Nervous is being
overly excited in anticipation. Causing fraught or showing anxiety. Easily
agitated. Of or relating to the nervous system.
Nervousness is an anxious feeling you have
when you have the jitters. An uneasy psychological state. An uneasy
psychological state.
Nervous Energy is
when you experience high energy and over excitement that can sometimes
make you feel anxious and can also make you do things
excessively or
repeatedly.
Adrenaline can
sometimes be elevated during these moments.
Anxiety is like
information
overload where you're overwhelmed by a
stressful situation that you can't handle because you
lack experience or
lack knowledge. Sometimes we
forget our abilities and forget our strengths. We
worry foolishly without
logically assessing a situation.
We know that we have faced difficult challenges before and we have solved
many problems before, but for some reason, we forget how
resilient we are. We fail to adapt
because we fail to remember what we have learned from previous
experiences. Anxiety is a reaction
to an external or internal stimuli.
It's how you react to the stimuli that makes all the difference. If it's
an internal stimuli, you have to avoid misinterpreting the information,
because you can cause yourself to feel bad. If
it's an external stimuli, then what ever is happening in the outside world
can cause you to overreact. You have to have faith in your abilities and
not let stress interfere with your ability to
solve problems. When you understand how things work more accurately, then
you will have more control over how certain things effect you.
Life Quotes.
Basic Anxiety theory proposes that strategies used to cope with
anxiety can be overused,
causing them to take on the appearance of needs. Basic anxiety or neurosis
could result from a variety of things including, "...direct or indirect
domination, indifference, erratic behavior, lack of respect for the
child's individual needs, lack of real guidance, disparaging attitudes,
too much admiration or the absence of it, lack of reliable warmth, having
to take sides in parental disagreements, too much or too little
responsibility, over-protection, isolation from other children, injustice,
discrimination, unkept promises, hostile atmosphere, and so on and so on."
Calm Anxiety related heart palpitations by putting both thumbs in
your mouth and sealing your lips around your thumbs and then gently
blowing out for 2 seconds. Cheeks should inflate.
Anxiety Disorder
are a group of mental disorders characterized by feelings of anxiety and
fear. Anxiety is a worry about future events and fear is a reaction to
current events. These feelings may cause physical symptoms, such as a fast
heart rate and shakiness.
Generalized Anxiety Disorder is an anxiety disorder
characterized by excessive, uncontrollable and often irrational
worry,
that is, apprehensive expectation about events or activities. This
excessive worry often interferes with daily functioning, as individuals
with GAD typically anticipate disaster, and are overly concerned about
everyday matters such as health issues, money, death, family problems,
friendship problems, interpersonal relationship problems, or work
difficulties. Individuals often exhibit a variety of physical symptoms,
including fatigue, fidgeting, headaches, nausea, numbness in hands and
feet, muscle tension, muscle aches, difficulty swallowing, excessive
stomach acid buildup, stomach pain, vomiting, diarrhea, bouts of breathing
difficulty, difficulty concentrating, trembling, twitching, irritability,
agitation, sweating, restlessness, insomnia, hot flashes, rashes, and
inability to fully control the anxiety (ICD-10). These symptoms must be
consistent and ongoing, persisting at least six months, for a formal diagnosis of GAD.
Test
Anxiety is a combination of physiological over-arousal, tension and
somatic symptoms, along with worry, dread, fear of failure, and
catastrophizing, that occur before or during test situations.
Apprehension is anxiety
or fear that something bad or unpleasant will happen. Fearful expectation
or anticipation. Painful expectation. Anticipate with dread or anxiety.
Apprehension also means the cognitive condition of someone who
understands. Get the meaning of something. Apprehension also means the act
of apprehending a suspect and take into custody.
Phobias
describes having irrational, abnormal, unwarranted, persistent, or
disabling fear.
Panic
is a sudden sensation of fear, which is so strong as to dominate
or prevent reason
and logical thinking,
replacing it with overwhelming feelings of anxiety and frantic agitation
consistent with an animalistic fight-or-flight reaction. Panic may occur
singularly in individuals or manifest suddenly in large groups as mass
panic, which is closely related to
herd behavior.
Panic Attack
are sudden periods of intense fear that may include palpitations,
sweating, shaking, shortness of breath, numbness, or a feeling that
something bad is going to happen. The maximum degree of symptoms occurs
within minutes. Typically they last for about 30 minutes but the duration
can vary from seconds to hours. There may be a fear of losing control or
chest pain. Panic attacks themselves are not dangerous.
Panic Disorder Symptoms include overwhelming fear, sweaty palms,
shortness of breath, rapid heart rate -- these are the symptoms of a panic
attack, which people with
panic disorder have frequently and unexpectedly. People with panic
disorder have frequent and unexpected panic attacks. These attacks are
characterized by a sudden wave of fear or discomfort or a sense of losing
control even when there is no clear danger or trigger. Creating a map of
the regions, neurons, and connections in the brain that mediate these
panic attacks can provide guidance for developing more effective panic
disorder therapeutics. Researchers have found set of neurons that mediate
panic-like symptoms in mice, which showcase a novel brain pathway that
could be a target for new panic disorder therapeutics. Salk researchers
have begun to construct that map by discovering a brain circuit that
mediates panic disorder. This circuit consists of specialized neurons that
send and receive a neuropeptide -- a small protein that sends messages
throughout the brain -- called PACAP. What's more, they determined that
PACAP and the neurons that produce its receptor are possible druggable
targets for new panic disorder treatments. To begin sketching out a panic
disorder brain map, the researchers looked at a part of the brain called
the lateral parabrachial nucleus in the pons (part of the brain stem),
which is known as the brain's alarm center. Interestingly, this small
brainstem area also controls breathing, heart rate, and body temperature.
