- About the talk:
Peter Kuijper inspires you to get a healthier life by understanding how your amygdala works
About the speaker:
Peter Kuijper decided to change his hectic lifestyle as an entrepreneur in 2004. In the seven years that followed, he acquired in depth knowledge on different eating habits, breathing, the art of ‘focusing’ and sleeping. Practicing what he learned made him more energetic, conscious ánd more successful. Motivated by his personal experiences, he started his actual company Mind & Health.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
His message is to focus on something, stare at it for a while. Start with one-minute he says, and then build it up. You could do 10-mins, 15-mins, 30-mins, whatever you can manage. By focusing on something it stops you thinking, and quietens your emotional centre (the amygdala). He is really talking about meditation. Meditate and you will reconnect your mind with your body, and that will allow you to tune into your intuition. You only need to do it for a short time in a day. Your intuition will help you to make healthy choices over unhealthy choices. Example, sleeping when you need to sleep, as opposed to staying up too late. Slowing down in your life and taking some time out for you to just be, rather than being busy and doing all of the time. Your quality of life will improve and you will be healthier.
He's actually talking about mindfulness. There is a difference.
Lisa Derwent THAT MAKES SENSE. THANK YOU LISA. GOD BLESS YOU FOR SHARING.💝
THANK YOU
Half of this talk is pointless scaremongering...
Thank you for this!❤
This is my biggest struggle right now. I know it came from my childhood. I am in fight or flight mode even when I’m just talking to someone or walking constantly analyzing what I’m doing wrong and my hearts pounding 70 percent of the day. Joe Dispenza seems to have a great formula for change so I’m doing that… I hope I can conquer this in my life! We got this!
What formula? I just recently found Joe's work
Also try "bilateral music" here on CZcams (not binaural). It helps to think of the trauma while listening. It's EMDR with hearing instead of sight.
read books on anxiety ex: hope and help for your nerves by claire weekes, at last a life by paul david etc, they'll definitely help you. Thanks me later:)
How has your progress been?
“Think big but act small.” ❤️
Heck I couldn't focus on listening to him, due to the person that kept whispering while he was talking!
very informative
What are you talking about? Did you hear voices while watching this? I've analyzed the audio thoroughly with highly sophisticated software, and there really is only him speaking throughout the entire video. Do you ever hear the voices when you are not watching videos? Perhaps while trying to sleep?
BitBrain other people in the comments agree
BitBrain @ 1:50
Nevermind @@stankcutty4913, I think BitBrain was just being a little ShitBrain. I heard it too but because my laptop is always so quiet I never worry much about that stuff I can't quite make out. This time though I had the funny feeling that I was being watched.
I loved his speech , Great pointers for a better life
Thank you so much for posting this....
I'm freaking out! This video makes me hear whispered voices!
Because there were some, at 1:50
Got all the way to the end and still don't know how to trick (or tickle) my amygdala. Was he saying to basically meditate?
@Luis Viveros
Correct. Triggering an emotional response in the amygdala will activate implicit or explicit memories. An example to do this could be taking a math test and becoming overwhelmed by the possible answers and as a result your palms begin to sweat. When you see that math test again it will trigger you explicit memory. One could take a copy of the test home and practice to become better and then have some friends verbally quiz you for additional support. Finally, when you take the math test again and know all the answers without having to recall the formulas this would be your implicit memory at work.
Memories are a scary focus focus on that production and safety always with communication with everyone all classes all levels with reading in anyway shape or form . Always respecting others and their territories too. Have a good day!
All he really said is it's worth it to change for the better, and make small changes so it doesn't challenge the negative voice in your head (metaphorically represented here by the amygdala).
There was really no useful info about the amygdala or anything. Just: "try to be your best self".
Amygdala is for desire sectors not to be copied or to cheat . Wonderful beautiful positivity only without emotion.
Your completely right. 100%
i like his definition of being healthy i have just waated another day not being able to do or focus on anything.
Same my brain has a massiivee amygdala i know from the social anxiety and all stuff i constantly fear and never changed my ways in school for example
Thank you
When I stared at an object in my room I realized that I've never looked at any of them for as long one minute although I've lived with most of them for >10 years :).
making the mind shift is important being happy for no reason is the balance of true lifestyle....
Being happy for no reason! We all need that!
that was really deep science..
He suggests to look at ONE thing and stare for 1 minute, then more.
As a student for working online classes, this is a must recommended. 🌿
Check out Niel Slade and his book "Tickling the Amygdala"
The 'trick' starts at 8 minutes in...
Now I understand why bird watching is so relaxing. It switches off the amygdala.
❤ thank you
Whispering at 1:50
Let's practice mindfulness! l
This message spoke to me deeply.
You have to buy the $350 USD webinar so this is basically as informercial pushing for his products.
big title for a mediocre message

