Thinking about moving our stress response system.
I call that stress fitness.
We wanna move flexibly through the day.
We don't wanna stay in yellow mind.
Of course, we don't wanna stay in an acute stress response either.
The stress response is extremely expensive energetically.
It uses up so much ATP or energy.
And so it's exhausting.
By the end of the day, if we've had a lot of these peak red mind states, we will inevitably feel exhausted and depleted.
And that's why it's so important to have these breaks during the day and getting out of red and yellow mind.
Green mind is a state of relaxation.
We love to call it green mind to remind us that nature attunes us toward automatic or let's say passive relaxation that we don't have to work hard to have our body let down the stress response and release when we are in a natural environment and we feel safe.
And then the blue mind state
is the state of deep rest.
And I really think that there's magic to blue mind states biologically.
This is when we release the most powerful healing mechanisms in ourselves.
And this is also the state that we get the least.
If you look at your typical week, Rangan, how much do you spend in blue mind states during the day?
Right.
It's a beautiful rhythm of the day and you're integrating so many of the critical micro-interventions in that day.