It became evident that the PBL was likely implicated in generating panic
and bringing about emotional and physical changes. Furthermore, they found
that this brain area produces a neuropeptide, PACAP (pituitary adenylate
cyclase-activating polypeptide), known as the master regulator of stress
responses. But the link between these elements was still unclear, so the
team turned to a mouse model of panic attacks to confirm and expand their
proposed map.
"I
don't let that bother me any more", because
I learned and acquired
knowledge and information that helped me to understand myself and the
world around me a lot better than I did before. So now I don't worry about
most things anymore, I
just learn what the problem is and then I work on
solving that problem. I didn't need a
pill, I just
needed valuable knowledge and good information and some guidance.
Having introception is more than just
your thoughts, it's also the
signals from your nervous system, and it's also your
experiences and the
level of
knowledge that you have.
Bother
is to cause annoyance or be disturbed, especially by minor irritations.
Something or someone that causes trouble or is a source of unhappiness. To
cause inconvenience or discomfort to. Intrude or enter uninvited. Make
nervous or agitated. Make
confused or perplexed or puzzled. An
angry
disturbance.
Tense is to be
uneasy, nervous or anxious. In a state of physical or nervous tension.
Become stretched, tense or taut.
Consternation are feelings of
anxiety or dismay, typically at something unexpected.
Normal Responses in life do not require
medication, people need education and not medication. Once people
understand that anxiety is a normal response to stress, and once people
can have access to knowledge and information that will help them to
understand themselves and the world around them more accurately, then
people will never have to depend on drugs or risk their sanity and health
on drugs they don't need.
"Most powerful is he who has himself in his own power." (Seneca)
It's All in Your Head is a simple answer
to a complex phenomenon that takes a lot of time and learning to fully
understand.
Fear of the Unknown. If you educate
yourself about the things you don't know, then fear of the unknown is no
longer problem. This is not to say that you will know everything or that
there's a 100 percent guarantee. It's about not letting the things that
you don't know, keep you from remembering the things that you do know,
like knowing the fact that you can't control everything that happens. But
you can control a lot of things, like your awareness and how you act and
react. The more you learn the less fears you will have. But the more you
learn, the more vulnerabilities you will be aware of. But not to fear
these vulnerabilities, just minimize the risks. Fear can be a motivator
for change. But fear can get in the way of learning. Don't fear the
unknown, know the unknown.
Agoraphobia is an anxiety disorder characterized by symptoms of
anxiety in situations where the person perceives
their environment to be unsafe with no easy way to escape. These
situations can include open spaces, public transit, shopping centers, or
simply being outside their home. Being in these situations may result in a
panic attack. The symptoms occur nearly every time the situation is
encountered and last for more than six months. Those affected will go to
great lengths to avoid these situations. In severe cases people may become
completely unable to leave their homes.
Separation Anxiety is an anxiety disorder in which an
individual experiences excessive anxiety regarding separation from home or
separation from people to whom the individual has a strong emotional attachment (e.g.
a parent,
caregiver, significant other or siblings). It is most common in infants
and small children, typically between the ages of 6–7 months to 3 years.
Separation anxiety is a natural part of the developmental process. Unlike
SAD (indicated by excessive anxiety), normal separation anxiety indicates
healthy advancements in a child’s cognitive maturation and should not be
considered a developing behavioral problem.
Stage Fright is the anxiety, fear,
or persistent phobia which may be aroused in an individual by the
requirement to perform in front of an audience, whether actually or
potentially (for example, when performing before a camera). In the context
of public speaking,
this may precede or accompany participation in any activity involving
public self-presentation. In some cases stage fright may be a part of a
larger pattern of social phobia or social anxiety disorder, but many people
experience stage fright without any wider problems. Quite often, stage
fright arises in a mere anticipation of a
performance, often a long time
ahead. It has numerous manifestations: stuttering, tachycardia, tremor in
the hands and legs, sweaty hands, facial nerve tics, dry mouth, and
dizziness.
Xenophobia is the fear of that which is perceived to be
foreign or strange.
Horror
Movies - Fear Mongering
- Trauma Hypochondriasis
is illogically worrying about having a serious
illness. This debilitating condition is the result of an
inaccurate
perception of the condition of body or mind despite the absence of an
actual medical condition. An individual suffering from hypochondriasis is
known as a hypochondriac. Hypochondriacs become unduly alarmed about any
physical or psychological symptoms they detect, no matter how minor the
symptom may be, and are convinced that they have, or are about to be
diagnosed with, a serious illness.
Cyberchondria the unfounded escalation of
concerns about
common symptomology based on review of search results and literature
online. Articles in popular media position cyberchondria anywhere from
temporary neurotic excess to adjunct hypochondria. Cyberchondria is a
growing concern among many healthcare practitioners as patients can now
research any and all symptoms of a rare disease, illness or condition, and
manifest a state of medical anxiety.
Repetition Compulsion is a psychological phenomenon in which
a person repeats a traumatic event or its circumstances
over and over
again. This includes reenacting the event or putting oneself in situations
where the event is likely to happen again. This "re-living" can also take
the form of dreams in which memories and feelings of what happened are
repeated, and even hallucination.
Neuroticism is characterized by anxiety, fear, moodiness,
worry, envy, frustration, jealousy, and loneliness.
