Get healthier by tricking your amygdala | Peter Kuijper | TEDxLeiden 

His message is to focus on something, stare at it for a while. Start with one-minute he says, and then build it up. You could do 10-mins, 15-mins, 30-mins, whatever you can manage. By focusing on something it stops you thinking, and quietens your emotional centre (the amygdala). He is really talking about meditation. Meditate and you will reconnect your mind with your body, and that will allow you to tune into your intuition. You only need to do it for a short time in a day. Your intuition will help you to make healthy choices over unhealthy choices. Example, sleeping when you need to sleep, as opposed to staying up too late. Slowing down in your life and taking some time out for you to just be, rather than being busy and doing all of the time. Your quality of life will improve and you will be healthier.

Your completely right. 100%

❤ thank you

You have to buy the $350 USD webinar so this is basically as informercial pushing for his products.

false. narcissist victims is not by choice

This is my biggest struggle right now. I know it came from my childhood. I am in fight or flight mode even when I’m just talking to someone or walking constantly analyzing what I’m doing wrong and my hearts pounding 70 percent of the day. Joe Dispenza seems to have a great formula for change so I’m doing that… I hope I can conquer this in my life! We got this!

Heck I couldn't focus on listening to him, due to the person that kept whispering while he was talking!

What does this have to do w the amygdala at at all and how the heck did he get chosen to give a Ted talk ...? Wth 🤔🙄❓. $ maybe?

I'm freaking out! This video makes me hear whispered voices!

Got all the way to the end and still don't know how to trick (or tickle) my amygdala. Was he saying to basically meditate?

big title for a mediocre message

“Think big but act small.” ❤️

All he really said is it's worth it to change for the better, and make small changes so it doesn't challenge the negative voice in your head (metaphorically represented here by the amygdala). There was really no useful info about the amygdala or anything. Just: "try to be your best self".

@Luis Viveros Correct. Triggering an emotional response in the amygdala will activate implicit or explicit memories. An example to do this could be taking a math test and becoming overwhelmed by the possible answers and as a result your palms begin to sweat. When you see that math test again it will trigger you explicit memory. One could take a copy of the test home and practice to become better and then have some friends verbally quiz you for additional support. Finally, when you take the math test again and know all the answers without having to recall the formulas this would be your implicit memory at work.

useless talk. Nothing on Amygdala

Terrible NLP coaching dude

When I stared at an object in my room I realized that I've never looked at any of them for as long one minute although I've lived with most of them for >10 years :).

He suggests to look at ONE thing and stare for 1 minute, then more.

The 'trick' starts at 8 minutes in...

Check out Niel Slade and his book "Tickling the Amygdala"

What's your point.. Make the right choice you live longer? Duhh.

Amygdala is for desire sectors not to be copied or to cheat . Wonderful beautiful positivity only without emotion.

making the mind shift is important being happy for no reason is the balance of true lifestyle....

I loved his speech , Great pointers for a better life

It is sad to hear that in this day and age - we've overtaxed our systems and we've done it with sublime smiles. Today we SHIFT 🧠🐠⚙ gears 🚗🚙🛻 down grade 🚲🦽🦼 and medit⁸ate⁸ 🕉 instead of medic8 💊💉🩹 we eat 🥦🧄🥦 well and swim 🏊‍♂️ . You are an idea 💡 worth spreading 🥪🍞🍇🥜🍇🍞🥪

He didn’t explain how you can trick your amygdala though 🙄 I’m baffled lol

Its just Reality really isnt it. The facts. The things people dont want to hear but its the truth.

Whispering at 1:50

Not specific enough. Far to general.

Is this a joke? He's literally trying to induce fear. Don't waste your time. Look in the comments and move on

i like his definition of being healthy i have just waated another day not being able to do or focus on anything.

I have suicidal thoughts everyday. I know that no one cares. No one wants to help. I want to die. I want to be dead.

Now I understand why bird watching is so relaxing. It switches off the amygdala.

Explains why Dutch people on trains like to stare 🤣

Let's practice mindfulness! l

Thank you so much for posting this....

so handsome, I could stare at you all day x

Is anyone heard that satanic whispering or just me 1:30

A lot of rubbish in here

One simple trick, or I'm out

Wie zit er te fluisteren

The message makes sense....I just wish he'd remove the information about BMI because that way of assessing the health/fitness of the body is the MOST inaccurate. Bio-impedance and dunk tank assessments are accurate. BMI doesn't take into account any amount of muscle mass. All of my athletic clients have been deemed Obese on the BMI "scale" due to their healthy muscle. If you aim to have a low number on the BMI chart, you may as well lose as much muscle as you possibly can.....

Tedex click bait

As a student for working online classes, this is a must recommended. 🌿

Thank you

I stare frequently

So make the Muslim prayer 🙏 and achieve the goal of that lecture ...!

that was really deep science..

This message spoke to me deeply.

1.5x speed

"Slow down and don't stress it", summed up in the Hawaiian "Shaka!'", "Hang loose!'. The amygdala is fear, a lot of our neurotic, self-destructive behaviour is to dissipate nervousness. He is saying that if you start treating the cause, even in the smallest ways - i.e., through meditation, yoga, light exercise - then you will not need to treat the symptom - i.e., through smoking, drinking, pharmaceutical, etc. If you don't do this, chances are that you will die young. Nothing new here. Boring, not well-structured lecture. He has a nervous posture and voice.
