Spirituality: Disagreeing Respectfully from The Happy Brain Podcast
I think she is confusing serotonin and dopamin. Dopamin rewards competing and winning.
Its like a video game .. we in a simulation even the animals
I started working out about 3 to 4 times a week on June 1st (had not done this in a while), then I started drinking 1 once of water for 2lbs of weight everyday (new), well 4 weeks ago, I signed up for a stretching and weight class(new). The lower body stretching down my left side was painful, thru my lower left side, which I believed in when I kicked off and endorphin rush, which is a brain chemical that reduces the feeling of pain. I finished the workout and went to hit golf balls (new) before work. On the way to the golf course I was a little tired as all the exercises were new, but happy, because I knew the stretching was going to help me stay loose. I did not really hit the golf balls particularly well, but I started feeling a complete euphoric happy state, I felt every feel good emotion in my body( love, compassion, since of direction, no pain, no worries). A complete state of bliss that stayed with me for 24 hours…. Two weeks later I took the class again and different exercises but the same stretching and it happened again, but it didn’t stay with me for an entire 24 hours, I had a lot work that day, but it didn’t affect my mood and I was able to finish everything. Last week I took the class I didn’t feel it, but this week the euphoric state returned. My theory is that the stretching thru the pain and then completing the workout has created this endorphin rush, but I don’t understand why it stays with me for so long. I have a friend that told me he is addicted to running because he says in the fall when the weather is cool, after about 45 minutes he feels it coming on and it lasts 6 or 7 hours. . He doesn’t feel it in the summer months, but in the fall he chases that feeling. I have another running friend that said we are completely full of BS. I have read that not everyone experiences this, but I am pretty sure when we are younger it happens, but we don’t understand or really care about the why, we just know we are happy, loved, safe, and worry/anxiety free.
It's very individual. But...you may feel loved and safe but you are not loved and safe. If you don't build a relationship with a human being, you can't get the feeling of being loved by running itself. The endorphin is different from oxytocin, which is human support. If you put yourself in a dangerous situation and then run to feel safe, you are still in a dangerous situation. That's why chasing the spurt from running is not a complete solution to meeting our needs.
@@InnerMammalInstitute you are right… but I didn’t feel like I was getting love, (I wrote down my feelings incorrectly) but more like I was giving love, protection understanding/compassion, but not for a particular person. Thank you for your reply….the distinction between giving and receiving is very important in this context. I need to cognizant of which I am feeling.
Thank you , these a fantastic.
I wish my dream to be educated came true. I asked myself this question for years and here it is thanks ma
Loved it. Clever delivery.
You're two brains are in disharmony. The higher mind is intoxicated and the lower mind just wants sense gratifications 😵💫🤪 Good luck.
Our reasoning is definitely in the animal kingdom 🥴 I'll just be glad when I'm out of this hell. Praise Jesus
Great explanation. Very helpful. Probably one of the best videos in RUclips about this topic. Thanks a lot
Thank you
Laughter Yoga and wellness teaches how to laugh heartily and “on cue” not cognitively - but intentionally😉🩷
When I was 3 or 4 years old I was anxious around water and refused to go into deeper parts of the river/creek near my home. Likely a sensible plan but the reality was that the water did not go above my chest and was slow moving. But I always crossed the river/creek at a shallow part. One day as I crossed in the shallow section I stepped on some broken glass and cut my foot. In my brain, I imagined that I would have been safer and less prone to injury if I had crossed in the deeper part of the river/creek. After that I always crossed in the deeper part of the river/creek.
You were smart to avoid deep water and you were smart to learn from experience!
Great Explanation!
💓 marvelous presentation 💓 It makes me/my body feel like a violin or a flute that's being played by DNA & its chemical messengers - like I'm a second or third party to whatever is going on. That helps A LOT with separating from what is immediately in front of me & getting some space from the whole mess 🌻
Nice poetic explanation! Science behind the poetry in my books: InnerMammalInstitute.org/books
Oh love your book on anxiety by the way
Love this video but study after study has proven that social media does negatively effect mental health
It's true that studies show social media can negatively impact mental health, much like how physical fighting can harm both our physical and mental well-being. But here's an important distinction-while fighting is sometimes necessary for survival, it's not something we engage in without reason. Similarly, we have the ability to be mindful of our social media use and manage it in a way that supports our mental health rather than harms it. Humans have a unique ability to think about our thinking, a process known as metacognition. This means that we can reflect on how social media affects us and make conscious choices to change our behavior. Just as we avoid unnecessary physical fights, we can also regulate our social media habits to maintain our well-being. Dr. Breuning's video points out the importance of understanding how our brains work, which suggests us to take control rather than just blame external factors like social media. It's all about using our ability to think critically and make choices that protect our mental health. BTW, I'm not entirely sure what I just said 😅.