Mass Psychogenic illness is the rapid spread of illness
signs and symptoms affecting members of a
cohesive group,
originating from a nervous system disturbance involving excitation, loss,
or alteration of function, whereby physical complaints that are exhibited
unconsciously have no corresponding organic aetiology. MPI is distinct
from other collective delusions, also included under the blanket terms of
mass hysteria, in that MPI causes symptoms of disease, though there is no
organic cause.
Malingering is the fabricating of symptoms of mental or
physical disorders for a variety of "secondary gain" motives, which may
include financial compensation (often tied to fraud); avoiding school,
work or military service; obtaining drugs; getting lighter criminal
sentences; or simply to attract attention or sympathy. It is not a medical
diagnosis. It falls under the broader scope of illness behavior.
Perturbation is a deviation of a
system, moving object, or process from its regular or normal state or
path, caused by an outside
influence. Perturbation can also mean anxiety or mental uneasiness.
Fear and Anxiety share same bases in brain. A recent report provides
new evidence that fear and anxiety reflect
overlapping brain circuits. Threat anticipation recruited a remarkably
similar network of brain regions, including the
amygdala and the
BNST. These observations
raise important questions about the
Research Domain Criteria
framework that currently guides the U.S. National Institute of Mental
Health's quest to discover the brain circuitry underlying anxiety
disorders, depression, and other common mental illnesses.
Albert Bandura was responsible for contributions to the
field of education and to several fields of psychology, including social
cognitive theory, therapy, and personality psychology, and was also of
influence in the transition between behaviorism and cognitive psychology.
He is known as the originator of social learning theory (renamed the
social cognitive theory)[citation needed] and the theoretical construct of
self-efficacy, and is also responsible for the influential 1961 Bobo doll
experiment. This Bobo doll experiment demonstrated the concept of
observational learning.
Desensitizing - Coping
Systematic Desensitization also known as graduated
exposure therapy is
a type of behavior therapy used in the field of
psychology to help
effectively overcome phobias and other anxiety disorders. More
specifically, it is a form of counter conditioning, a type of
pavlovian therapy.
Counter-Phobic
Attitude is a response to anxiety that, instead of fleeing
the source of fear in the manner of a phobia, actively seeks out
fear or the source of fear, in
the hope of overcoming the original anxiousness.
Interventions.
Sometimes
when you're nervous, chewing gum or eating something tricks the
primal part of your brain
into thinking that you couldn't be in danger because you're eating.
Counterconditioning is a form of
respondent conditioning that involves the conditioning of an unwanted
behavior or response to a stimulus into a wanted behavior or response by
the association of positive actions with the stimulus. For example, when
training a dog, a person would create a positive response by petting or
calming the dog, when the dog reacts anxiously or nervously to a stimulus.
Therefore this will associate the positive response with the stimulus,
which is also called stimulus substitution.
Programming.
When a
diagnosis is based upon your description of your symptoms, you better
know what you're saying and be able to accurately describe your feelings
because you may be misdiagnosed and be given the wrong type of
treatment.
Anxiety is a series of
questions that you forgot to answer. And when you have answered
those questions accurately, anxiety no longer exists or is
reduced significantly and easily managed. It's better to be
excited when
anticipating a unique moment in time. This way there are no
questions to answer, except after the
experience is over. You
should always be
interested to answer questions instead of feeling anxiety
about what the questions may be or what the answers may be.
After a simple
risk assessment, it's time for you to explore the
experience.
Have fun, and remember that
there are no mistakes, there's only
learning.
Confusion can come from not knowing,
anger can come from not knowing,
depression can come from not knowing,
and a lot of things can come from
not knowing,
so it's time to know.
Confusion is disorder resulting from a failure to behave predictably. Failure to
understand. A mental state characterized by a lack of clear
and orderly thought and behavior. A feeling of embarrassment
that leaves you confused. An act causing a
disorderly
combination of elements with identities lost and distinctions
blended. A mistake that results from taking one thing to be
another.
Misunderstanding
is putting the wrong
interpretation on
something. An understanding of
something that is not correct. To
interpret
something
in the wrong way, or to interpret falsely.
Somatic is
characteristic of the body as opposed to the mind or
spirit.
Embodied Cognition is the concept suggesting that many features of
cognition are shaped by the state and capacities of the organism. The
cognitive features include a wide spectrum of cognitive functions, such as
perception biases, memory recall, comprehension and high-level mental
constructs (such as meaning attribution and categories) and performance on
various cognitive tasks
(reasoning or judgment). The bodily aspects involve the
motor system, the perceptual system, the
bodily interactions with the environment (situatedness), and the
assumptions about the world built the functional structure of organism's
brain and body.
Your ability to
accurately understand incoming
information
depends on how much knowledge and information you have and also the
skills that are needed
to analyze incoming
information accurately, whether the information comes from the body or the
mind. This way you don't have to have a negative reaction to incoming
information, but only a positive reaction,
which includes logicaldecisions that
solves a problem and doesn't add to it.
Experiencing things doesn't necessarily teach you things, you have to
read and educate yourself.
Your mind should sit superior to your body.
You
need to know the difference between paranoia
and Intuition. Intuition is a feeling
that can make you aware of something. Paranoia can cause you to have ill
feelings, which in turn can cause you
to have illogical
thoughts, like a horrible
bi-directional
feedback loop from the senses that
can make reality hard to define.
Tryptophan can help boost your brain's calm mood and
help relax you. Foods like bananas, soy, oats, milk,
cheese, poultry, nuts, peanut butter and sesame seeds,
to name a few, but it's not the same for everyone.
