Notes de l'éditeur
Catherine
Catherine-I haven’t tried surfing yet, but a few years ago I was an avid skydiver. Neuroscience has yet to explain extreme sports beyond “something is wrong in the dopaminergic system.” What I found, however, was that jumping out of planes on the weekend helped me achieve peace through the week as a Neurobiology grad student at the University of Chicago.VERY INTERESTING!
Catherine-Outdoor/Nature-based sports are good for the body and mind.

Catherine
Catherine-The physiological stress-response evolved to help us survive… these hormones are essential for escaping predation, finding and fighting for food and mates.
Catherine-Today, that same physiological stress response is turned on many times each day. Non-life-threatening stressors activate the same biological systems… meaning our blood pressures skyrocket whether faced with a lion, attractive mate, or mortgage bill.
Catherine-Repeatedly activating the stress response system is killing us. How can we modulate our stress responses and change our lives?
Catherine
Joao- Case-studies from beginner surf-coaching people from Lisbon big offices: bankers,Lawyers, business owners… pure reaction of catching a small wave, seems similar to sensation I achieve on a giant wave! Very positive to see that pure exhiliration in beginners! That experience with Nature is a gateway to motivate these individuals to do something for the environment… whatever is in their reach…
Joao- (Redmind can go too far… for anyone)Mavericks wipeouts... If u don’t loose consciousness you are working to solve problems that u are facing… get bk to shore and re-accessA 4-story wave breaking in front of us, creates tremendous stress… we hvWhen waves aren’t big – down season - Nightmares can be common… this antecipation of wipeout or being “caught inside” triggers tremendous anxiety,Fear…
Catherine- serotonin? Research is only beginning to tap into contentment and happiness
Catherine-
Joao-The ocean-connection of surfing calms my body and mind, has helped me stay centered throughout my life, help overcome death of close ones, maintained me humble and wanting to live life to the max. etc.

Catherine -Discuss current project and preliminary findings that rock climbers have lower stress toward paper-and-pencil test. Also discuss recent findings that fitness may reduce that stress.
Joao-nuanced difference between stressful outdoor situations – big waves and happy/natural calm moments… hypothesis BOTH help people Manage stress in “workplace”/Domestic situationsChange something in your life…
Joao-Wisdom lies within… importance of solitude to create new ideas… hyper-connectivity can cut that down… learn to disconnect…
Joao-Friendships formed under extreme circumstances can be some of the most sincere and long-lasting – some overlap with friends/colleagues from armed conflicts/war…The friendships created and sealed in exciting situations can be very powerful and important in bringing meaningfulness to human lives… employee-motivation Activities in Nature can be extremely impactful…
Joao-Making bridges between people in cities and outdoor experiences as a preservation tool – importance of having elite outdoor athletes helping more Urban based people learn new stress management skills – Competitive-driven individuals more redmind orientated
Joao-Life-cycle management of BlueMind – or staying stoked all your life Passing on the torch... Also helps those connected to the ocean to re-kindle their stoke…
Joao-
Catherine -What will re-calibrate our stress response to responding to life-or-death scenarios and not sweating the small stuff? Is it being in nature, is it the physicality of moving in nature, or do we need to experience high risk in order to teach our neuroendocrine systems what to respond to?
Joao-Family-driven individuals more bluemind orientated BOTH benefit from Experiencing Nature… multiple levels of experiencing Nature… relaxed more SPA style vs. intense more radical/survival style
