Huberman Lab · Unlearn Negative Thoughts & Behaviors Patterns | Dr. Alok Kanojia · 2 Mar 2026 podcast

You know, I don't like to work.

I work seven days a week, but it's not work.

The only way I can work seven days a week is to shape my experience of the thing.

And this is what a lot of people don't realize.

There's a fascinating theory that I think is somewhat true called the theory of constructed emotion.

So I forget who's the person who's the pioneer of it, but it's sort of this idea that we think that when something happens to us, the emotion is automatic, but we actually construct that emotion.

We have a hand in how we receive the world around us.

So people can criticize you, but you can take it constructively.

The way that you mentally respond to something is huge.

So when we're doing a sankalpa, when we're doing yoga nidra, are we burning away samskaras?

Sure.

The samskara is the negative emotional programming, the adaptation that we made.

So it'll burn that stuff away.

So you will be free of that stuff.

But that's not what I would do that practice for.

It's really to put a positive thing in there.

And by having a being statement, it may somehow counteract.

I think this is where like my science had, I can't be precise enough.

I sort of know that how a Sunkulp works.

I've used it for myself.