@@khoa4083brilliant point and you have obviously done your research lol but please bear I mind the majority of people have no idea how social media affects us.. one HUGE very recent study shows that people's happiness increased the equivalent of 30000 dollars rise when they gave up facebook oh and after the month they all went back to using.... your right by way about you point but just be mindful
Dr. Breuning, I really enjoyed your video and found it incredibly insightful. Your explanation of why our brains are wired to seek attention, get hooked on rewards, and feel stressed when things don’t go as planned was spot on. I also loved the idea that emotion triggers thought and learning from your previous videos That said, while emotions can certainly drive certain thoughts, I think changing our emotions through thought alone is more complex. In my view, it usually takes repeated actions and the building of new habits to genuinely shift those emotional patterns. It’s not just a quick fix but a process that requires time and persistence. This brings to mind a quote by Marie Curie: "Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood." Of course, the irony here is that Curie died from radiation because she didn’t fully understand its dangers at the time. Understanding how our brains work can help us better manage our fears and emotions-just like understanding radiation might have saved Curie.
Thanks! Yes, repetition is central to all of my books, but I can't fit it all in each podcast. :)
Great Video thankyou for that! I hope that a lot more people find out which value this knowledge of our brain has for us individuals!
Wow. Brilliant discourse. This is not a lecture it is teaching. Splendid, quirky, use of visual aids. My limbic is glowing. ❤
Thank you! Please check out the full course, InnerMammalInstitute.org/course
fascinating video, thanks for that 😊
I have learned to embrace neutral and by understanding the dips in neurochemicals, I now have a better perspective on what is going on in my "mind". Your books have helped me so much. Thank you!
I'm so happy to hear it!!!
You say everything I need to know in life I’m also curious about life itself not only us humans
thank you ❤❤❤,🙏
So Chinese isn't happy
This a wonderful explanation. Thank you for sharing it 😊
Thank you so much for your valuable and distinctive insight. I want to ask, regarding what you mentioned in your video, is this related to the concept of schemata versus mindset? Is it true concepts created and learned by the human prefrontal cortex are not necessarily crucial for survival, the limbic system makes them seem so. Is the best approach to handle this through stoicism?I am trying to find a pathway to understand my schemata
Our brain is wired when we're young, so it feels like survival when you experienced it at a young age. Feelings trigger learning because they're are the brain's signal that something is relevant to survival. Depends on how you interpret stoicism. Ignoring feelings is not good; it's good to noticing them and then remind yourself that they're old messages rather than reliable news.
@@InnerMammalInstitute Thank you. I am so happy now
Much needed

Deep ideas 💡
Good explanation
Nero physics never sounded so easy to understand , very impressed 👍
Do you think recent incidents suggest a shift back towards a monarchy-like system, where charismatic leaders wield dominant influence? History shows us that the masses often gravitate towards such figures, and it’s challenging for them to balance altruism with Machiavellian tactics. Given these dynamics, could the allure of a singular powerful leader resurface, echoing the times when monarchs ruled by sheer personal magnetism and authority?
One of the best videos I've seen on RUclips in a long time. Thanks
Thanks so much Roger! It's the first in a series.
Thank you, Loretta! Your books are amazing! I have two 📚. Now, I'm starting to read "The science of positivity", in Ukrainian. Your books are very interesting and helpful to understand myself and feel myself better . ❤❤❤ Really enjoy it! 🙏🌷

Time 0.37/2.22, You don't even know the brain structure, what a shame.
How do these work when considered from the context of divine intelligent creation?
Think about it this way: God does not feed animals; he gave them a brain that learns how to find food and works hard at it every day. Our brain does that too.
Nope
I had to watch this for an online class, but I honestly enjoyed it, even though I'm tired and want to sleep now.
Ok so how do u create new emotion Ed based off you recognizing your “triggers” in a sense? Seems very vague to me but your not actually teaching one to do so
Very helpful!
