Mike Carruthers: 研究表明,朋友的幸福和健康状况会显著影响个人的幸福感和健康状况,积极的人际关系对身心健康至关重要。朋友的肥胖甚至会增加自身肥胖的风险。良好的婚姻关系也有助于身体伤口的愈合。人类是社会性动物,需要充足的社交时间来维持身心健康。 Britt Frank: 感觉‘卡住’并非源于懒惰或缺乏动力,而是由于未处理的威胁、过去创伤或诚实性的缺失。克服困境的关键在于关注当下可行的选择,而非纠结于原因。通过设定小目标并逐步实现,积累成功的经验,最终克服惰性和恐惧,实现目标。 David Hamilton: 一些被认为是‘玄乎’的疗法,如芳香疗法、冥想、亲近自然等,确实有效。其作用机制在于使身体处于恢复状态,从而优化免疫系统、疼痛管理系统等。这些疗法的有效性部分源于安慰剂效应,但更重要的是它们能够帮助人们放松身心,从而改善身心健康。 Mike Carruthers: 人们常常感到生活中的‘卡住’,这是一种非常不舒服的感觉,让人不知道该做什么,去哪里,或者做什么。但是,一旦开始朝着目标做任何事情,都会启动一个良性循环。 Britt Frank: 人们常常低估小成就的意义,而这些小成就的积累会带来巨大的改变。要学会接纳真实的自己,并从自身真实的需求出发,而非社会期望。 David Hamilton: 正念冥想能够增强大脑前额叶皮质的功能,从而提高专注力并改善心理健康。亲近自然也有益于身心健康,因为它能够帮助人们放松身心,使身体处于恢复状态。

Ever feel stuck? Most of us have, whether it’s stuck in a job or a love relationship – or just a general feeling of being stuck in life. So how do you get unstuck? That’s the important question I explore with Britt Frank. She is a therapist and author of the book, The Science of Stuck: Breaking Through Inertia to Find Your Path Forward (https://amzn.to/3Efv33v).)

Many alternative therapies are looked down upon – and sometimes, rightfully so. After all, there isn’t a lot of proof they work. Still, some things that have been labeled “woo-woo” or mystical do seem to have benefits even though no one is exactly sure how they work. These include things such as visualization, massage, aroma therapy, nature, kindness and so on. Sometimes the promises made regarding the power of these therapies are overstated. Still, there may still be something to them. Here to talk about this is Dr. David Hamilton. He is a writer and speaker and author of several books including Why Woo Woo Works (https://amzn.to/3JLtBXI).)
