LPP #3 Connecting With The Present Moment with Seth Oberst Liveng Proof Podcast
-
- Self-Improvement
IN THIS EPISODE:
CONNECTION to people and CONNECTION the between nervous system and the body
Seth see’s people in PATTERNS – and behavior mirrors patterns
How people get stuck in patterns
When we are stressed we go back to the habits that got us there
How stress affects breathing
Tissues muscles and joints can get stuck in a pattern that the brain perceives as a threat/ dangerous
Type A, results/goal oriented personality types and risk of higher tension
closed/narrow focused = further perpetuating (mentally rigid/tighter = physically tighter)
Not open to learning something new
REAL vs. PERCEIVED “threats”
OPENNESS & willingness to change and adapt to new patterns
Stacked Breathing: or inhale on top of inhale. In a chronically stressed state the brain prioritizes your heart to maximize oxygen intake because we need oxygen to fight or flight (basically we need oxygen in order to move and be alert)
Learning to exhale fully lends itself to decreased muscular tension
“That’s really what mindfulness is, it’s redirection attention and bringing awareness into the present moment”
“I teach people how to regulate themselves — to become more self-aware. By integrating body and mind you can regain mastery of your own life. Learn how to discover new ways of moving, doing, and being.” – Seth Oberst
WE ALSO DISCUSS:
* How we learn to breathe a certain way under stress that gets us stuck
* How stress limits our response options and often becomes our default response system
The connection between breathing and movement
Some of his personal (and practical) methods he uses to improve breathing as a method to change his behavior
How emotions affect our breath & movement

FAVORITE QUOTE:
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause;who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly.”
