1.4 Stimulation Addiction

Listen Later

So I talk about this a lot. This idea that for most of us, our bodies and minds are simply addicted to the constant stimulation that being busy provides us. It takes time to wean ourselves off this addiction to stimulation.


In this weeks episode I talk about:

  • What exactly stimulation addiction is.
  • Why it feels so uncomfortable to meditate when we suffer from this.
  • How our stress system works and why it is important to learn how to turn it down every now and again.
  • Why terms like Adrenal Fatigue are becoming so common now days and why someone trying to sell you a supplement to 'treat it' is probably missing the actual point.
  • How meditation and mindfulness are actually amazing tools for not only weaning ourselves off stimulation addiction but also your overall health moving forward.
