From the alcohol minimalist podcast, think Thursday is all about your beautiful, brilliant human brain. We're talking neuroscience. We're talking behavior change. We are talking about your mindset. Are you ready to get started? Let's go.\n \nHello and welcome to think Thursday from alcohol minimalist. These episodes are all about brain health. They are about neuroscience, and they are about your mindset. And today's episode, it's dropping on Thursday, October 31 so Happy Halloween. But more importantly, I wanted to talk about really remaining calm and helping us be less stressed today. Because let's face it, if you live here in the United States right now, there is a lot going on and with the upcoming election next week and all the uncertainty that surrounds it, many of us are feeling kind of an extra edge of stress and potentially some anxiety and worry about what's next. \n \nAnd so I wanted to offer something simple and accessible to help manage that tension, a practice that's literally proven to reduce stress, build emotional resilience and support overall brain health. And so, you know, emotional resilience and brain health, these are things we talk about all the time around here, because they are ultimately what helps us create the habits that we want to have in our lives and to stop or break those unbreakable habits that are no longer serving us, like for many of you, your your drinking habits, right? That's why you're here. \n \nI really have a very deep interest in neuroscience and in understanding how my brain works, and it's one of the reasons that I feel like that's kind of what helped me create this peaceful relationship with alcohol that I have, was really diving into that and so understanding how important our how important our beautiful, brilliant brains are, how much agency we have in becoming more emotionally resilient that is so important to me. And so that's what really again, a part of why think Thursdays are...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/zu3PtA3XzNKb2qSH95OKvfAaoixqds182Hao41kpkws/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8wZjY5/NjVmY2Y2MGQ0NmMx/NGNiMzdiZGY0OTMz/OWQzMy5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
