Hi, Rob, here from the art of health question is stress good for you? It's a great question today. I'm going to talk about three things. I'm going to talk about grit Then I'll talk about resilience, and then I'm going to talk about super resilience. Firstly, grit, grit is a great skill to develop, especially, when you've got a positive goal, something that you want to achieve in the future that is going to benefit you, and it's going to benefit the people around you and other people. You need some grit, for example, for personal fitness. You know the the benefits of that - you're going to feel better. You have a better body shape, and when you feel well and better, you'll be able to help those around you to feel well and better too it's infectious, but you need some grit to carry on with that training to keep doing it regularly.Rob (01:26):

Every day, it's not easy. You can easily fall off, but if you've got some grit, you'll carry on and it's stressful. Another example would be, um, having a sales job, being a salesperson, um, you know, the benefits of, of selling whatever product you're selling, the person who's, who's buying it from you. They're going to benefit from, from having whatever it is. You're going to benefit by doing the sale because you'll earn some money from it. Keep the roof over your head. everyone benefits from making sales, but you need some grit, some determination you have to be able to, get in front of those people regularly. You've got to be able to cope with rejection sometimes as a salesman. So it takes some determination and grit.New Speaker (02:22):

Learning a musical instrument. There's another example. You've just got to keep doing it and doing it and doing it and eventually, wow, it sets you free. It's wonderful thing. I'm a musician - I know about these things. So the longterm benefits of having grit of carrying on and being persistent with something, when you've got a goal that benefits you and other people - the the benefits of doing this, we know are good, but here's the rub. It's stressful. It creates stress in your life.Rob (03:03):

How do we deal with it? How can we make that stress work for us and not stop us from carrying on? Here's a couple of ideas. I would say that resilience is the most important quality that we need to develop in order to get over that stress. And in fact, make it work for us. I'll tell you what I mean in a minute, resilience is an engineering term. It applies to a material that has been put under pressure - stressed, and then when the pressure or the stress goes away, it returns to its original shape. So, resilient material returns to its original form. So for example, a tall building that it might move a bit in the wind. It swayed to one side in the wind, but when the wind stops, it's designed, it's a resilient building. It stays up, it goes back to where it should be - upright. A ball, rubber ball. Here's a rubber ball. If I throw this at the floor, oh, you didn't see that, but it bounced. I wonder if you can see - did you see that? It bounces. but what happens is when it hits the floor, it, it changes shape, squashes. And then, it returns to its original shape because it's resilient.Rob (04:40):

It bounces back. So it's about bouncing back. What I'd like to talk about now is super resilience. Now super resilience is when that ball actually bounces back further after it's had its shape changed. So instead of just bouncing back the same or not quite as far, it'll go further. Nature is full of super resilient systems. A great example of that is trees. Trees that grow where they are exposed to lots of stress, to winds and storms and they're exposed... They have stronger limbs and they have deeper and stronger roots. If a tree is, grown artificially in an artificial environment with no wind and just constant light and that sort of thing, the roots don't develop. The slightest bit of stress and it'll fall over. So nature is full of super resilient systems and we are a super resilient system.Rob (06:05):

It's a wonderful, wonderful thing. Super resilient systems. Don't just go back to their original shape. They get better. They get stronger. It's fantastic. You become, more resistant to disease. You become happier. There's a thing called PTG post-traumatic growth. Everyone's heard of PTSD post-traumatic stress disorder, but more than twice the number of people who have trauma, actually experienced growth rather than the disorder. Anyway, that's a whole other video for another day, but we are naturally designed to be super resilient, a super resilient system. Let me give you a couple of examples, muscles.Rob (07:03):

When you put your muscles under stress, if you lift some weights, I do every morning, only for a couple of minutes, a couple or five minutes. You can feel it hurts. It feels - it's difficult to do. Do it every day, keep doing it. And what happens is when you then rest, (that's something really important. I'm going to talk about in a minute) when you rest, that muscle, actually you've heard it a bit, but it grows back stronger. It grows back bigger. You can physically see it. You can see the different shape of your muscles work. If you persist and have determination and grit at carrying on. So, we are super resilient systems. What's another example. Learning a musical instrument is difficult. You've got to make yourself do it sometimes, especially if you've got a gig coming up, you're under pressure. You're under stress, but by doing it, you'll, uh, you'll get better and everyone will benefit you benefit you'll be able to express yourself more freely and the audience will benefit from your beautiful, singing and playing.New Speaker (08:25):

