This document discusses the concepts of physical and mental fatigue. It defines fatigue as a subjective feeling of tiredness that is distinct from weakness and can be alleviated by rest. Physical fatigue is the temporary inability of muscles to perform optimally due to factors like exercise, while mental fatigue is a temporary decrease in cognitive performance from prolonged cognitive activity. Both types of fatigue can be caused by lack of sleep, stress, overexertion and other factors. The document also discusses emotional exhaustion and provides classifications of different emotions.

This can lead to stress, anxiety, depression, carpal tunnel syndrome, and other issues. The document then outlines Ayurvedic treatments for these conditions, including herbal formulations, Panchakarma therapies, yoga, pranayama, and lifestyle changes. It concludes that stress adaptation syndrome commonly found in IT/BPO professionals can be effectively managed with Ayurvedic treatments and techniques to improve keyboard posture.
The document discusses stress management and Ayurveda. It provides an introduction to Dr. Jitendra Nagpal, a senior psychiatrist who will lead an interactive webinar on the topic. The webinar will cover what stress is, its causes, the effects of prolonged stress, how to analyze and control stressors, and increasing motivation during under-stress periods. It will discuss stress at different levels, sources of stress, coping mechanisms, and stress awareness.
This document discusses how stress and pressure impact athletic performance through their effects on cortisol and DHEA levels. High cortisol degrades both body and mental functions, while high DHEA enhances performance. Coherence training helps synchronize the body's systems, lowering cortisol and raising DHEA to optimize performance. It allows athletes to better manage stress, stay in an "in-the-zone" state for longer, follow coaches' instructions, and dominate their environment even under pressure.
The document discusses stress and its management according to Ayurveda. It describes stress as affecting the doshas Vata, Pitta, and Kapha and manifesting mentally, emotionally, and physically. Ayurvedic treatments for stress include lifestyle changes like meditation and yoga, herbal medicines, and therapies like shirodhara. Herbs commonly used are Brahmi, Ashwagandha, and Jatamanshi, which have relaxing and cognitive effects. Formulations like Saraswati Panchak and Sumenta contain these herbs to reduce stress symptoms and support mental function.
Yoga is an effective way to manage stress. Specific asanas like child's pose, forward bend, and seated forward bend help relieve stress by relaxing the body and calming the mind. Pranayama techniques such as Kapalbhati and Bhastrika positively impact the nervous system by regulating breath. When practiced regularly, yoga reduces stress levels and improves both physical and mental health.
Factual Understanding of Stress and its ManagementAjit Kumar
For sure, we are living a longer life than our ancestors, but we consume more medicines by the age of 5 or 6 years than that consumed by older generations in their entire lifetime. Even after taking so many nutritional supplements, the situation does not seem to be improving. There is complete lack of peace of mind in our lives.
Studies/research have found that main reason behind all the general health deterioration is – ‘Negative Stress’.
Stress is the body's reaction to changes that require physical, mental or emotional adjustment. There are internal and external stressors that can overload the body. The general adaptation syndrome describes the body's three stage response to stress - alarm, resistance and exhaustion. Effective stress management techniques include breathing exercises, meditation, yoga, self-hypnosis, spending time in nature, expressing gratitude and drinking green tea instead of coffee. Practicing these techniques can help reduce stress levels and its negative impacts on health.

This document discusses how our emotions can affect our health. It explains that people with good emotional health are aware of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and have learned healthy ways to cope with stress. However, life events can disrupt emotional health and lead to sadness, stress, or anxiety. Poor emotional health can then weaken the immune system and impact health. The document also outlines various foods and nutrients that are associated with improving mood and emotional health by boosting "happy hormones" in the body.
Stress is the body's reaction to perceived threats or challenges in the environment. The document discusses the concept of stress, including its causes, stress cycle, types of stressors, stages of the stress response, and symptoms. Stress can manifest physically as increased heart rate and blood pressure in the short term, and long term issues like digestive problems, headaches, and fatigue. Behavioral symptoms include nail biting, irritability, and reduced effectiveness. Chronic stress can potentially lead to physical and mental health disorders if not managed properly.
The document discusses the human mind and how thinking, feelings, and desires interact dynamically. It notes thinking can be biased, distorted, or prejudiced and lead to problems. The key is controlling thinking to also control feelings and desires. Thinking can be organized rationally, considering others, or egocentrically, which can lead to self-deception. Meditation is presented as a way to relax the mind and body. Research shows meditation lowers heart rate and the brain remains alert, with benefits like stress relief, pain alleviation, and self-actualization. Regular meditation may lead to better physical and mental health as well as higher self-esteem.
This content is regarding body mind relationship which is part of nursing students syllabus. This topic will be useful for those who are studying psychology and other medical science subjects.
