107 - Shift your instincts by shifting your state

<p>Some of us have a tendency that when we feel blah we need something really big that will give us an adrenaline rush to pick us up: things like food, retail therapy, or scrolling through social media.</p> <p>Others of us recognize the need for something that will fill us up with happy hormones: dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and endorphins.</p> <p>But those can feel gentle and boring, and it can be hard to inspire ourselves to do those things when we're in a state.</p> <p>In this episode I explore:</p> <p>- What it means that our state creates our story<br /> - Why we sometimes enjoy certain things in life and other times those same things grate on our nerves<br /> - Why shifting our state will make everything around us feel much better<br /> - What it means to be "up the ladder" and "down the ladder"<br /> - How to sense when we're "down the ladder"<br /> - How we can shift our state<br /> - What neuroplasticity has to do with this<br /> - How shifting our state can help us shift our instincts</p> <p>--</p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Join an Embodied Dance session at</span> <a href="https://renareiser.com/dance"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">renareiser.com/dance</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">.
