Anxiety

Notes

  • Optic flow (self-generated): Getting objects moving past you / your eyes (i.e. moving) help lower activity of amygdala, and therefore reduce anxiety (source: Huberman)

  • How and when we breathe can have effects here. See Breath book by James Nestor

  • Raise stress threshold by highly activating body and/or stimulating adrenaline release, but then calming mind

    • i.e. running at max capacity (or close to it), dilate gaze to relax mind

      • To dilate gaze: not moving head and eyes around

        • Going from tunnel vision to broader, panoramic vision, seeing more of environment all at once