The document discusses the relationship between the body and mind. It states that the body and mind cannot act independently, as they influence each other in an integrated response. A healthy mind exists in a healthy body and vice versa. The body is composed of organs and organ systems that have specific functions, while the mind refers to mental processes like thinking and reasoning, rather than the brain itself. The mind functions at different levels including conscious and unconscious levels. Both the mind and body can act upon each other - negative emotions produced by the mind can cause illness, while malfunctions of the body can affect mental functioning.
john garcia How laziness affects_the_body.pptboz87
Laziness can negatively impact physical and mental health in several ways. Physically, laziness can lead to poor blood circulation and fatigue. It can also contribute to the development of depression or exacerbate chronic illnesses by reducing mobility and independence. Mentally, laziness can weaken memory and problem-solving abilities. It can also negatively impact relationships and how one sees themselves. While occasional rest is normal, sustained laziness should be addressed to protect overall well-being.
A presentation on the benefits of mindfulness for Judges at the Orlando, 2016. As important as the medical, psychological and stress reducing aspect of mindfulness are, the ability to pay sustained, nonjudgmental attention in the courtroom - without the distortion of habit, bias, or assumptions - may lead a judge to treat people and manage a courtroom in a manner that encourages confidence in our system of justice.
The Brain ... the Mind ... how the Mind functions, how experiences are formed, why is my experience different from yours? Emotions are born from our interpretations not from our circumstances ... and more in this presentation (Part 1)
The subconscious mind is powerful and controls much of our daily functioning and behaviors outside of our conscious awareness. It processes and stores all information we encounter and communicates with our conscious mind through thoughts, emotions, and memories. While the conscious mind is limited in its abilities, the subconscious has virtually unlimited capacity and can control vital bodily processes like breathing and digestion. We can access and reprogram the subconscious mind through practices like meditation, visualization, affirmations, hypnosis and by exposing it to positive information and environments on a consistent basis to manifest beneficial changes in our lives.
The document discusses the relationship between the body and mind. It defines the mind-body relationship as how one's thoughts and behaviors can impact their physical health. The biopsychosocial model considers how factors like biology, psychology, and environment influence health. The document then explores what constitutes the mind, describing it as consisting of conscious, preconscious, and unconscious processes like thinking, reasoning, and feeling. It provides examples of how the mind and body interact and influence each other, such as how emotions can impact bodily functions and how fatigue can impact mental concentration. The mind-body relationship is important to consider in medicine and psychotherapy.
One in six people has a mental illness. Mental illnesses are caused by imbalances in brain chemicals that affect thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. They can be triggered by genetic and environmental factors. Common mental illnesses include anxiety disorders like panic attacks, phobias, and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), mood disorders like depression and bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia, which causes a break from reality.
How Stress Damages the Brain
When we are stressed, it effectively makes us less intelligent. This is
due to the reduction in pre-frontal activity, which in turn is designed
to make us more focussed and alert. Essentially, the pre-frontal cortex
is the part of the brain responsible for forward planning, creative
thinking and other ‘high-order’ brain activity.
When you are being chased by a lion though, it is really not the time
to be thinking about the meaning of life!
So shutting down this part of the brain and placing your focus on
feedback from your senses makes much more sense.
This document provides information about stress, its effects on the body and brain, and strategies for managing stress. It discusses how stress triggers the fight or flight response and release of stress hormones like cortisol. While acute stress can be helpful, chronic stress takes a toll by suppressing immune and digestive functions and shrinking areas of the brain over time. The document recommends managing blood sugar levels to avoid stress responses, staying comfortable, and limiting screen time to reduce stress.
Our mind and body are closely connected. Negative thoughts and emotions can manifest physically in our bodies over time through chemical reactions in the brain and nervous system. Constant stress, negative self-talk, and feelings like anger or depression send signals throughout the body that can eventually lead to issues like insomnia, anxiety, low immune function, and physical ailments in areas corresponding to our thoughts and feelings. Maintaining a healthy mind through reducing stress, controlling negative thinking, and cultivating positive emotions is important for overall health and well-being.
Neuroscience of stress and mindfulnessShivekNarang
1) Mindfulness involves focusing on the present moment and can lead to changes in the brain, such as reducing grey matter in the amygdala which is involved in stress responses.
2) Practicing mindfulness is associated with increased grey matter in areas involved in planning, problem solving and emotion regulation like the prefrontal cortex. It can also increase hippocampus size which is important for memory and learning.
3) Understanding how mindfulness impacts the brain can help high school students manage stress, especially around exam times, by teaching them to focus on the present moment rather than worrying about the future.
Stress can be defined as an imbalance between demands placed on a person and their ability to meet those demands. There are three stages of stress: alarm, resistance, and exhaustion. Unmanaged stress can lead to health issues like increased muscle tension, changes in breathing, anxiety, and a weakened immune system. Stress in the workplace can be caused by factors like work overload, organizational change, and role ambiguity. Individual differences like social support, job skills, personality type, and hardiness affect how people cope with stress.
1) Panic attacks are sudden periods of intense fear that may include palpitations, sweating, and feelings of impending doom. They arise from activation of the body's innate fight or flight system by the sympathetic nervous system.
2) Diagnosis involves ruling out medical causes through testing and assessing anxiety levels. Treatment includes cognitive behavioral therapy and medication like SSRIs or beta blockers to manage symptoms.
3) Lifestyle factors like exercise, diet, caffeine intake, and stress management are also important to treatment and prevention of panic attacks. Maintaining healthy neurotransmitter and hormone levels can help keep anxiety in check.