Eating Bad Food can
influence your thinking
and your
motivation. A protein rich diet can make you more tolerant. Eating a
low carb breakfast may make you a more tolerant person. A high carb, high
fat and high sugar diet can make you less tolerant.
Butterflies in the Stomach is the physical sensation in humans of a
"fluttery" feeling in the stomach, caused by a reduction of blood flow to
the organ. This is as a result of the release of
adrenaline in the
fight-or-flight response, which causes increased
heart rate and blood pressure, consequently sending more blood to the
muscles. Feeling Nervous -
Gut Feelings.
Hypothalamic–Pituitary–Adrenal Axis is a complex set of direct
influences and feedback interactions among three components: the
hypothalamus, the
pituitary gland (a
pea-shaped structure located below the thalamus), and the adrenal (also
called "suprarenal") glands (small, conical organs on top of the kidneys).
Immune System affects Mind and Body, study indicates. Immune cells
produce molecule that influences vigilance, alertness in mice. Researchers
have discovered that a molecule produced by the immune system acts on the
brain to change the behavior of mice. Immune molecule --
IL-17 -- is produced by immune cells
residing in areas around the brain, and it could affect brain function
through interactions with neurons to influence anxiety-like behaviors in
mice. L-17 is a cytokine, a signaling molecule that orchestrates the
immune response to infection by activating and directing immune cells.
Jumping Gene found to be strongly linked to depression, fear, and
anxiety. By combining molecular biology with neuroscience, researchers
have found that a well-known gene works to withstand psychiatric stress.
The Tob gene
is related to many different phenomena but working on the brain system is
particularly challenging.
Mendelian Randomization is a method of using measured variation in
genes of known function to examine the causal effect of a modifiable
exposure on disease in observational studies. A method using measured
variation in genes to interrogate the causal effect of an exposure on an
outcome.
Placebo
Effect Psychogenic is an illness
caused by mental or emotional behavioral factors rather than having a
physical origin. Something relating to the mind rather than the body.
Something that originates from the brain instead of other physical organs.
Looking for Attention.
Psychogenic Disease is a disease in which mental stressors cause
physical symptoms of different diseases. The manifestation of physical
symptoms without biologically identifiable causes results from disruptions
of processes in the brain from psychological stress.
Psychosomatic is a physical illness or
other condition caused or aggravated by a mental
factor such as internal conflict or stress
that is relating to the interaction of mind and body.
Weather Pains.
Psychosomatic Medicine is an interdisciplinary medical field
exploring the relationships among social, psychological, and behavioral
factors on bodily processes and quality of life in humans and animals. When mental processes act as a
major factor affecting medical outcomes are areas where psychosomatic
medicine has competence. Hypochondriac.
Psychophysiology is the branch of physiology that is concerned with
the relationship between mental (psyche) and
physical (physiological) processes. It is the scientific study of
the interaction between mind and body.
Psychophysiology measures exist in three domains; reports, readings, and
behavior. Evaluative reports involve participant
introspection and self-ratings of
internal psychological states or physiological sensations, such as
self-report of arousal levels on the
self-assessment manikin, or measures of interoceptive visceral
awareness such as heartbeat detection. Merits to self-report are an
emphasis on accurately understand the participants' subjective experience
and understanding their perception; however, its pitfalls include the
possibility of participants misunderstanding a scale or incorrectly
recalling events. Physiological responses also can be measured via
instruments that read bodily events such as heart rate change,
electrodermal activity (EDA), muscle tension, and cardiac output. Many
indices are part of modern psychophysiology, including brain waves
(electroencephalography, EEG), fMRI (functional magnetic resonance
imaging), electrodermal activity (a standardized term encompassing skin
conductance response, SCR, and galvanic skin response, GSR),
cardiovascular measures (heart rate, HR; beats per minute, BPM; heart rate
variability, HRV; vasomotor activity), muscle activity (electromyography,
EMG), electrogastrogram (EGG) changes in pupil diameter with thought and
emotion (pupillometry), eye movements, recorded via the electro-oculogram
(EOG) and direction-of-gaze methods, and cardiodynamics, recorded via
impedance cardiography. These measures are beneficial because they provide
accurate and perceiver-independent objective data recorded by machinery.
The downsides, however, are that any physical activity or motion can alter
responses, and basal levels of arousal and responsiveness can differ among
individuals and even between situations. Finally, one can measure overt
action or behavior, which involves the observation and recording actual
actions, such as running, freezing, eye movement, and facial expression.
These are good response measures and easy to record in animals, but they
are not as frequently used in human studies.
Mind-Body Medicine focuses on the
interactions among the brain, mind, body, and behavior, and the powerful
ways in which emotional, mental, social, spiritual, and behavioral factors
can directly affect health. Mind–body techniques include relaxation,
hypnosis, visual imagery, meditation, biofeedback, cognitive–behavioral
therapies, group support, and spirituality as well as expressive arts
therapies such as art, music, or dance. The mind-body connection is how
your body responds to stress. Constant worry and stress over jobs,
finances, or other problems can cause tense muscles, pain, headaches, and
stomach problems. It may also lead to high blood pressure or other serious
problems.
