ABOUT YOUR BRAIN Lesson #2 MYELINATION & AMYGDALA HIJACK

Audio Transcript Auto-generated

• 00:00 - 00:02

  I will send stories of this.

• 00:02 - 00:05

  Ewing. This is part two on our syriza about our

• 00:05 - 00:09

  brain, and we're gonna talk about mile a nation on

• 00:09 - 00:10

  the MiG Dilla hijack.

• 00:11 - 00:14

  Now, those two words actually has three words, But the

• 00:14 - 00:17

  mile a nation, the Magdala it's how super complicated.

• 00:18 - 00:19

  But I'm gonna break it all down for you.

• 00:20 - 00:22

  So the first thing we're going to talk about is

• 00:23 - 00:26

  what's going on inside her brain now, inside our brain,

• 00:27 - 00:29

  there are a lot of nerve endings, their cell.

• 00:29 - 00:30

  There's just all kinds of neurotransmitters.

• 00:31 - 00:32

  There's all kinds of stuff going on.

• 00:33 - 00:34

  That's how our brain works.

• 00:35 - 00:36

  Super complicated.

• 00:38 - 00:40

  We're gonna break it down now.

• 00:41 - 00:44

  We're going to talk about something super important, and that's

• 00:44 - 00:44

  my own.

• 00:45 - 00:48

  Now Meilan is something that we all have.

• 00:48 - 00:49

  It's created in our brain.

• 00:50 - 00:51

  We don't even know we're doing it.

• 00:51 - 00:54

  But as we start to learn things, we actually create

• 00:55 - 00:56

  Mile now.

• 00:57 - 01:00

  Milon. A simple way to think about it is Milon

• 01:01 - 01:03

  equals learning as we learn things.

• 01:04 - 01:08

  Like I said, we're creating island inside of our brain

• 01:09 - 01:10

  around the nerve endings.

• 01:10 - 01:15

  So here is basically a nurse.

• 01:16 - 01:21

  Several there neuron in the center and our action and

• 01:21 - 01:25

  our generals, which are those little tree like pieces now

• 01:27 - 01:30

  and a cell that hasn't created by Alon.

• 01:30 - 01:33

  It's kind of all over the place, and actually, my

• 01:33 - 01:36

  on actually helps calm it down and insulated.

• 01:37 - 01:43

  Now, as we learn something, we actually create Milon and

• 01:43 - 01:49

  it wraps itself onto nerve and in the nerve cells

• 01:49 - 01:51

  and actually create something calling my own sheath.

• 01:52 - 01:54

  That milon sheath is actually that piece that we learn,

• 01:55 - 01:58

  and that's what actually helps keep control of the things

• 01:59 - 01:59

  that are going on in our brain.

• 02:00 - 02:04

  So it's super important that we're learning because we're creating

• 02:05 - 02:08

  those myelin sheaths and without the smile and she's it's

• 02:08 - 02:10

  kind of all over the place and crazy.

• 02:10 - 02:12

  Now think about it this way.

• 02:14 - 02:16

  Have you ever been it into your yard or seen

• 02:16 - 02:18

  on the new are on a show where someone's gotta

• 02:18 - 02:21

  hose and they're using it to water something.

• 02:21 - 02:23

  Well, they put it down and all of a sudden

• 02:23 - 02:26

  the hose just starts flapping crazy all over the place,

• 02:27 - 02:30

  right? All right, so the first thing you want to

• 02:30 - 02:31

  do is get that hose under control.

• 02:32 - 02:37

  Well, think about Milon as a fireman holding the hose

• 02:37 - 02:41

  tight and controlled so that hoses being used properly and

• 02:41 - 02:44

  that water actually is going in the correct direction.

• 02:44 - 02:47

  So Meilan is sort of like a fireman and that

• 02:47 - 02:50

  water in the hosts, that information or those that those

• 02:51 - 02:53

  things that you want to transmit different parts of your

• 02:53 - 02:57

  body. So that's why Milinda super important, because we need

• 02:58 - 03:00

  fireman now.

• 03:02 - 03:03

  Another important part of our brain.

• 03:04 - 03:06

  On top of the Meilan is an area called the

• 03:06 - 03:09

  Amygdala. They make it less way down there.

• 03:09 - 03:12

  The base are sort of in the center, and it's

• 03:12 - 03:13

  this tiny little thing in the brain.

• 03:14 - 03:16

  Well, you would think so small.

• 03:17 - 03:17

  It's not super important.

