What tools can I use to adapt the right mindset during a task at work?
I realized that when I’m “in the mood” to do a specific task it’s a lot easier to do it. For example; if I have to write a long term business strategy but my mind is trapped in a tunnel vision mode (ie focused on a problem facing in that particular day) I find it extremely hard to get in the zone for the larger task. To sum it up, are there tools to reset my mindset so I can easier adapt my brain to the desired task I need to perform?
Deliberate cold exposure
From my understanding the use of deliberate cold exposure is among other things meant to work as a stressor to the body to spike Adrenalin and get an acute stress reaction which in the long term leads to making the body more resilient when getting stressed. When I do the cold exposure my general and spontanous reaction is some kind of hyperventilation, what makes my body be even more stressed, whereas when I concentrate on doing a calm breathing with a double inhale and long exhale my body feels much less stressed (as you would probably expect). My question now is: what breathing pattern would you reccomend when doing the cold exposure? Can the double inhale and long exhale from your point of view reduce the stress reaction (and adrenalin spike) and therefor maybe weaken the effect of getting more stress resilient?
Suggestion: an episode on High Blood Pressure and its effects
especially in younger people. I have HPB and am on medication since I am 30 and my GP says is idiopathic. But I feel a bit left alone when it comes to what I can do to get a healthier HPB and it would be awesome to learn more