Psychoneuroimmunology is the study of the interaction between
psychological processes and the
nervous system and
immune system of the human body. PNI
takes an interdisciplinary approach, incorporating psychology,
neuroscience, immunology, physiology, genetics, pharmacology, molecular
biology, psychiatry, behavioral medicine, infectious diseases,
endocrinology, and rheumatology. The main interests of PNI are the
interactions between the nervous and immune systems and the relationships
between mental processes and health. PNI studies, among other things, the
physiological functioning of the neuroimmune system in health and disease;
disorders of the neuroimmune system (autoimmune diseases;
hypersensitivities; immune deficiency); and the physical, chemical and
physiological characteristics of the components of the neuroimmune system
in vitro, in situ, and in vivo.
Biopsychosocial Model is an inter-disciplinary model that looks at the
interconnection between biology, psychology, and socio-environmental
factors. The model specifically examines how these aspects play a role in
topics ranging from health and disease, to human development. The
biopsychosocial model reflects the development of illness through the
complex interaction of biological factors (genetic, biochemical, etc.),
psychological factors (mood, personality, behavior, etc.) and social
factors (cultural, familial, socioeconomic, medical, etc.) Specifically,
Engel revolutionized medical thinking by re-proposing a separation of
body and mind. The idea of mind–body
dualism goes back at least to René Descartes, but was forgotten during the
biomedical approach. Engel emphasized that the biomedical approach is
flawed because the body alone does not contribute to illness. Instead, the
individual mind (psychological and social factors) plays a significant
role in how an illness is caused and how it is treated. Engel proposes a
dialogue between the patient and the doctor in order to find the most
effective treatment solution.
Biofeedback is the technique of gaining greater awareness of many
physiological functions of one's own body by using electronic or other
instruments, and with a goal of being able to manipulate the body's
systems at will. Humans conduct biofeedback naturally all the time, at
varied levels of consciousness and intentionality. Biofeedback and the
biofeedback loop can also be thought of as self-regulation. Some of the
processes that can be controlled include brainwaves, muscle tone, skin
conductance, heart rate and pain perception. Biofeedback may be used to
improve health, performance, and the physiological changes that often
occur in conjunction with changes to thoughts, emotions, and behavior.
Biosignal is any signal in living beings that can be continually
measured and monitored.
Electrodermal Activity is the property of the
human body that
causes continuous variation in the electrical characteristics of the
skin. Historically, EDA has also been
known as
skin conductance,
galvanic skin response, electrodermal response,
psychogalvanic reflex, skin conductance response,
sympathetic skin response or
SSR and skin conductance level. The
long history of research into the active and passive electrical properties
of the skin by a variety of disciplines has resulted in an excess of
names, now standardized to electrodermal activity or EDA. The traditional
theory of EDA holds that skin resistance varies with the state of sweat
glands in the skin. Sweating is controlled by the
sympathetic nervous system,
and skin conductance is an indication of psychological or physiological
arousal. If the sympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system is
highly aroused, then sweat gland activity also increases, which in turn
increases skin conductance. In this way, skin conductance can be a measure
of emotional and sympathetic responses. More recent research and
additional phenomena (resistance, potential, impedance, electrochemical
skin conductance, and admittance, sometimes responsive and sometimes
apparently spontaneous) suggest that EDA is more complex than it seems,
and research continues into the source and significance of EDA. EDA is a
common measure of autonomic
nervous system activity, with a long history of being used in
psychological research. Many biofeedback therapy devices utilize EDA as an
indicator of the user's stress response with the goal of helping the user
to control anxiety.
E-Meter,
originally the electropsychometer, is an
electronic device for displaying the electrodermal activity of a human
being. The efficacy and legitimacy of Scientology's use of the E-meter has
been subject to extensive litigation, and, in accordance with a federal
court order, the Church of
Scientology publishes disclaimers declaring that the E-meter "by
itself does nothing", is incapable of improving health, and is used
specifically for spiritual purposes. EDA meters were first developed in
1889 in Russia, and psychotherapists began using them as tools for therapy
in the 1900s.
Acupuncture.
Signals in your brain that tell you when It's time to move. A new
study examines how the brain initiates spontaneous actions. In addition to
demonstrating how spontaneous action emerges
without environmental input, this study has implications for the
origins of slow ramping of neural activity before movement onset--a
commonly-observed but poorly understood phenomenon. They simulated
spontaneous activity in simple neural networks and compared this simulated
activity to intracortical recordings of humans when they moved
spontaneously. The study results suggest something striking: many rapidly
fluctuating neurons can interact in a network to give rise to very slow
fluctuations at the level of the population.
Functional Disorder is a medical condition that impairs normal
functioning of bodily processes that remains largely undetected under
examination, dissection or even under a microscope. At the exterior, there
is no appearance of abnormality. This stands in contrast to a structural
disorder (in which some part of the body can be seen to be abnormal) or a
psychosomatic disorder (in which symptoms are caused by psychological or
psychiatric illness). Definitions vary somewhat between fields of
medicine. Generally, the mechanism that causes a functional disorder is
unknown, poorly understood, or occasionally unimportant for treatment
purposes. The brain or nerves are often believed to be involved. It is
common that a person with one functional disorder will have others.
The brain and body is
designed to like things that we think
are good for us and designed to not like things
that we think are bad for us. These indicators are necessary for human
life to be enjoyable and
self motivating.
But these innate indicators of pleasure are not always accurate. We might
like things that are bad for us and
not like things that are good for
us. So it's not a perfect system, especially if the person is ignorant or
undereducated, like most people are. Just because it
feels
good or tastes good
does not guarantee that it is good for you, or without
risk.