• 03:18 - 03:19

  We don't have to worry about it.

• 03:19 - 03:20

  Well, what kind of do?

• 03:21 - 03:26

  Because all information that goes into our brain passes through

• 03:26 - 03:27

  the Magdala.

• 03:28 - 03:31

  The only piece of information that does not go through

• 03:31 - 03:34

  the big No, Magdala is our sense of smell.

• 03:35 - 03:36

  That goes straight to our frontal moment.

• 03:38 - 03:40

  Now, I don't know the answer to that.

• 03:40 - 03:42

  This would be a great time to pause it.

• 03:42 - 03:46

  Find out why the smell not passed through the middle.

• 03:46 - 03:52

  When speech I touch all that does now the middle

• 03:52 - 03:57

  is really important because it actually serves to full it.

• 03:57 - 04:00

  Processes are information, sense of where it needs to go.

• 04:00 - 04:02

  But also the A Mikola.

• 04:03 - 04:08

  When we're in a crisis, I think fear it also

• 04:08 - 04:15

  actually protects us Now what is happening is once it

• 04:15 - 04:17

  goes into the indigo like I said, it will send

• 04:17 - 04:18

  things up to the front.

• 04:18 - 04:20

  Uh uh pre frontal lobe.

• 04:21 - 04:25

  But the Mikola also if we are scared or angry

• 04:26 - 04:30

  or something, does something very important, it actually protects us.

• 04:30 - 04:36

  Now, you may have heard the saying freeze frame, frieze

• 04:36 - 04:38

  flight or fight.

• 04:39 - 04:43

  Well, when the Amidala senses danger, you're either gonna freeze.

• 04:45 - 04:48

  You're gonna flight, which means you're gonna take off or

• 04:48 - 04:49

  you're gonna fight back.

• 04:50 - 04:54

  That's what gets us into kind of challenges in our

• 04:54 - 04:59

  life. Now the amygdala protects us.

• 05:01 - 05:06

  We draw us, actually helps us feel pleasure, but also

• 05:06 - 05:09

  complete that since a fear in us, it's first very

• 05:10 - 05:10

  small thing.

• 05:10 - 05:12

  It does a lot of controlling on our body.

• 05:14 - 05:17

  And if you think about this at school, you're ever

• 05:18 - 05:21

  in that position where you feel like you can't do

• 05:21 - 05:24

  something or you see that person that gets under your

• 05:24 - 05:26

  nerves or gets us tense.

• 05:27 - 05:30

  Or maybe sometimes just walking into school that a Magdala

• 05:31 - 05:34

  may put you in to the freeze flight or flight

• 05:35 - 05:39

  fright position and get our brain not working.

• 05:40 - 05:41

  That's actually what we call being Magdala.

• 05:42 - 05:46

  Hijacked via megillah is hijacked by those emotions.

• 05:47 - 05:51

  Puts us in fight, flight or freeze, and there's no

• 05:51 - 05:52

  getting out of it.

• 05:52 - 05:53

  Now it's super important.

• 05:53 - 05:58

  If you understand the amygdala hijack, it isn't something that

• 05:58 - 05:59

  you can actually control.

• 06:00 - 06:02

  Your brain already knows how to do this.

• 06:03 - 06:04

  It's actually learn.

• 06:04 - 06:06

  Remember, we learned earlier about that thing called Milon.

• 06:07 - 06:10

  Well, my island actually is something that I learned.

• 06:10 - 06:13

  So we've learned to go into the freeze flight or

• 06:13 - 06:14

  frights fight zone.

• 06:16 - 06:20

  We've told the mega What's Do we've already hijacked it.

• 06:20 - 06:25

  So once you're in the amygdala hijack, you can't control

• 06:26 - 06:30

  your brain is doing something that you can't control how

• 06:30 - 06:32

  to do it, because we've already told it through the

• 06:32 - 06:33

  milon. What to do?

• 06:34 - 06:38

  So we need to start to understand that if we're

• 06:38 - 06:42

  in that mode of a middle a hijack, we need

• 06:42 - 06:43

  to take a deep breath.

• 06:43 - 06:44

  We need to take a walk.

• 06:44 - 06:49

  We need to stop until we can get our A

• 06:49 - 06:51

  Mikola back to where it needs to be.

• 06:53 - 06:56

  It's sometimes when you go into a middle hijack, your

• 06:56 - 06:58

  teacher might go into a middle hijacked to.

• 07:00 - 07:03

  Then there's two people that air in fight, flight or

• 07:03 - 07:03

  freeze mode.

