  • What if you could overcome challenges just by drinking juice? In her enlightening talk, Dr. Simone Schnall of the University of Cambridge reveals three research-backed tricks to change the way you perceive challenges and turn mountains into molehills.
    Simone Schnall is a Senior Lecturer in Psychology at the University of Cambridge where she directs the Cambridge Embodied Cognition and Emotion Laboratory (www.psychol.cam.ac.uk/director.... Her work combines insights and methods from social psychology and cognitive science to understand how various processes related to cognition and emotion interact. In particular, she is interested in how people's bodily cues shape their internal states and their judgments of the external world. Recent topics have included the effect of emotion on morality, and the role of physical ability on perceptual judgments. Simone's findings routinely receive coverage in the popular press, including the New York Times, Economist and New Scientist and she is committed to sharing research findings with the general public.
    In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

    for the 8 minutes 20 seconds question I can see how this would directly relate to various attachment disorders as the capacities of your primary caregiver would influence how you see future challenges.

    You are so right! It all depends on your frame of mind. The mind can mess with you.

    your perception a product of how your feeling internally. you ability to see this is also due then to your awarness of the state of your own conciousness. i had some early trauma and the identity distortions where intense but a lot of it was all tied to the somatic level that propogaes to the cognitive level at a certain point. conciousness is a wierd game to play. it helped to realize one day that i had a negative memory bias - meaning the memories my thoughts where based on where biased themselves. so really in a sense i couldnt trust my own conciousness - it actually was a good excuse to mentally seperate from a lot of it better . we need to be able to connect with our selves to see this perception and to understand how we ourselves relate . awarness is a gift.

    I can see how this applies to people with ADHD with low dopamine. Without the drive and focus, tasks seem much more challenging to persevere through

    this gets into ontology and philosopy - one of the views of what we understand of life (there are 4) this is one of them.

    I'm a teacher/coach of English as a foreign language and I'm wondering how this fascinating talk can inform me about what is happening among students in class and inform what I do in class. Does the moment to moment classroom-time body-mind state of the student affect the way they relate to the material being dealt with at any given moment? If so, what can I do to accommodate those states?

      Mike Casey make sure your students are in an optimistic mood, give out snacks, make them feel like they want to help each other, give them a lot of small, easy tasks to accomplish that build to a much larger victory/accomplishment at the end

      Tell them to find any technique that they have used and which yields the most. And do that repeatedly, for a gradual increase in performance and results.

    so your perception of the level of difficulty in life is shaped by your level of energy (how many calories you eat), your social support (thinking of someone who has your back), and how powerful you perceive yourself to be socially. This means that people who believe in a personal God, and feel that they have a personal relationship with God and that he loves them and has their back will feel like life is easier and their burden is less heavy. This video makes the verse from Mathew 11:30 make sense on a literal level: 28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
