What Your Body Knows About Happiness - Janice Kaplan

Season #1

 In this episode, I sit down with New York Times Best Selling Author, Janice Kaplan to explore the profound connection between the body and mind, and how our physical state influences our emotions, decisions, and overall happiness. We also discuss the importance of recognizing the body's intelligence, the impact our environment can have on our well-being, and how simple changes in posture and surroundings can enhance our mood and creativity. The conversation also touches on the effects of anxiety, pain, and the significance of reconnecting with our bodies in a fast-paced, technology-driven world.

 

In this episode, we discuss:

  • How our brains are not the sole center of intelligence; our bodies also play a crucial role.
  • How understanding the body-mind connection can help manage anxiety and stress.
  • How simple changes in our environment can lead to profound changes in our emotional health.
  • How anxiety often begins with physical sensations that can spiral into mental loops.
