Week 53 Wanderings (11-16-23)

A Podcast on Anxiety

Shelby Stranger hosts James Nestor, author of Breath.

33 minutes podcast with James Nestor. After literal years of research Breath was the book that closed the loop on sleep improvement. Nothing else had worked except the tip I learned from this book – mouth tape. Along the way (8 hours of audio) I learned a plethora of applicable things about quality of life directly linked to the way we breath. Crazy.

This podcast is a condensed version, just as high quality. Stuff covered:
-Origins of stress
-Roles of O2 vs CO2 and how they affect our running capabilities
-Sleep improvement
-Snoring management

Transformative.

A Podcast for Climbers (Athletes)

My roommate turned me on to this podcast a few weeks ago. It opened my eyes up to the different ways the body uses energy for different intervals.

0-10 seconds – Peak power output (alactic)
10-70 seconds – High power slightly sustained (lactic)
70 seconds – hours/days – Aerobic

You can train each individually and cater to your sport.

A Juicy Quote

“The more the give to yourself the more you can ask of yourself”
Source: Unknown

I’m not certain where this quote came from, but 6 months ago a good friend told me about it and it popped in to my head. It is helpful advice to be kinder to yourself.

Life Changing Idea

4 minutes on some incredible wisdom on the way we process and let go of thoughts by Sadhguru, founder of the Isha Foundation in India.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

My name is Colin and I like to ramble about life. My mom tells me I’m special and I think the Officials are starting to believe her. I like reading (mostly picture books) and telling people they’re wrong. If you figure this life thing out, pls let me know, it’s a toughie.

You can hear me talk (read?) more about myself here.

Thanks for reading, nerds. If you liked this and you’re not a total loser u should sign up for my Newsletter (unless you actually aren’t a loser, then don’t sign up, it’s not good anyways)

I like the simplicity and conciseness of your choice of inspirational themes you shared. It gives me room to think about how the ideas apply to my own life and in relation to other people.

  I’m glad it was helpful 🙂
  
  And that is definitely the goal.
  
  I hate when I read stuff and people basically dictate how they want you to think. Oh think this. Oh think that. But doesn’t allow the viewer to experience how the information seeps in to their own lives. With the application of info it just feels like ideas are in one ear out the other.
