HOW TO FEEL BETTER 落ち込んでる時・ストレスしてるときは

To current me,
今の私へ、

The world is complicated and stressful. Sometimes its too much to handle and it
swirls you into depression.
It's so hard to find inner peace within  a world always pushing you to take quick action.

この世の中は複雑である。私は特にストレスしすぐ妄想してしまう性格であるので
いっつもこのストレスで落ち込んでしまいます。
この環境の中で、ある意味の「静か」「平和」を保つのが難しい。

Here are some ways I take my mind of this chaotic environment:
私はこの落ち込んだ・混乱してる頭を静かにするために様々な方法を扱っています:

1. TEA or COFFEE 紅茶・珈琲
まぁなんの飲み物でもいいんですけど、特に私は紅茶か珈琲になります。
科学的に証明されている効果もありますけど、私は紅茶や珈琲を飲むときはじっくり
味会うことができるので、すぐ頭がスローダウンします。
Any drink is okay to be honest, but I specifically love coffee and tea (both equally).
There does seem to be some apparent scientifically proven benefits to these
beverages but overall I like slowing down my brain with really taking in the
taste of coffee or tea. So therapeutic

2. MUSIC 音楽
これも科学的効果があるといわれています。好きなジャンルや歌手を選び、ベッドの上
で目をつぶり聞くのが多いです。特にゆっくりしてる曲は心をゆっくりしてくれますね。
今好きなバンドはTAME IMPALA というバンドで、オーストラリアからのサイケデリック
のロックバンドです。是非聞いてみてください。
There seems to be scientific benefits to this also! I love to just pick a genre or an
artist and lie down and close my eyes. Especially slow and less energetic songs
really slows down and calms my mind.
Currently, I love listening to Tame Impala, an Australian psychedelic rock band
thats becoming more and more popular these days due to their unique
60s psychedelic rock-like sound. (i love themmm!!!)

3. REASSURANCE &SUPPORT
これはもう少し頭の調整っというか、考え方しだいですね。落ち込んでるときは特に
「自分だけどうしてこんな状況なの」などを考えるのが多いと思います。だけど、よく
考えるとみんな人生というバトルを戦ってるわけですから、そのチャレンジを前向き
に向き合うか向き合わないかによって色々結果が変わると思います。
これは自分が落ち込んでるときには気付くのは難しいので、勿論周りにいる人たちから
サポートを得てもらうのもいいかもしれません(相談は大事!)。家族や友達以外でも
ネットでもたくさんサポートを得られますね!
This is more rather related to your mentality. Sometimes when I'm depressed I
think that I'm the only one in my situation. But thinking about, I begin to realise
that everyone is fighting a battle. Its whether you face that battle in a positive
or negative matter that really alters the outcomes of the situation.
Sometimes its hard to realise these things. So talking to someone, gaining support,
is quite crucial also to realise things. Not only family and friends but there are tons
people writing articles to help with nearly everything.

4. SLEEP 睡眠
30分でも12時間でもいいので、とにかく寝る。頭が色々なネガティブな思想で混雑
してるときはそれから抜けるのが難しい、解決策を考えるのが困難。その時、電源をオフ
にし、新しい頭で物事を考えなおす。
Whether it be 30 minutes or 12hours, I think its important to sleep. When your
brain is in this negative mode with pessimistic thoughts swirling through your
head its extremely difficult to get out of that habit and find a solution. Thus in this
situation, sometimes its really beneficial to just switch off and rethink things over
with a new brain (??)

5. CLEANING 掃除
掃除?っと思いますけど、これは私にとってすごい効果的です。机が汚いときとかベッド
が汚いときはどうすればいいかわからなくなってしまいます。そういうときはきれいに
すると頭もきれいになると思います。書類があればそれをカテゴリーに分けるなど、
物理的に環境を整えることによって精神的にも整うかもしれません。
I know cleaning is seen as a chore, but sometimes its really good for me. When
my bed or desk is dirty, I get overwhelmed and have no idea what to do or where
to start. So when you are in this situation, by cleaning your area, I think it cleans
your mind as well. For example, sorting your documents into specific categories
physically can perhaps sort your brain out mentally.!


6. WRITING 書くこと
実は私今かなりストレスしてます。こういうときに開放的な行為は書くことです。
なんでもいいのです。ブログ投稿や紙で頭の中の思考を書くことなど、様々な方法が
ありますが、とにかく書くこと。掃除と同じで目の前で何をしなければいけないなど
何が頭の中に入ってることを理解することによって、頭もじょじょにそれを解析し
解決方法を探せると思います。私にとって書くのはもっとも重要なことであります。
To be honest, I am very stressed at the moment. So  I decided to write.
Anything is fine, whether it be a blog post or pen to paper, writing all the thoughts
in your head or the things you have to do, or even the emotions you are feeling.
Similar to the cleaning situation, I guess really physically seeing the things in your
mind helps to understand and helps your brain analyse the situation, finding a
solution to that situation.

みんなストレスを感じると思います。その中で強く、積極的に戦うのがいい結果を生ませ
ると思います。

Everyone experiences stress at some point, at least that's what I think. It is the
ability to positively and strongly fight in this situation that determines the outcomes.


GOOD LUCK

Is there an emotional brain? Pt.1(intro)

Is there an emotional brain? As much as we like simplicity in models of science, and the locationist view makes things easier for us to understand, research points to the answer that emotions are not localized to one specific brain region or circuit.  The limbic system hypothesis was put forth by Paul MacLean in the 1950s (although some theories led up to this prior such as the Papez circuit). It divides the more deeply fundamental structures with those that are thought to have developed further on in evolution, in ‘higher’ mammals. The limbic system is one component of the triune brain theory that divides the brain up into the neocortex, mammalian brain and reptilian brain. The reptilian brain is proposed to be in charge of responses for survival such as breathing and heart rate. The reptilian brain is called so due to its structures being found also in reptiles. The limbic system is thought to have developed later in evolution and is commonly thought to be the mammalian brain.

history

Sometimes I think to myself whether all of what we are searching for, will be frowned upon in the future, will be laughed at for all of our efforts As this may be some kind of crazy movement created by delusional people. But this shouldn't stunt us from the curiosities and the explorations within the world we are in now. Some beliefs in the past may seem crazy to us now... but this is just humans trying to explain the world from what they see, from the information that we have. And that is the hesitance that comes from scientists making a statement definitive. Because all of this 'truth' may not be so when future explorers look back at our work, But knowing that the reason they stand in their 'developed' position is because we did exploring for   them, into uncertain waters that are clear as ever to them in their present moment.

its like

i have voices inside my head but then i have a consciousness over that voice inside my head that tells me that these are just voices inside my head. its tiring
