Hello life coach

What biological and chemical processes and chemicals are secreted when we are happy and excited?

Can we influence the biological and chemical processes in our brain so we secrete these chemicals by our way of thinking and being and living?

Greetings

Hi Remo

All your organs and cells using biochemical processes to communicate and operate. Your endocrine system uses biochemical processes, and hormones is something that is central to the body and you can influence through both diet and nutrition, physical exercise, physical purification and mental and physical health. Feel - good hormone dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin and endorphins can therefore influence in many ways and prevent various diseases, such as depression.

Nervous System

The nervous system and the brain uses electrochemical processes. The nervous system consists of two parts:

Autonomic Nervous System - involuntary controlled

The autonomic nervous system control functions and bodies that are not volitional, such as the heart, liver, stomach ... The autonomic nervous system consists of the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system that counteract each other:

• Sympathetic nervous system - energy-intensive documents (achievement and struggle). The sympathetic nervous system is activated at the achievement, struggle and flight, pressure and stress. The body tightened, heart start beating fast, blood pressure increases, pupils dilate, skin cold sweat, digestion ceases. The secretion of glucagon and increases insulin secretion decreases. Adrenaline and noradrenaline and cortisol excreted. Growth increases the sex drive is stimulated. 
• Parasympathetic nervous system - energy-saving actions (relaxation). The parasympathetic nervous system is activated at rest and sleep. The heart beats slower, lowering blood pressure, intestinal motor stimulated, digestion stimulated the secretion of insulin increases. Feel-good hormone oxytocin increases. Increases metabolism and the immune system is strengthened. Adrenaline and noradrenaline and cortisol is decreased.

Somatic nervous system - willed controlled

There is somatic system controls the functions of the body that are involuntary.

• Motor nerves. The body movements, movements of the arms and legs, muscle movements.
• Sensory nerves. The body's feelings, skin and muscles emotional bodies.

Energy Medicine

Something that is not accepted and rejected in västerländs medicine but used in österländs medicine and should be mentioned is the idea that you also have an energy body! Ie not just a biochemical body that affects your health. In this energy your body seems Livsenergi! The energy body is not visible but is comprised of clean energy (electromagnetic frequency fields).

In energy medicine (frequency medicine / quantum medicine) are working on methods to prevent and heal disease by processing the energy body (a large energy field that extends beyond the body). Every body cell has its own vibration frequencies and they also communicate with each other through the energy body. Imbalance in the energy body that occurs at the mental and physical diseases can be treated by, inter alia, restore the energy flow. Proper breathing is also considered key to balancing your life energy.

Note:
The energy (life energy), which are discussed in the energy medicine should not be confused with the energy we're talking about in the West dealing with energy intake and energy expenditure, ie calories in and calories out. See energy.

Note:
Life energy, called prana in India, Ki in China and is a concept used in acupuncture, ajurveda, Chinese medicine, acupuncture, reflexology, yoga with his chakra, meditation, etc. In energy medicine one uses often the life energy as an active component. Life-energy is considered in turn affect the body's nervous system and the production of hormones.

The placebo effect

The placebo effect is something that even the traditional medical community recognizes, it is accepted and taking into account its impact. It has been shown that the confidence and expectation we have on our health will be improved actually helps in the healing of the body. The placebo effect is a neurobiological phenomenon and several studies have been done that proves that the placebo effect works.

When testing various new drugs so often used only pure sugar pills in half of the test group, while the rest may have access to the new drug. None of the groups know what you got but just the knowledge and confidence that they have received has shown that even those who receive sugar pills improve their health. Therefore takes this effect into account when to interpret the test results afterwards for the whole group. Ie The confidence that the placebo effect means is an effective factor that raises health overall.

Placebos have been shown to work in conjunction with both the pain, ingestion of morphine as depression etc. The placebo effect has been able to be as high as about 30-60% of what is achieved with the comparative product after the studies done in different contexts, which means that the tank and the power of imagination is strong and active in recovery. For example, when a patient believes he received a medicine for pain as the body's own pain-relieving endorphins activated instead!

Approximately 30% of recovery is by means of the placebo effect! Applies to both treatment and if you got a tablet.

Note
Nocebo effect is the opposite effect of the placebo effect, which demonstrates that people can become much sicker and poorer if they believe that to be the case, especially if the instructions come from an authority - a doctor! Experiments in health care have been done to prove this, including by giving a placebo (saline) for asthma patients with the assertion that the patients will be annoyed in the respiratory system, which then took place for nearly half of the subjects!

How do I optimize my brain to be more efficient as well as I do the right priorities at work and in my life?

Hello life coach

I find it hard to find time to do everything on my job and in my private life, and I find it very difficult to focus on what is most important and get it done.

Do you have any good tips on how I should deal with this about my work and in my private life.

Thanks in advance for your help and your good advice here to me.

