how to start reprogramming your
brain
Dear Friend,
In this issue, you will learn about fascinating new
discoveries in neurophysiology about how to start
reprogramming your brain and nervous system to break the
pattern of depression (and other unpleasant emotions). This is
a challengiing issue for lots of people. Please hang in there
and read to the end. There are lots of good ideas that will
help you feel better fast! The suggestions in this issue are
backed up with scientific research. They work!
Here's how depression works. Depression (and other emotions)
cause your brain to make neuropepetides (chemical messengers
that match each emotion). The moment you feel an emotion, such
as depression, neuropeptides flood and cascade through the
body instructing every cell in your body to feel depressed.
Daily depression, anger, suffering and bitterness get locked
into your long-term memory and become your emotional and
biochemical identity. So the big question is, how can you
start breaking that long-term relationship so that you are no
longer depressed?
The fastest way to beat depression is to DO SOMETHING PHYSICAL
that gets you moving, makes you sweat, gets your heart rate up
and gets you breathing deeply. Contrast this with depression
where you are sedentary, slumping, and breathing shallowly
with a depressed heart rate.
OK, I'm not crazy. I know you're depressed and the last thing
you want to do is dance or take an aerobics class or jump up
and down while singing to your favorite music. IT WILL SEEM
HARD, MAYBE EVEN "IMPOSSIBLE." There's only one reason to do
it - BECAUSE IT WILL MAKE AN IMMEDIATE DIFFERENCE!
Don't think you can make yourself do it? Find a class with an
instructor that "makes" you exercise. Go with a friend. Here
are some things that release endorphins (feel good chemicals)
in your body: sex, music, singing and dancing. Combine them -
the more the merrier. Take salsa lessons. You will drag in,
but leave feeling fantastic. Daily aerobic exercise for 30
minutes is ideal. If you can't even imagine that, then just
commit to doing ONE class of any kind that has aerobic
benefits and notice how you feel afterwards. If you can't
imagine that, then go sit in a sauna with headphones and
listen to some music that "moves" you while you sweat.
Ideally, find a club with a cold pool near the sauna and
alternate hot and cold, back and forth between sauna and "icy
plunge." If there's no pool, then take cold showers in
between sauna sweats. CAUTION: Drink lots of water while
you're doing this! Yes, this is intense, AND it works!!! No
time to exercise? I'll bet you watch AT LEAST one hour of
television every night. Put a treadmill in front of the TV and
multi-task.
Oh, you are going to feel soooooo good! Wishing you lots of
great endorphins!
Your friend,
Diana Soulae
