TED Talks Daily · Feeling stressed? The answer isn’t to “just relax” | Aditi Nerurkar · 28 Apr 2025 podcast

I mean, we are all guilty of this, including me.

I mean, I know all of the science and yet I'm a mere mortal, right?

Like trying to make it through this.

era of life that is very challenging for all of us for lots of different reasons.

And so a movement meditation of just walking through, you know, try for five minutes a day or even two minutes if you can try.

Just walk, think about your feet on the floor, think about your posture as you're holding yourself up.

And it could be also helpful because it, again, brings you out of, you know, all three principles help you

by getting out of that what if thinking, thinking about the future and those anxious thoughts back to what is and being very present and grounded in the here and the now.

Over time, I will say, all of these strategies seem so simple.

You know, you think like, well, how is this really going to help me?

But in fact, everything that you do, like all of these strategies, you start bringing them into your life a little bit, you know, over time, they actively change your brain.

and they change your brain because of a process called neuroplasticity.

I will try not to use these big scientific words because I know like people's eyes glaze over when I say neuroplasticity, you're like, oh my God, it's too long of a word.

Neuroplasticity simply means that your brain is a muscle just like your biceps.

And so the same way that you would train your bicep, right?

Like if you wanted to have bigger biceps, you would lift weights.

And so in the same way, you want to train your brain.

And so

Neuroplasticity, we used to think, old thinking was that your brain, the brain you got at birth is the brain you got for life, you know, real grab bag.

Now we know that your brain actively changes and evolves and grows based on external stimuli.
