Anleitung zum Nichts-Tun | Gabi Junklewitz | TEDxMünchen


hear from many with whom I speak
I can use this sentence against stress
do nothing and think that would be one
bad news maybe you too
I say that is a super good one
message against stress you can not do anything
do it daily
[Applause]
they have already understood nothing
Also called meditation or mindfulness
this stand and also relaxing
I would like to explore this topic with you
under three aspects the first thing is about
it actually
when we sit down and do nothing
the second how can I learn and that
third of what use to me in everyday life for
first question I do not want much
I would like to explain it to you
Invite is to find out by yourself
just now briefly your eyes
close and watch what they do
maybe notice if they are
hear the following
Thomas goes to school
he worries about the
he has no idea how to do it
the students of the 9c under control
should bring
but that’s not the task
someone has a janitor
something in itself noticed during the
listening times and release the hand lift something
in us is obviously the whole time active
we hear something and the brain starts
immediately evaluate this information
to interpret to suspect
to add something that is not so
was heard
It tells a real story
the ones you may have noticed
things are not always as captured as
They really are or are looking at you
brain live again with this work
to which we call perception
how come you can read that brain
because it keeps on that
takes back what is already known for
Of course, this is often enough
but maybe not always as well
if a person you know for a long time
maybe a longtime colleague in
such a constitution to you in the room
come get it with that today
a little different than usual
a little bit confused
or just see what they are
have saved the I know exactly
What he wants again is a whole one
exciting question how was that what we are
so easily call attention
the brain researchers are very clear
To perceive is not a mere objective
imaging reality but one
highly subjective interpretations
performance of our brain and because we
very much like to come back to the once
to fall back on learned perspectives
form in our brain
real nerves data highways the
the same perceptions over and over again
deliver and seemingly seemingly so
to confirm our view of the world
the problem if we are not careful
then we keep this automated
perception pattern unreflected for
the reality and then we’ll see each other
caught in certain circumstances
in a society in a world in
we can not change anything
in fact we are just caught in
our thinking
and that’s exactly what stress research is
the main cause for our entire
experience stress
why is that because our human
think and perceive
calibrate it to negative our brain
is apparently not developed
been left happy and happy
to live but to
to survive
this focus on negative and lust
at the disaster sometimes teach in
prehistoric times as that evolved there
It made a lot of sense
you went there so long and it rustles in the
bushes help a saber tooth tiger
swept away quickly here
who was not so awake there
theater maybe no opportunity
more with his sweetheart too
procreate
that’s why we’re all descendants of
Species whose brains really care
trimmed were always wide awake everywhere
the worst to suspect
and then switch at lightning speed
fight on survival mode year
or flee or put to death
These are the three stress reactions
until today almost unchanged in us
Expire as I said earlier extremely
Meaningful today
Today we are only rarely here
of deadly run for threatened
teeming with quasi-thought-out dangers
how must I be what do I have to do everything
and can and do and create and
do I have to look like that too
I insist here in this society
can and if I can not do it
and as if we had the problems
not enough to do
Let’s load up about the media almost around
at the clock all the problems
and catastrophes one somewhere else
in the world , the mark twain happen
I said something remarkable
I have many terrible ones in my life
Things are some of these are
actually happened
[Music]
our body does not differentiate whether
a danger that is reported by the brain
real or is that only in ours
imagination exists so what happens
when we have all that in our head
Exploit so much attention and so on
give a lot of believe then we switch
our body chronically at alarm
red and the stress situation with those
we have to do today we can
not even fighting or
to escape
that’s why the whole thing stays built up
This tension actually causes stress
fight and fly there was in the body
and makes him sick in the long run
that can be something like
Back pain or high blood pressure heart
circulation disorders of concentration
lack of sleep to exhaustion
Burnout to heart attack I once called
I still worked in advertising
me so a real sling so one
real whiplash so getextet
presentation has to be finished
So what can we do to get out of these
number them get out to the might
beautiful
We can not do anything to practice mindfulness
and a very classic kind of mindfulness
I would like to practice them
now a load in which your eyes
close as comfortable as it is
going
sit down and pay attention
Steer inside to your breath
where in your body can you do that
flow of puff’s now on
perhaps the clearest ones feel at the
abdominal wall or in the chest to the
nostrils or wherever
and maybe it is possible for
a few moments now completely let in
this movement is in her
body unfolds completely by itself
while the breath comes in and again
out
we also completely leave the breath
Of course, there is no flow
change
pay attention is good enough
Maybe it can happen to you
suddenly quite unexpectedly in
any thoughts or stories
find again and whenever they do that
to notice
they love it friendly to knowledgeable
and then return to the
sensations that the breath now in
this moment in the body triggers
there is nothing to do nothing
just just sit and breathe
and give yourself the time now
attention again so a bit
To expand more outward was always
as far as your eyes are closed again
to open