Our thoughts alter our tactile perception. If we sincerely believe
that our index finger is five times bigger than it really is, our sense of
touch improves. Researchers demonstrated that this is the case in an
experiment in which the participants were put under professional
hypnosis. When the participants
signaled that they understood the opposite
hypnotic suggestion that their
index finger was five times smaller than it actually was, their sense of
touch deteriorated accordingly. The study shows that our tactile
perception is affected and can be altered by our mental processes.
Anhedonia is a diverse array of deficits in
hedonic
function, including reduced motivation
or ability to experience pleasure. While earlier definitions of anhedonia
emphasized the inability to experience pleasure, anhedonia is used by
researchers to refer to reduced motivation, reduced anticipatory pleasure
(wanting), reduced consummatory pleasure
(liking), and deficits in reinforcement learning.
The Human Project is a research
platform that serves as a public resource for learning everything possible
about the connections between our minds, bodies, and environment to enable
the development of new theories, therapeutics, and policy recommendations
to solve the toughest societal challenges facing us today.
Motion Sickness
is a condition in which a disagreement exists between visually perceived
movement and the
vestibular system's sense of movement. Depending on the cause, it can
also be referred to as seasickness, car sickness, simulation sickness,
kinetosis, travel sickness, or airsickness.
Dizziness.
Neural basis of a Mind-Body Connection. Neural networks connect the
cerebral cortex to the adrenal medulla, which is responsible for the
body's rapid response in stress, depression and other mental states that
can alter organ function.
Adrenal Medulla is part of the
adrenal gland. It is located at the
center of the gland, being surrounded by the adrenal cortex. It is the
innermost part of the adrenal gland, consisting of cells that secrete
epinephrine (adrenaline), norepinephrine (noradrenaline), and a small
amount of dopamine in response to stimulation by sympathetic preganglionic
neurons. Rather than releasing a neurotransmitter, the cells of the
adrenal medulla
secrete
hormones.
Not only do we need to accurately
interpret what other
people are saying, but we need to know how to accurately interpret our own
thoughts. Not only do you need to carefully listen when other people are
speaking, but you also need to
carefully listen to
your thoughts and what you are thinking. You also need to understand the
underlying meaning of your
thoughts. This is why awareness needs to be
fully understood. It's more then a conscience
or an operating system,
it's an important ability that needs to be fully understood in order for
it to benefit you, otherwise it's a wasted gift.
When the body is stressed or has infections, the body causes you
to feel bad and feel that something is wrong and not right, that's because
the body wants you to know that something is bad and that something is
happening inside you that is wrong, and the body wants you to know this so
that you can take the necessary actions that would improve the health of
your body and relive the dangers that the body is facing. But this body
mind communication is not understood by most people. There is no human
manual that would explain the language that the body uses to communicate
to the mind, or shows you how to accurately interpret the signals that the
body is generating. That human manual is being built here on this website.
But this human manual is still a work in progress and not the finished product, but soon.
Calm Mind, Calm Body.
Hidden Linkages: Scientists Find Mind-Body Connection Is Built Into Brain.
Researchers have discovered a connection between the brain areas
controlling movement and those involved in
thinking, planning, and involuntary bodily functions like
blood pressure and
heartbeat. The findings suggest a literal linkage between body and mind in
the brain’s structure. Researchers named this newly identified network the
Somato-Cognitive Action Network or SCAN.
This study may help explain phenomena such as anxiety-induced pacing, the
effects of vagus nerve stimulation on
depression, and the positive outlook reported by regular
exercisers.
Pacing is walking at a steady and consistent speed, especially back
and forth and as an expression of one's anxiety or annoyance.
Psychomotor Agitation is a symptom in various disorders and health
conditions. It is characterized by unintentional and
purposeless motions and
restlessness, often but not always accompanied by emotional distress.
Mind-Body Interface alternates with effector-specific regions in motor
cortex. The motor cortex or M1 has been thought to form a continuous
somatotopichomunculus extending down the
precentral gyrus from foot to
face representations, despite evidence for concentric functional zones3
and maps of complex actions4. Here, using precision functional magnetic
resonance imaging methods, we find that the classic homunculus is
interrupted by regions with distinct connectivity, structure and function,
alternating with effector-specific (foot, hand and mouth) areas. These
inter-effector regions exhibit decreased cortical thickness and strong
functional connectivity to each other, as well as to the cingulo-opercular
network, critical for action5 and physiological control, arousal, errors8
and pain9. This interdigitation of action control-linked and motor
effector regions was verified in the three largest fMRI datasets. Macaque
and pediatric (newborn, infant and child) precision fMRI suggested
cross-species homologues and developmental precursors of the
inter-effector system. A battery of motor and action fMRI tasks documented
concentric effector somatotopies, separated by the CON-linked
inter-effector regions. The inter-effectors lacked movement specificity
and co-activated during action planning (coordination of hands and feet)
and axial body movement (such as of the abdomen or eyebrows). These
results, together with previous studies demonstrating stimulation-evoked
complex actions4 and connectivity to internal organs10 such as the adrenal
medulla, suggest that M1 is punctuated by a system for whole-body action
planning, the somato-cognitive action network (SCAN). In M1, two parallel
systems intertwine, forming an integrate–isolate pattern:
effector-specific regions (foot, hand and mouth) for isolating
fine motor control and the SCAN for
integrating goals, physiology and body movement. Primary motor cortex area
is considered the main source of signals that control voluntary movements.
Somato-cognitive action network alternates with effector regions in motor
cortex.
