which just perpetuated the problem, as decision-making became impaired. At some point it just became a habit to work all day--including on weekends--so I stopped even trying to have periods of self-care. Obviously there was a lot more going on than I can describe in this comment, but I'd say, if you see an employee/coworker working more hours than expected, don't just assume that is a good thing.

Sounds familiar