• 07:04 - 07:05

  I know his teacher.

• 07:06 - 07:09

  This was huge for me to learn that sometimes even

• 07:09 - 07:11

  I go into a middle a hijack.

• 07:11 - 07:13

  So you get into that space.

• 07:15 - 07:19

  What should you dio if your first reaction if your

• 07:19 - 07:25

  brain's telling you to fight flight runoff or freeze, what

• 07:25 - 07:27

  do we need to learn to tell ourselves to do

• 07:29 - 07:30

  now? What would you do in that case?

• 07:31 - 07:33

  What was something that you think that you could do?

• 07:35 - 07:36

  I know they're things that I know I could do.

• 07:40 - 07:42

  So what is this all me for?

• 07:43 - 07:49

  You? Or may well, knowing that learning creates mine, which

• 07:49 - 07:50

  is super important.

• 07:51 - 07:54

  And even if we take long to learn something, we

• 07:54 - 07:56

  are still slowly building that my on.

• 07:57 - 07:59

  It's sort of like going to practice a sport for

• 08:00 - 08:00

  the first time.

• 08:01 - 08:03

  I have no clue how to do something like if

• 08:03 - 08:06

  I went to go play lacrosse, I wouldn't know what

• 08:06 - 08:07

  to do because I've never played lacrosse.

• 08:08 - 08:09

  I wouldn't know how to hold the stick.

• 08:09 - 08:11

  I wouldn't know how to do anything on the field

• 08:12 - 08:12

  except probably run.

• 08:13 - 08:15

  I'd probably go into a big deal, hijack and get

• 08:15 - 08:16

  off the field.

• 08:17 - 08:20

  But as I'm learning how to play that sport lacrosse,

• 08:21 - 08:24

  I'm building up Milon as I build more and more

• 08:24 - 08:28

  Milon wrapping around those neurons, those that myelin sheath I'm

• 08:29 - 08:33

  actually putting learning into my brain when it comes to

• 08:33 - 08:36

  your big Devil hijack, the first thing you need to

• 08:36 - 08:38

  know is it's OK.

• 08:39 - 08:44

  It's not something that you can control yet yet, because

• 08:44 - 08:49

  we can learn steps, change how it a Magdala we

• 08:49 - 08:52

  acts and keep it from going into hijacked by starting

• 08:53 - 08:54

  to learn our patterns.

• 08:56 - 09:00

  So when the Magdala isn't hijack, when you step back

• 09:01 - 09:06

  and then we need to develop some milon around our

• 09:06 - 09:08

  Magdala and how it does react to keep it out

• 09:09 - 09:15

  of Magdala hijack, so why don't we lose control of

• 09:15 - 09:15

  our emotions?

• 09:17 - 09:19

  What do you think is actually controlling that?

• 09:20 - 09:21

  What would you get?

• 09:21 - 09:22

  What we just learned?

• 09:23 - 09:23

  It's the Magdala.

• 09:26 - 09:30

  That pesky little monster in our brain is taking control.

• 09:32 - 09:36

  You need to figure out how did take control back

• 09:37 - 09:37

  and you can do it.

• 09:38 - 09:38

  We can do it.

• 09:39 - 09:40

  It's all things weaken Dio.

• 09:41 - 09:44

  So just to keep from going into flight for user

• 09:44 - 09:47

  flight, what are we gonna do?

• 09:48 - 09:50

  What's one or two things right now you can think

• 09:50 - 09:54

  of If we're going into those modes that we could

• 09:54 - 09:57

  do, I know what I would do.

• 09:57 - 09:59

  But what works for me may not work for you

• 10:00 - 10:04

  that remember that Milon sheath is that fireman We want

• 10:04 - 10:09

  that fireman taking control and helping us learn and learn

• 10:09 - 10:14

  mawr that firemen in our Milen super important to our

• 10:14 - 10:19

  learning I hope you enjoyed our second step in understanding

• 10:20 - 10:20

  our own brains.

• 10:21 - 10:23

  And I hope that you're starting to learn some things

• 10:23 - 10:24

  that you have control of.

• 10:26 - 10:28

  We don't sit around and say, Oh, it's just the

• 10:28 - 10:29

  way my brain is.

• 10:30 - 10:31

  Well, it might be the way your brain is now,

• 10:33 - 10:35

  but know that you have the power to actually learn

• 10:36 - 10:39

  Mawr, create more Milen and figure out how to keep

• 10:40 - 10:41

  from that amygdala hijack