The salesmen, by having that grit and determination, he makes everybody better. His customers are better and he is better off, literally better off. So how do you deal with that stress? This happens all the time and it's so easy to think, oh, well, I'm not going to carry on. It's too difficult.New Speaker (08:46):

Here's two tips. Two good tips to help you deal with that. The first is recovery. Recovery is virtually everything. Um, when you're being persistent and determined and having grit, you need recovery time, just like your muscles need recovery time. So if you're under pressure from a sales manager and you've got this to do and that to do, and so much is coming at you - take breaks. I've done this today. when I'm working on something and I want to really focus on something, I use a system called 55, 55 30. So I focus and concentrate 55 minutes and then I have a five minute break. And during that five minute break, I walk out of the room, stretch my limbs, do something different, change channels, think about something else. I'm not still thinking about the work that I'm doing. Then I go back to it for another 55 minutes or 60 minutes. And then I have a half hour break and a proper break. Uh, maybe get a cup of coffee, maybe go for a slightly longer walk or walk outside, go and walk for a mile, come back and do it again. 55 55 30. Now, by doing that, you're allowing your mind and your body to recover and you get much more done in those four hours of focused work than you would in just sitting down - trying to work for four hours, trying to concentrate - whatever you're doing four hours, we need to recover.Rob (10:26):

So you need to take breaks. Recovery time is so important. So whatever you're persisting at, whatever you're determined to finish, take breaks, take breaks, go for little walks outside during your Workday. You'll make a fantastic difference. So the first thing I'm talking about here to beat the stress of having grit and making things happen in your life is to have recovery time. That's number one. The second thing is this. When you are making a change for the better in your life, you need to keep your expectations low and your commitment high. So, success, your success, in the medium to long-term depends on you lowering your expectations in the present moment and for the future and increasing your commitment to achieving that. So, lowered expectations and increased commitment. If you can do that and take breaks in your day, you're going to fly. You're going to succeed. So I'm going to finish this little talk about resilience, super resilience, and recovering from stress with this beautiful poem. I'll read it. It's By Douglas Malloch, famous poem.Rob (11:56):

Hi, Rob here. Welcome to another art of health podcast. Today. I'm going to talk about how essential sleep is to both your mental and your physical wellbeing. I'm going to quote from a couple of really interesting studies about this as well, but let me start by asking you a question. Who's heard the phrase, "you can sleep when you're dead" or "sleep's for the weak". Have you ever heard anyone say, "oh, I can manage quite easily on six hours sleep a night" maybe now and again, but consistently six hours.? It Just isn't enough. Let me tell you about these two studies. The first study was done by K Anders, Ericsson, and it's quite famous study of violin players. In fact, this study is what gave rise to Malcolm Gladwell's 10,000 hour rule. And of course the study found that it was the violinists who rehearsed for, for longer and better quality rehearsal that became absolutely brilliant. 