Greetings
Oscar


Hi Oscar

Here you have 5 tips on optimizing your brain, and I hope that they can help you to deal with your worries and problems that you have described to me in your email to me here above.

During a working day, we lose a lot of brain power by doing things in the wrong order, semi pause and be interrupted. By adapting the work a little more for the brain, we can both get more energy, perform better and have more fun!

1. Put first things first
It is far too easy to grasp the simple, quick tasks first, and shoot at the more demanding tasks. They then form and takes the energy in the background and could never be made. If we start the day having to cope with an important task, we quickly started the reward system in the brain and get an energy boost.

2. Customize the information for your energy curve
When the day you tend to be most alert and most clear head? For most of us it is in the morning or noon. Plan your demanding tasks when you are most alert and the easier tasks when you tend to be more tired. It sounds obvious, but there are surprisingly many who devote their most alert hours spent reading emails and weed out spam!

3. Focus fully
How long is your brain trained to stay focused? If you get interrupted constantly get a restless mind who is accustomed to constantly changing focus. And every time you move the focus it takes energy from the brain and allows it to become both more tired and underperforming. Try to give yourself the opportunity to focus fully on one task at any time during the day. Do you work in a noisy environment, see if you can plan time to work in a quiet room, wear earmuffs / headphones, to work in another place sometimes, or go a idépromenad.

4. Remove smart breaks
Are you beginning to underperform, difficulty concentrating or begin lethargic surf? When your brain is probably in need of a break. These semi pauses risks drag on without the brain actually becomes more alert. Whole pause instead! The most efficient breaks you get if the brain does not need to take any new information at all. It is also good to get some movement, which gives new oxygen to the brain. Take a walk, dance on job-toilet, juggling, draw or make a short meditation. It gives the brain fast recovery.

5. Enable the reward system
The brain's reward system is started when we check off a task, learn something new, get an exciting challenge and has just enough tough goal to strive for. Write your to-do lists so that they start the reward system instead of the stress system. Tex by dividing large tasks into smaller parts and looking at the daily goal, reward and own challenges.

Good luck and hope you get the order of your priorities in your life.

I wonder what's going on and why I feel and gets so hot when I hug with someone?

Hi Mr. Life Coach

I wonder what's going on and why I feel and gets so hot when I hug with someone?

Grateful for an answer to my question!

Emily


Hi Emliy

It's not that weird. Touch triggers the secretion of endorphins in the brain - an analgesic endogenous who is more powerful than heroin. A warm touch release also love hormone oxytocin. This hormone helps create a sense of confidence and reduces levels of cortisol stresshor-monet. Next to childbirth and breastfeeding is six most powerful trigger oxytocin release.

Vital touching each other

That you enjoy so out of touch is that physical proximity is a scarce commodity in our individualistic western world. Many have a deficit of touching account, especially singles in Sweden.

In a groundbreaking study studied psychologist Sidney Jouard conversation between friends in different parts of the world. He found that the two observed friends in Britain, a country that is reminiscent of Sweden, touched each other zero times.

In Puerto Rico, moved buddies each other 180 times.

Physical proximity is a basic need of human beings. Scientists call through lack of contact for the "skin hunger", ie hudhunger.

In the first stage of life, proximity to be vital. Premature infants who received three 15-minute sessions of touch therapy every day for five to ten days increased 47 percent more weight than the premature infants who received standard medical treatment.

Later in life can touch be what stands between a healthy healthy life and a life of depression and physical illness.

"Without touching a child dies, the heart pains and soul atrophies. The need for touch is a necessity through our lives, from birth to death, and it helps us to maintain our emotional and physical health, "writes Phyllis Davis, author of the book" The Power of Touch ".

Starving singles

Unfortunately receive many singles in Sweden is not their daily dose. A survey of single girls in the circle of acquaintances shows that satiates his hudhunger differently. Some pay to get a massage once a week. and says "I feel like a horny old woman, but I need touch to feel good."

Others get their need for closeness satisfied to practice yoga instructor then settles above in order to end up in the right position. Some people dancing salsa twice a week and says that "There are those who dance five times a week just for the sake of proximity".

Study after study shows that the simple act of stretching out his arm and take on some often result in physical benefits as slower heart rate, lower blood pressure and faster recovery.

The nick signals to the brain

Professor Kerstin Uvnäs Moberg is Sweden's foremost authority on anti-stress hormone oxytocin, which she calls "our internal drug".

In his book "closeness hormone, oxytocin's role in the relationship," she writes, "A person who daily expect and get touched in the form of a loving hug, a warm hand or friendly massage is very likely to be happier, more energetic and have a greater ability and willingness to communicate.

Touch shows that we are safe, that someone cares about us, and not least that we are valuable. But it also provides comprehensive neurophysiological effects that influence our behavior and our emotions, "she writes.