The brain's motor cortex
appears to link control of specific muscles with information about the
entire body and brain. As a result, the act of reaching for a cup of
coffee can directly influence blood pressure and heart rate. And the
movement is seamlessly integrated into brain systems involved in planning,
goals and emotion. The new view of primary motor
cortex may help explain how the brain solves a difficult problem, Even
simple movements require nuanced control of all organ systems, such as
controlling heart rate, blood pressure and controlling fight and flight
responses. So it makes sense that the same ribbon of brain tissue involved
in a movement like standing up would be connected to all those other brain
areas. A system that weaves together movement and mental states also could
explain why our posture changes with our mood, or why exercise tends to
make us feel better. How you move can have an impact on how you feel. And
how you feel is going to have an impact on how you move.

Reboot - Reset - Start Again
Reboot is to cause
a machine to reload an operating
system and start from the initial
processes, usually by
powering off and then
turning back on. Like going to
sleep and then waking up refreshed. Now where was I?
Reboot in computing is the process by which a running
computer system
is restarted, either intentionally or unintentionally. Turned off and then
turned back on.
Reset in computing clears any pending
errors or events
and brings a system to normal condition or an initial state, usually in a
controlled manner. It is usually done in response to an error condition
when it is impossible or undesirable for a processing activity to proceed
and all error recovery mechanisms fail.
System Restore allows a computer user to revert
their computer's current state to a previous point in time when the
computer was operating and
functioning normally. Can be
used to recover from system malfunctions or other problems, including
system files, installed applications, Windows Registry, and system
settings.
A 'Factory Reset' for the brain may cure anxiety, drinking behavior, study
suggests. Gene editing reverses brain genetic reprogramming caused by
adolescent binge drinking. The researchers used a gene-editing tool called
CRISPR-dCas9 in their experiments to manipulate the histone acetylation
and methylation processes at the Arc gene in models of adult rats. Early
binge drinking can have long-lasting and significant effects on the brain
and the results of this study offer evidence that gene editing is a
potential antidote to these effects, offering a kind of factory reset for
the brain.
Born
Again is to experience a
spiritual rebirth or a
regeneration of the human spirit.
The mind doesn't stop thinking. The
mind is always processing information. The brain was designed that way,
it's always on, except for when we sleep. The brain goes on
standby mode when we sleep, but the mind is
not off, the brain is just doing other things while you
sleep. And after
sleeping, you usually
wake up
slowly. You have to boot up first, and sometimes you have to
reboot the
mind a couple of times until you're feel
fully awake and aware. So you
need to know what you're rebooting to. How do you
know if you are the exact same person
that you were yesterday? Something could have change in your thinking
and you wouldn't even know it. Maybe you should have a list of questions
to ask yourself. And the answers will confirm that you are who you say you
are. Like a password or secret phrase. And you also have to do a body
check. Sometimes we wake up on the wrong side of
the bed. You may wake up feeling weird. Maybe from not sleeping
enough, or because of crazy dreams you had, or maybe it's some physical
imbalance, and the body
is telling you that you have an imbalance. So you're going to feel a
little weird until your body can fix the imbalance. So you don't want to
ignore your body, your body may be telling you something important. But
you also don't want the body to influence your thinking or cloud your
thinking. So you have to try to understand what the body is telling you.
Your body may need certain nutrients, rest or exercise. Remember, a sound
mind needs a sound body. So you must stay in control your mind, it's your
last defense. If you're not thinking clearly, then you could make mistakes
that can make things worse. So stay alert and
keep educating yourself.
Waking up on the wrong side of the bed
means that for some reason you wake up in a bad mood or in a foul mood,
and you may feel irritable or grumpy or have a negative attitude. You may
feel tired, unhappy, uncomfortable or little stressed out, or feel like
your in an emotional haze. This phrase or saying is thought to originated
from the romans. Romans were very careful always to get up on the correct
side of the bed to ensure that good luck would follow them through their
days.
When you wake up, how do you
find yourself? Where
are you located? How do you verify
if there has been any changes that may
have occurred since yesterday. We take for granted that we are the
same person that we were yesterday. But we are always developing, so how
do you confirm if you are developing in the right way? Are you carrying
any negativity from yesterday? Are you improved in someway since
yesterday? How do you know that you woke up on the right-side of the bed
when you're not totally sure what the right side is or what the wrong side
is.
Booting
is the process of starting a computer. It
can be initiated by hardware such as a button press, or by a software
command. After it is switched on, a computer's central processing unit
or CPU has no software in its main memory, so some process must load
software into memory before it can be executed. This may be done by
hardware or firmware in the CPU, or by a separate processor in the
computer system.
Boot
Loaders is a small program that starts a sequence that is known as a
bootstrap loader, bootstrap or boot loader. This small program's only job
is to load other data and programs which are then executed from RAM.
Often, multiple-stage boot loaders are used, during which several programs
of increasing complexity load one after the other in a process of chain
loading.
Multi-Booting or Dual Boot System is the act of
installing multiple operating systems on a
computer, and being able to choose which one to boot. The term
dual-booting refers to the common configuration of specifically two
operating systems. Multi-booting may require a custom boot loader.
Hibernation in computing is powering down a computer while retaining
its state. When hibernation begins, the computer saves the contents of its
random access memory to a hard disk or other non-volatile storage. When
the computer is turned on the RAM is restored and the computer is exactly
as it was before entering hibernation.
Standby Mode is a power management state that saves the state of
the system and peripheral devices in Random Access Memory. Power
consumption reduces to a minimum, and the system remains turned on. To
return the system to the active state, press any key or the POWER switch
on the computer.
