Uh I'm not going to walk past this line and into that training space until I'm ready to give that effort . And that may take a minute or 10 or whatever , but it , it , it's the physical barrier is very important to saying like I'm not just gonna get through it . I'm going to actually perform the way I want to perform or I'm not gonna do it and I'm not gonna cross this line until I'm ready to make that happen .
But since most people are likely not engineers , it is the way that the nervous system works . Um Evidenced by the fact that whatever area of your body right now is in contact with a chair or um any other surface that's been in contact with for more than a few seconds , you forget that it's in contact with it because there's low signal , the noise at that point . A similar note you actually mentioned stimulants basically there , whether you're talking caffeine or any other stimulant , any other cortisol modulators or adaptogen , any of these things fall in the category .
We are certainly not gonna go over them , but I'll give you some examples . Um , you can pull out first of all physical movement . We do it .
You actually mentioned something else that we use , uh , occasionally in which , uh , what we call brain games or puzzles , whether this is a crossword puzzle or something where you actually lose your thought of self for a second and your brain gets engaged in a task that you weren't regretting or even thinking about these can be stupid little games . Uh , it could be little challenges , especially if you're like a group or a team setting . Right ?
It's no longer helpful . So um you want to deploy these things strategically . Yeah , the the phrase that comes to mind is signal , the noise , you know , the nervous system , especially the dopamine system and the adrenaline system , which are a part of this larger system called the catecholamine system .