- The high demand for massage and other touch therapies is an expression of our need for intimacy, says Kerstin Uvnäs Moberg. When you become concerned activate nerves in the skin, nerves that goes up to the primitive part of the brain. There in the hypothalamus and brainstem controlled important things that stress level, emotions, functions of the gastrointestinal tract, heart rate and blood pressure. When you become involved increasing influx of oxytocin into the brain regions so that you feel rewarded and well.

The key to your innermost

A person who notices the effects of touch is Ida Pine Trail, 25. She is a hairdresser at the salon at NK in Gothenburg.

- A customer can come in and be stressed, but you give them an extra minute scalp massage and suddenly the calm and begin to share their innermost thoughts. It undoubtedly has the touch to make. It does not tell such things to other strangers cashier or banker, she says.

Like many of her colleagues, she is single, but still receive their proximity needs distillates. - Between customers, we usually scratch each other on the backs and the scalp. Direct as it lowers their shoulders, stress down, starting to smile and enjoy. We single girls is the worst, we take on each other all the time.

You can become a workaholic

Not getting the loving touch has disastrous effects on the individual.

"People who are deprived of this type of touch often becomes restless and engage in binge eating, substance abuse, promiscuity, and workaholism," writes the author of the book "The Power of Touch".

Does this mean that you will grope your neighbor and invade your neighbor's personal space? Or are there other ways to get their longing for closeness appeased?

The first is to realize that you need closeness, says Kerstin Uvnäs Moberg.

- Massagers tells me that it happens to people who get massages start crying because it was so long since someone touched them, says Kerstin Uvnäs
Moberg. Many see the loss. When we were little, it was so clear. We started shouting anxiously until the mother returned.

Adults only feel a discomfort, as if something is missing. Many get a dog. There's a reason we have a million dogs in the country. Massage and couple dance are other ways to get in touch. Another group goes to the doctor and get antidepressants printed, the active ingredient is oxytocin. But you must not be afraid of it that concerns you because then you get a stress reaction instead.

The family makes you calm

People who live in a family with a partner and children do not notice the closeness need. They provided constant close if there is failure of the relationship.
- If you have family, you will be calm and contented. Proximity need is one of the reasons that marriage consists not when the love is still there.

I hope you got the answer to your question, and that you continue to hug everyone you want to hug Emily.

What symptoms and signs can I find and get that my private and job stress can be dangerous for me?

Hi Mr. therapist

I begin to have big problems with my stomach and to remember different things now. Plus, I easily become ill and get different kind of flu and colds all the time.

I wonder if it might have something to do with that I sleep so badly. I have trouble falling asleep, and then I wake up several times a night all of a sudden, and I wake up really early in the morning long before I walk in the way to work.

Plus, I never feel really rested when I slept.

I am extremely grateful for your reply, and get your help with this.

Best regards

Charlotte


Hej Charlotte

Put an end to the stress in your life. The imbalance between stress and sleep can lead to burnout or stress collapse. Here are the most important warning signs.

Stress is the body's way to help us survive by making us ready to fight or flee. To get stressed several times a day, in other words not harmful, it is we built.

In contrast, the prolonged stress, or high stress from several directions, in combination with insufficient recovery, be dangerous. Among other things, it can lead to burnout and stress collapse.

Such condition is detected, for example, again in extreme fatigue, severe difficulty concentrating, memory problems, and a lack of sense of purpose and commitment.

The road back may be long. Research shows that excessive stress without recovery in some cases, physical damage to the brain, which indeed can heal, but it can take years or even months.

Here are six signs that you are in danger:

 1. Sleep
A brain that believes itself to be threatened not sleep unnecessarily. The first clear sign of stress is to sleep change. Some may find it difficult to fall asleep, others wake up too early or more times during the night.

2. Worse immune system
The immune system is mainly built up during recovery. Lack of recovery therefore weaker immune response. Long-lasting colds and infections are a sign that your body needs rest.

3. Pain
When we are stressed, stress hormones are produced that activates the body to fight or flee. We tighten the muscles, which eventually begins to hurt. Especially common are pain in the shoulders, neck and head - the so-called stress the muscles - as it is said that we impulsively covers to protect the throat.

4. Oblivious
Under stress disturbed our concentration which in turn impairs the memory. It becomes more difficult to create intelligent strategies, plan and make decisions. Many seek help first at this stage, they become afraid when the brain no longer functions. Some perceive this as the only symptom.

5. Anxiety and depression
When the focus is directed towards avoiding hazards we risk to have a more negative view of the world and the people in it. Research also shows clear links between stress and depression, and depression.

6. Stomach
The stomach is closely linked to how we feel. An early sign of some is that the stomach is sore and swollen. In some reduces appetite, but stress can also cause us to eat more than normal. The intestinal flora are also affected by stress.

How do you manage stress:

Different people are affected and become sick with stress in different ways. But the lack of recovery is still the primary cause of the disease.

Try to avoid unnecessary stress, and be sure to be loaded to manage the you is not going away. Be careful recovery and constructive behaviors.

Sleep well, eat nutritious, train the body and spend time with people you enjoy.