It is sad to hear that in this day and age - we've overtaxed our systems and we've done it with sublime smiles. Today we SHIFT 🧠🐠⚙ gears 🚗🚙🛻 down grade 🚲🦽🦼 and medit⁸ate⁸ 🕉 instead of medic8 💊💉🩹 we eat 🥦🧄🥦 well and swim 🏊♂️ . You are an idea 💡 worth spreading
🥪🍞🍇🥜🍇🍞🥪
He didn’t explain how you can trick your amygdala though 🙄 I’m baffled lol
you need a trigger your favourite song a moment in your life that made you extremely happy a moment that made you feel scared visualize them and try to control the reaction.
shakeera davis you can learn that of Neil Slade “ tickle your amygdala” he has lots of good staff on CZcams
U gotta get a rabbit and a top hat.
I know right

What's your point.. Make the right choice you live longer? Duhh.
Wie zit er te fluisteren
Its just Reality really isnt it.
The facts. The things people dont want to hear but its the truth.
doe ff in nexerlamds dennnn
Explains why Dutch people on trains like to stare 🤣
neurosophisms
so handsome, I could stare at you all day x
Stare at me instead
hahahaa Me Toooo!!
OG
I stare frequently
The message makes sense....I just wish he'd remove the information about BMI because that way of assessing the health/fitness of the body is the MOST inaccurate. Bio-impedance and dunk tank assessments are accurate. BMI doesn't take into account any amount of muscle mass. All of my athletic clients have been deemed Obese on the BMI "scale" due to their healthy muscle. If you aim to have a low number on the BMI chart, you may as well lose as much muscle as you possibly can.....
Audra Fuller - Important message.
Glad you brought that up. I'm personal trainer.
Is anyone heard that satanic whispering or just me 1:30
No,,,,,but I'm just at 0:44,,,right now,,,so can't say
Mao Law No, it was someone saying “yea”, then “gotta take the phone outside”... “yes you”... there is more. Trying to make sense of it.
At 1:50
One simple trick, or I'm out
Terrible NLP coaching dude
Become overweight not get overweighted.
What does this have to do w the amygdala at at all and how the heck did he get chosen to give a Ted talk ...? Wth 🤔🙄❓. $ maybe?
Yeah, this is the moist pointless, hollow, shallow self-help nonsense I've ever heard in a Ted talk. He didn't say a single useful thing. "Take a minute..." Yeah wow, thanks
Not specific enough. Far to general.
I have suicidal thoughts everyday. I know that no one cares. No one wants to help. I want to die. I want to be dead.
Are you still alive?
That's not true there's always someone who cares
Try Epigenetics Jesus will show you the way
No one is coming buddy I get it..
Save yourself.
Tedex click bait
So make the Muslim prayer 🙏 and achieve the goal of that lecture ...!

"Slow down and don't stress it", summed up in the Hawaiian "Shaka!'", "Hang loose!'.
The amygdala is fear, a lot of our neurotic, self-destructive behaviour is to dissipate nervousness. He is saying that if you start treating the cause, even in the smallest ways - i.e., through meditation, yoga, light exercise - then you will not need to treat the symptom - i.e., through smoking, drinking, pharmaceutical, etc. If you don't do this, chances are that you will die young.
Nothing new here. Boring, not well-structured lecture. He has a nervous posture and voice.
Thanks for the summary!
Agreed his delivery was a bit lack luster either way his message needs to be worked on so that people will be intrigued enough to Learn about the power of the Amygdala in our daily lives
mediocre
Is this a joke? He's literally trying to induce fear. Don't waste your time. Look in the comments and move on
What do you mean he’s explaining to stop sitting yourself in stressful situation and get up and start doing something positive
false. narcissist victims is not by choice
useless talk. Nothing on Amygdala
A lot of rubbish in here