Welcome back
if they succeeded in that
all time without a distraction only when
to be breathed
super otherwise I would have a short time
I would offer the change of location
namely like to learn
the good news is when
not meditate about the thoughts away
to get or no thoughts to
to have
it is rather about awake
mitzubekommen what is happening in us right now
and the attention keeps coming out
filming these thoughts
in the immediate experience of this
momentes present in the body the breath
feel
with open minds here and now
are always great in the reason
simple but not easy they have that
maybe also noticed the trend
our mind of everything
possible to get dressed and happy
also back to usual ratings
return to familiar stories
she is very tough I can
although I have been around for a long time
meditate from personal experience say
the isc
that’s why it needs regular
training
that’s like bodybuilding if they are
once lecture heard overhand
great in bodybuilding and doing
once so the trade
[Music]
interesting experience
manageable effect if you have any
day train over weeks there is going on
What
and that’s how it is with the conscious
soreness muscle in our brain
area of ​​attention and
Concentration is also responsible
strengthens only by regular
practice now maybe it just thinks
I do not know, but they are not nice
what specifically benefits me because in the
Everyday life the first use is definitely
a better concentration
we live busy at a time
quickly very complex and already
flooded the ability of the
Attention over a longer time
to keep in one thing
which is more important than ever today
at the same time less available you
recently in a study
attention spans
on the one hand of goldfish 9 seconds
not so bad and then from today
youthful
eight seconds still has potential
Strengthening the concentration even leads
not only to more efficiency
what you might think
but it also causes us
experience less stress and more
Joy of life because a starched
Concentration always allows us
steadier to really be with what
we are actually experiencing for
walk for go by listening
we’re on this virtual stress too
experience and start instead
on the one hand to experience much more peace and quiet
on the other hand also our real real
to live a sensual life
so when I go for a walk just as
that actually feels like the wind
on the skin and how the rustling of the
Leaves under your feet or like that
sun shining through the leaves or
the smile of someone’s me
I’m sure she’ll meet you
know the on so ne art in life to
be
that’s just beautiful and a study
Harvard University confirms that
even as we are something for a proof
would like
there are 2000 people several times a day
so randomly called and have
asked them three questions each
the first one was what are you doing right now
second as well as present they are at this
thing and the third how are you
just the result was the degree of
happiness and happiness of these people
did not depend on whether that was just what
did what makes them fun but
Actually how does she present herself
that was whatever they were doing
presence makes happy now too
scientifically proven and has one
Another terrific effect the very
liberating it
presence creates as we in yes
The meditation practice a whole
salutary distance to our thoughts in
We can do it all in meditation
Immediately experience that we do not
our thoughts are the thought so
very fleeting events are the
somehow emerge in our mind
for a little bit there and then
again, similar things disappear like that
clouds on the sky in front of over 10
and we can look at those in peace
without having to believe everything there
turns up in our mind and without it
to have to follow and this ability
that we practice in meditation and
cultivate this especially in
Stressful situations extremely helpful
there are tens of thousands to mindfulness
studies meanwhile and many of these
Studies confirm that a mindfulness
trained mind much better in the
situation is the things to see as they
really are and clear on this basis
and authentic and compassionate
to make decisions and also
to develop inner qualities like
patience serenity do not value the
to accept all the time
after eight weeks daily
meditation practice show the brain scans
of meditating that area in the
brain for attention control
and emotions regulation is responsible
more gray substance has already after eight
weeks and the area of ​​angst and
stress is activated
he has less after eight weeks
substance so it is physically measurable
this effect and therefore maybe it
also proved that it is
mindfulness not just any
esoteric vale turned and
incense sticks but that
it’s very well-founded awareness
training is and the integration of
what we meditate at the same time
discover the integration of that into the
everyday he daily life
and that leads us to much more than
to a better stress management
or personality development that
really opens us up for the whole
potential that us as humans to
available
we are so much more than one
smoking mind on two legs and
in the evening that ‘s all fast
we do have in the belly down
heart tremendous sensuality the talent too
creativity and enthusiasm
sense of beautiful a compassionate
connection to each other and also to something
bigger ones say nature or
cosmos or god all this is us
We only know people
if we open ourselves far beyond this
limiting thinking out could
maybe also here again
come back and make a point
and I would like to give you one point
also with give for your everyday life
I have the hidden on the back
your name tag when the light is on
can you see that maybe
that pretty small and I invite you
with this point you can read
and again stick to a mindfulness
to create an island in your everyday life
Just do an activity
Pick something and do it every day
do
brush your teeth or the computer
start up or the first coffee
drink
glue this point to the spot
as a reminder from now starting today
to do nothing in this one thing
Except she awake with all senses
to experience present and I wish
very attentive to them
self-determined and happy
many thanks
