1 小时 5 分钟Just sitting there and grinding it out is actually counterproductive.
It would be much better for you to go out and have a nice walk.
And when we move and give space for the brain to bring up some creative ideas to the surface to bubble up to the mind, then we can surprise ourselves.
So we all know how exercise and fitness can impact and improve our physical health.
But what about what it can do.
For your mind, for your brain, for.
Our experience of anxiety or depression or stress and more, for our relationships, our ability to experience peace and ease?
And why do we resist it so much?
Movement can be this astonishingly powerful prescription for the all too often heaviness and complexity of life.
Then why don't we do more of it?
What stops us from doing it?
And how does it actually work?
Beyond appearance and fitness and performance, what does it do for us on a broader level?
Well, turns out our bodies and brains do this fascinating dance that sometimes supports us and other times shuts us down, even when we know rationally we'd feel better making different choices.
And it makes me wonder if the solution to start moving more isn't based on doctor's orders or some sort of cosmetic or performance aspiration or creating a rigorous workout plan, but instead listening to our bodies and responding accordingly with movement.
In a way that brings all systems.
Online, that treats and helps and heals on a profoundly different level, that radiates up to the brain, changes the way that we perceive ourselves and the world around us, and just makes us feel better in every context and element of life.
And that's what we're talking about today with my guest, Doctor Jennifer Heise.
So she's an expert in brain health and the author of Move the Body, Heal the mind.
Doctor Heise is an associate professor and Canada research chair in Brain health and aging at McMaster University where she directs the neurofit lab.