That's what set them above. They could have natural talent, but the people who rehearsed and practiced for hours and hours longer were much better violin players, but an overlooked part of that study was, (and equally important!) was the amount of sleep that the really brilliant violin players got - the best violin players averaged 8.6 hours of sleep in every 24 hour period. And also over the period of a week, the really good ones spent an average of 2.8 hours napping in the afternoons, apparently 20 minutes is the optimum time for an afternoon nap, but this helped them to concentrates as well. So by having enough sleep, the really brilliant violin players had a clearer mind. They had more focus, more energy. They were able to have better concentration, and this is what allowed them to rehearse better quality rehearsal for longer.
Another interesting study was done at Lüebeck university and this study was reported in NATURE journal - the scientific journal. Volunteers were recruited one afternoon, they were all shown a series of complex numeric numerical puzzles, which they were going to have to solve the next morning. And they were all told that there was an underlying hidden code that would actually solve them all. They were then split up. The volunteers were split into two groups. One group was allowed to have a very good night's sleep, good conditions, dark, quiet, all those things. The other half of the group were put in rather bad accommodation with which was too light and noisy and that sorts of thing. So they had the disturbed night's sleep. You can guess where this is going can't you, The ones who had a good night's sleep over half of them solved all of the puzzles.
They got the underlying code, the ones who had a poor night's sleep hardly any of them. I can't remember the exact amount something liket 5% of them managed to solve the puzzles. So sleep. What sleep does it enhances the integration and association and associated information in the mind. So it consolidates that  associated information, a good night's sleep actually increases cognitive function. It makes you more intelligent. That's what I'm trying to get at. So that was the two studies about the mental benefits of a good night's sleep of getting enough sleep. Stamford university carried out a study on basketball players. And in this study they, uh, got a group of basketball players and over a seven week period, they all had an extended sleep. So they were asked to stay in bed for 10 hours a night. Uh, they may not have slept for all of that, but they all got much more sleep than they normally would.
And of course the upshots of the study was that they all performed much better. They got more shots in and they had more stamina. So it increased their physical ability by having more sleep. So in conclusion, have you ever felt pressurised to just stay out for one more or, oh, it's been said, oh, come on. You can sleep when you're dead. Or (this is what happens to me) - A group of friends want to go out for a night out. And I know that the next morning I've got to get up and be bright and breazy, but I'm under pressure. So we're pressurised socially to not worry about sleep. But what I'm saying is you should prioritise your mental health and your wellbeing. It takes a lot of courage to stand up and prioritise that, getting enough sleep. So forget sleeping when you're dead, I say, sleep now, stay switched on and feel alive. Okay. Have a great week. See you soon. Bye.

These questions are designed to ask, to bring our staff, and rather than asking how are you doing, it's what are you afraid of? What are your concerns? This is designed about life, really. So, it's work and home. It just gives you a flavor as to what you need to do and if you need to tweak anything, but also, to drag out if anyone is feeling really bad, to try and identify that and do something about it.” – Paul Nugent  “What I was probably not so good at in the early years when we started out and building a team is not sharing my vision, and I would carry on and get frustrated when people weren't coming on board with what I wanted to do. So throughout this time, really, I think being communicative, sharing with the staff where we're going, and getting them involved as well. Is everybody on board? If not, then it's a case of how can you be and then make them understand why you’re doing it. Just being clear about what you're doing and why you're doing it.” – Paul Nugent    Connect with Paul Nugent:

And I'm careful not saying nutrition because you can get down this road of 'nutritionism', which means just looking at things like zinc, omega three, essential fatty acids without actually joining up to what is important about food. And that is, sharing, eating together and all sorts of other social things that food does, rather than just the nutrition and it all being a super green smoothie." - Kate Cook "It's really looking around the culture of food, extending the nutritional conversation, even out to the soil and to the actual origins of where our food comes from. So, it's all connected. We need to look at the whole picture, not just how it's going to serve us, but how it's going to serve everybody, our family, and ultimately, the planet as well." - Kate Cook

Key Takeaways:

“We often start too strong. We kind of forget that healthy living is a way of living and it’s something that takes time and evolves, and as you evolve, your habits and routines and everything that you do will evolve and change too. What we’re trying to do is try and fit into a mold that doesn’t work for you.” – Cecilie Jacobsen

“It’s about not starting off too strong; it’s finding small things and incorporate that into your lifestyle and make habits of it so that you don’t have to think about things.” – Cecilie Jacobsen

“As human beings, we’re designed to conserve energy. We’re not designed to exercise. It makes no sense from an evolutionary perspective to expend energy just for the sake of it.” – Cecilie Jacobsen

“Sit less, sit differently, and sit better.” – Cecilie Jacobsen

“As we go through our to-do lists and all of our tasks, I think we forget to do things that make us happy. When we take five minutes to do one of those things on your list, it can kind of help calm your mind, calm your brain, and be able to move on with your day.” – Sarah Sperry
