Use the body to control the mind

Handling a heartbreak

The utility of dopamine detox

The single best thing you can do for your sleep, energy, mood, wakefulness is to get natural light in your eyes early in the day

Control the mind contd.

Daily short bouts of controlled intense stress through breathing can mitigate stress, try: 

(1) 5 minutes of physiologic sigh (double inhale through the nose followed by long exhale through mouth);

(2) 5 minutes of cyclic hyperventilation (deep inhale through nose immediately following by deep exhale through mouth x 25-30 then fully exhaling until lungs are empty and repeating)

Three critical tips for viewing bright light early in the day

(1) viewing in the first 30-60 minutes of waking has a powerful impact on the ability to fall asleep and stay asleep at night;

(2) if it’s dark because of cloudiness or time of day you wake up, flip on artificial lights in your house (but go outside as soon as the sun it out);

(3) Get outside on cloudy days; you need even more light than on a clear day.
