Classically, we can't control the things that happen but we can control how we deal with them. Thoughts on Breathing I don't personally have a breath-work practice but I know it can help enormously.  I was with some folks the other day who had two little kids, a 4-year-old and a 2-year-old. The kids were running around and the parents stopped the children and ask them to breathe in 1,2,3 and breathe out 1,2,3. The kids had obviously done this before. The 4-year-old said, no Daddy, we breathe in for 4 counts.   Suggested Resources Book: The Feeling of What Happens: Body and Emotion in the Making of Consciousness by Antonio Damasio Book: How Emotions Are Made: The Secret Life of the Brain Lisa Feldman Barrett Book: A Philosophy of Walking by Frederick Gros  App: n/a  Related Episodes Find Peace With 365 Days of Happiness; Jacqueline Pirtle Booster Shot of Happiness; Soren Russow The Future of Happiness With Amy Blankson

    Happiness and Your Body

    Happiness and Your Body is today’s episode. I am sharing a short review of the book, What Your Body Knows About Happiness by Janice Kaplan. I will interview Janice Kaplan in a few days, about her new book,  What Your Body Knows About Happiness. I received her book and am so impressed that I decided to share some key ideas with you today.  What Your Body Knows About Happiness The central idea at the heart of her book is that happiness isn’t just a state of mind but also a state of body. Kaplan challenges the traditional notion that happiness stems solely from our thoughts or circumstances. Instead, she reveals that our physical bodies play a profound role in shaping how we experience joy.  Your Body Leads, Your Brain Follows Have you ever noticed how standing tall and confident makes you feel more self-assured? Or how forcing a smile, even on a bad day, can lighten your mood? According to Kaplan, these are not coincidences but examples of how our bodies often lead the way in creating our emotions. While we’ve long been taught that the brain is the command center, issuing orders for the body to follow, new research flips this idea on its head The Joy of Your Senses Kaplan’s book delves deeply into the role our senses play in shaping our happiness. Think about the last time you stopped to smell freshly baked cookies or marveled at a sunset. Those sensory experiences didn’t just feel good—they actively boosted your mood. Kaplan shows how engaging with our senses can bring joy into everyday life. Moving Toward Happiness Exercise and movement are other key components of happiness that Kaplan explores. It’s no secret that physical activity boosts endorphins, the feel-good chemicals in your brain. But Kaplan goes beyond the usual “exercise makes you happy” mantra to show how the type of movement you choose can make a difference. Dancing and activities like yoga stretch your muscles, calm your mind, and center your emotions. Kaplan’s insights remind us that our bodies are not just vehicles for our brains but active participants in creating happiness. When you move with intention—whether it’s through a workout, a hike, or even just a walk around the block—you’re giving your body the tools to generate joy from the inside out. Dealing with Pain and Finding Happiness Anyway Pain, both physical and emotional, can feel like the ultimate happiness blocker. However, Kaplan argues that understanding how the body processes pain can help us find moments of joy even in difficult times. She explains that the brain doesn’t just passively receive pain signals; it actively interprets them. By changing our environment or reframing our mindset, we can shift our experience of pain. Creativity: A Happiness Superpower Kaplan discusses the link between creativity and happiness. Whether painting, writing, cooking, or gardening, creative activities engage the mind and body, offering a unique pathway to joy. Kaplan explains that creativity isn’t about being perfect or producing masterpieces. It’s about the process—the act of making something new and expressing yourself. This creative flow can quiet the mind, energize the body, and leave you feeling more fulfilled. A Daily Happiness Plan Kaplan concludes her book with a practical, seven-day happiness plan—a roadmap for incorporating her insights into daily life. Each day focuses on a different theme, from engaging your senses to exploring your creativity. By the end of the week, you’ll have a deeper understanding of how your body contributes to your happiness and how to nurture that connection. Listening to Your Body’s Wisdom Kaplan’s What Your Body Knows About Happiness is more than a book; it’s an invitation to tune in to your body and discover its incredible capacity for joy. Happiness isn’t just something you think about; it’s something you feel, experience, and create through your physical self.

He inspired me to learn body-building and martial arts and it got me in shape. I started attracting girls, and this bully eventually became my friend.

