Your limbic system will make or break your performance in this world

As @DentesLeo said, “panic causes more casualties than any disaster”

What is your limbic system and how do you manage it effectively?

THREAD

First, what is the limbic system?

It has 4 main components:

-Amygdala
-Hippocampus
-Hypothalamus
-Thalamus

Amygdala:

This is the emotional sensor of your brain

This is where fear conditioning occurs

When stimulated, emotions of anger, violence, fear and anxiety can be evoked

When damaged, it can lead to the Kluver-Bucy syndrome

That syndrome leads to hyper-orality, hypersexuality, disinhibited behaviour

Hippocampus:

It is in close proximity to the amygdala

It is responsible for forming and storing new memories

So basically consolidating short term memories into long term ones

A damaged hippocampus leads to anterograde amnesia

The inability to form new memories

Hypothalamus:

A small group of nuclei thay plays a role in regulating the endocrine system (close connection to pituitary gland)

It has an important role in regulating the autonomic nervous system

Basically fight and flight, rest and digest

Thalamus:

Located just above the hypothalamus

It is the main relay station in the brain

Sensory and motor signals sent to and from spinal cord and cerebrum

This includes senses like see, hear, feel, taste, touch

These have a huge infuence on our emotions

So I hope you have by now figured out that is kind if important, yes?

Lets move on to how we keep a healthy limbic system

1. Anti inflammatory diet

Strictly avoid:

-Processed, GMO foods
-Vegetable oils
-Refined sugar
-Artificial sweeteners
-Refined carbs

Eat more:

-Grass fed meats
-Tumeric, garlic ginger
-Bone broth
-Wild salmon
-Green vegetables (organic or stay away from it
-Ghee
-Quality fat

2. Optimise your breathing

So many people breathe wrong and the poor souls have no clue

Take long, deep breaths instead of short, shallow ones

Breathe consciously

3. Gratitude and laughter

4. Reduce electromagnetic field exposure

-Get in nature more (no phone)
-Take all gadgets out of room when going to bed

Basically tell all your gadgets to fuck off for a couple of hours a day

5. Optimise sleep

-Sun exposure (no, it doesnt give you cancer)
-Regular exercise (not before bed)
-No caffeine 10 hours before going to sleep (yes, 10 hours)
-Supplement with magnesium
-Avoid blue light from gadgets before sleeping