Sleep
Mode is a low power mode to save on electrical consumption compared to
leaving a device fully on and, upon resume, allow the user to avoid having
to reissue instructions or to wait for a machine to boot. The processing
functions of the machine are lowered, using a trickle of power to preserve
the contents of RAM and support waking up.
Safe Mode
is a diagnostic
mode of a
computer operating system (OS). It can also refer to a mode of
operation by application software. In Windows, safe mode only allows
essential system programs and services to start up at boot. Safe mode is
intended to help fix most, if not all problems within an operating system.
It is also widely used for removing rogue security software.
Crash in computing occurs when a computer
program, such as a software application or an
operating system,
stops functioning properly and exits. The program responsible may appear
to hang until a crash reporting service reports the crash and any details
relating to it. If the program is a critical part of the operating system,
the entire system may crash or hang, often resulting in a kernel panic or
fatal system error. Most crashes are the result of
executing
invalid machine instructions. Typical causes include incorrect address
values in the program counter, buffer overflow, overwriting a portion of
the affected program code due to an earlier bug, accessing invalid memory
addresses, using an illegal opcode or triggering an unhandled exception.
The original software bug that started this chain of events is typically
considered to be the cause of the crash, which is discovered through the
process of debugging. The original bug can be far removed from the code
that actually crashed. In earlier personal computers, attempting to
write data to hardware addresses outside the
system's main memory could cause hardware damage. Some crashes are
exploitable and let a malicious program or hacker to execute arbitrary
code allowing the replication of
viruses or the
acquisition of data which would normally be inaccessible.
Mental Breakdowns are in some ways like a
Computer System Crashing. Sometimes on the
Reboot there's a loss of information. Retrieving that information is important to being yourself
again. That is, if you truly knew yourself to begin with. You have to
Know yourself and know the key attributes that make you
who you are. Know these characteristics and know the words that describe
these characteristics. You may have to reboot someday and recall who you were.
Borked your computer means that the PC is
broken or wrongly designed or configured and no longer functions properly,
which means that you may have to completely reinstall the operating system
as if it were a new machine.
Software Bug
is an error, flaw, failure or fault in a computer program or system that
causes it to produce an incorrect or unexpected result, or to behave in
unintended ways. The process of fixing bugs is termed "debugging"
and often uses formal techniques or tools to pinpoint bugs, and since the
1950s, some computer systems have been designed to also deter, detect or
auto-correct various computer bugs during operations.
Debugging is the process of finding and resolving defects or problems
within a computer program that prevent correct operation of computer
software or a system. Debugging tactics can involve interactive debugging,
control flow analysis,
unit
testing,
integration testing,
log file
analysis, monitoring at the application or system level, memory dumps,
and
profiling, which is a form of
dynamic program analysis that measures, for example, the space
(memory) or time complexity of a program, the usage of particular
instructions, or the frequency and duration of function calls. Most
commonly, profiling information serves to aid program optimization.
Profiling is achieved by instrumenting either the program
source code or
its binary executable form using a tool called a profiler (or code
profiler). Profilers may use a number of different techniques, such as
event-based, statistical, instrumented, and simulation methods.
To Turn Over A New Leaf means to start a
new life again or to change your behavior in a positive way.
Reboot in fiction film signifies a new start to an established
fictional universe,
work, or series. A reboot discards continuity to re-create its characters,
plotlines and backstory
from the beginning. It has been described as a way to "rebrand" or "restart
an entertainment universe that has already been established". Another
definition of a reboot is a remake which is part of an established film
series or other media franchise. The term has been criticised for being a
vague and "confusing"
"buzzword", and a neologism for remake, a concept which has been losing
popularity since the 2010s. William Proctor proposes that there is a
distinction between reboots, remakes and retcons.
Reset
Button Technique is a
plot device that
interrupts continuity in works of fiction. Simply put, use of a reset
button device returns all characters and situations to the
status quo they held
before a major change of some sort was introduced. Typically it occurs
either in the middle of a program and negates a portion of it, or it
occurs at the beginning, or very end, of a program to negate all that came
before it.
The Big Reboot is
Coming. Stepping back and starting over, right from the very
beginning, at the exact moment when the first bit of information was
received. We are still preserving our original information during the
reboot, but this time, we define the information line by line, file by
file, all the way done to every single living organism. This will be done
using world
coalitions from all over the planet. This may take some time, but
humans have the ability to
control time by
understanding the rules and laws of nature.
All the things that are happening in my life are
sometimes mind blowing and overwhelming. I'm just amazed by
everything that is happening around me, like I'm in the middle
of all these different things happening all at once, or
perceived to be happening all at once. It's not what happens in
the world, It's how you react to the world.
You can't control
everything, but you do need to control some of the things that
are important, like stress. If you can't control
stress, you
will physically and mentally hurt yourself. You have to do what
ever it takes to reset, relax and reaffirm. Sit quietly or
meditate,
read
affirmations, do some yoga, remember to sleep, remember to exercise, remember to
explore, remember to do something fun, and remember to read your
goals and to read your things to do list. And Know the reasons why
you're doing the things that you do. Reaffirm and reevaluate. Keep
track of your accomplishments, and manage your time effectively
and efficiently as possible. There are going to be bad days. You've had bad days before. So you have to keep learning and keep
exercising your control. Remind yourself of the controls that you
have over the outside world, as well as the inside world.
Your
memory must never be taken for granted, for there are many
distractions everywhere. And don't ever punish yourself for
making mistakes, just keep learning.