Once you are aware of an emotion and label it as an emotion, you see it as an emotion. It's kind of like magic. All of a sudden it doesn't push and pull you around. The emotions then serve you rather than you serve them. Thoughts on Breathing I've come to think of breathing for me as a really powerful way to pull myself into a state of awareness. I often start my morning practice by breathing to a count of 4 seconds and then a slow and controlled exhalation. When you have a longer, more pronounced exhalation, it causes a down-regulating effect on the nervous system. In other words, it is a calming and centering sensation. I've leaned into doing more breath work and more focused breathing types of meditation practice.   Suggested Resources Book: How To Stick To Meditation: Make Your Mindfulness Practice a Lasting Habit by Jackson Kerchis Book: Atomic Habits by James Clear App: The Sam Harris Meditation App Waking Up App: Insight Timer Related Episodes Muse For Meditation; Ariel Garten Women’s Meditation Network; Katie Krimitsos Use Meditation to Master Yourself; Ashley Williams

Much of it had to do with neglect, abuse, and bullying in his history. I was sharing with him about the magnificence of our nervous system and how anxiety helps us understand what we need. Rather than resisting, fighting against, or condemning anxiety, we need to allow it to inform us in our bodies and our nervous system about what's going on so we can attend to it. If we can learn how to soothe our nervous system, we can come out of that state.

I don't think they're not valid, I think that's part of our humanity. I try to approach everything with logic and reason. There are times when I am overjoyed and times when I am really sad. I recognize those emotions, but I think that the mindfulness piece is: Are my emotions telling me the truth right now? Or is this just a feeling that I can approach with logic and reason? I'm not Spock, I'm not a Vulcan. I'm still allowed to have humanity and remain focused on the task at hand. Thoughts on Breathing It's interesting that when you lift, you don't breathe—you hold your breath. This creates inter-abdominal tightness, which sometimes scares people, but it's what keeps you tight from losing rigidity. When I breathe, I'm trying to get myself into a parasympathetic tone or a relaxed state. I use breathing, mindfulness, and focus to get myself out of those times of heightened emotion and a heightened nervous system and bring myself back down to earth so that I can focus on the things that really matter.   Suggested Resources Book: Atomic Habits by James Clear Book: The E-Myth Revisited by Michael E.

The place of sharing is actually down the road. If you look at the 12-step programs used in AA or NA, they have a very specific process for self-healing. The 12 steps can be divided into three groups. The first six steps are becoming aware and overcoming this condition of unconsciousness. The last two groupings in the last six steps are when the sharing and teaching occur. You're becoming a teacher to others based on what you have accomplished in the first six steps. Most Effective Way To Explore Yourself Meditation is the most effective way to explore yourself. In some of the books I've written, I share some processes to expedite the healing process. Remember the old days when you would go to the library and look up the index card? The index card would have a brief summary of the book. You would have to go to the book to get the information that you needed. Our stories are like the index card. In order to get to what you want to learn, you have to go to the emotions. You have to heal the emotional baggage. It is the process of enlightenment. It is the path, not the destination. Doing the work is entirely up to you. Meditation is by far the most productive way to accomplish this.   Suggested Resources Book: The Identity Model; Understanding and healing mankind's stress and suffering by Dean Graves Book: Edifying Children of a Lesser God by Dean Graves Book: The Enigma of Consciousness by Dean Graves (Available to preorder) App: n/a Related Episodes What Is Consciousness; Tom Campbell (Part 1) Living Consciously; Brian Berneman Beyond Fitness to Conscious Evolution With Mariko Hirakawa

Through mindfulness, I've learned that those emotions are stored in the body and you can't run from them. Those emotions will come out. It could be in the form of shingles and anxiety attacks which I've had. You can't run from that kind of stuff. It stays in there. It Will metastasize cells into skin cancer. We've seen that happen twice actually with my wife. Stress and those emotions don't run away. Thoughts on Breathing The reason why in meditation we focus on our breath blew my mind when I first started practicing meditation. We focus on our breath because the only place that we can breathe is in the present moment. If we're trying to cultivate presence through meditation, all we have to do is focus on our breath. Close your eyes, feel your chest move in and out. When I first learned that, it was the biggest aha moment for me. Suggested Resources Book: No Mud, No Lotus by Thich Nhat Hanh App: n/a Bullying Story My first job after graduation was in outside sales for a manufacturing company. I was sent to Boston with no cost-of-living adjustment and just two weeks of PTO. During the holidays, I asked my manager if I could work from our home office to spend more time with family. He yelled, questioning why I thought I was special. I pushed back aggressively, feeling cornered. Looking back, I cringe. If I’d practiced mindfulness, I’d have responded with more compassion—for myself and for him—and likely managed the situation better.