The document discusses the body's physical and mental defense mechanisms. It covers the roles of the sympathetic nervous system in processing emotions and trauma, and the importance of instincts. The physical defense system has three main lines of defense: the physical barrier, defensive cells/proteins and inflammation/fever, and the immune system. The sympathetic nervous system prepares the body for "fight or flight" and is involved in processing emotions, while the parasympathetic nervous system restores the body to a calm state. Emotions stimulate specific activities in the nervous system, and intense emotions are reflected in heart rhythms. The gut has intelligence that communicates with the brain through the vagus nerve.
Rethinking Rationality In Business And Economics - Aditya YadavAditya Yadav
Rationality is based on having appropriate data, models, and goals given one's context. Behavioral economics often assumes behaviors are irrational without considering individuals' perspectives. The document argues that what appears irrational may be rational for that person given their information and aims. It says rationality varies situationally and is better defined as consistency with one's reasons and optimal decisions given their constraints. Overall, rationality is a complex, relative concept rather than an absolute measure of behavior.

1) To analyze power plays within and between organizations, a framework must be built starting from the sources of power and how it is wielded bilaterally and through networks.
2) Power is derived from various sources like authority, social influence, resources, expertise, and persuasion, and is proportional to the discretion one has in utilizing the source of power.
3) Total power is calculated by considering the inherent capabilities that provide power, the discretion one has in wielding that power, the number of targets impacted, and the direction and degree of impact on sources and targets.
The Art Of Stealing & Absorptive Capacity - Aditya YadavAditya Yadav
The document discusses the concept of absorptive capacity, which refers to a company's ability to utilize external knowledge. It explains that effective "stealing" of ideas requires high absorptive capacity, which depends on prior related knowledge, diversity of backgrounds, and investment in internal R&D. Absorptive capacity is cumulative and path-dependent, increasing with continuous investment. It also relates to a company's adaptive capacity and ability to learn, store knowledge, and make flexible decisions. The document provides formulas for calculating the potential value dispersion in an ecosystem based on the absorptive and adaptive capacities of companies within it.
Meta-Models & The Reality Behind Management By Instincts & Experience - Adity...Aditya Yadav
This document discusses how to balance facts, experience, and instincts in management. It argues that using multiple models together (meta-modeling) provides better outcomes than relying on any single model, specialist, or gut feeling. Generalists who can synthesize various perspectives tend to make better decisions than specialists focused on just one area. The key is combining independent models to reduce the chance that all are wrong. This approach mirrors how the human brain naturally analyzes situations from different angles to reach informed conclusions. Well-rounded thinking will outperform any single-dimensional view.
Toughest Things First & Normative Multi-Tasking - Aditya YadavAditya Yadav
- The document discusses how large companies can implement agile practices despite their size and complexity.
- It advocates stacking difficult tasks early when energy and motivation are highest, and recommends dedicating focused 20-minute chunks of time to single tasks to maximize productivity instead of constant multitasking.
- Research shows that multitasking reduces IQ, productivity, and competence, so the document proposes organizing work into toughest tasks first, quickest tasks during breaks, long-term projects, and just-in-time deadline tasks.
The Innovation Workflow - From Pre-Idea To Delivering Innovation - Aditya YadavAditya Yadav
1. The document discusses running innovation in a large, global Fortune 500 company with 200 divisions across 40 countries and 25,000 employees.
2. It presents a philosophy that breaking down past innovations into parts and tagging them allows drawing a mental model of the innovation workflow and what to expect.
3. Key aspects of innovation discussed include preparation, idea generation, testing, learning, overcoming challenges, and ultimately delivering value to succeed. Innovation is described as an orchestration of many interconnected factors.
This document discusses running an agile Fortune 500 company and provides innovation heuristics. It describes a typical global company as having 200 divisions across 40 countries and 25,000 employees. It then lists over 50 heuristics or rules of thumb for approaching innovation problems in complex environments. The heuristics include thinking outside the box, starting with many ideas, learning from other industries, eliminating risks for customers, and challenging assumptions.
Imagination Creativity & Innovation Primer - Aditya YadavAditya Yadav
Imagination precedes creativity and innovation. Creativity is using imagination to manifest new ideas or designs for a single context, while innovation extrapolates those ideas or patterns to solve problems in other contexts. The human brain naturally finds and recombines patterns to imagine new things. While everyone is born with imagination, creativity and innovation can be cultivated by learning basic rules, experimenting, prototyping, and asking questions without obstruction from processes or documentation. Preventing questioning kills the pipeline of imagination, creativity, and innovation.
This document discusses managing risk at a large, global Fortune 500 company with 25,000 employees across 40 countries. It begins by asking how to manage risk, but then suggests looking first at how not to manage risk through "synthetic risk management." It lists 25 different risky strategies to avoid, such as ignoring risk, hiding risk, manipulating probabilities, underestimating costs, and making qualitative analyses seem quantitative. The overall message is that companies should thoughtfully manage risk through established strategies like avoiding, controlling, accepting, or transferring risk, rather than using misleading or irresponsible tactics.
This document discusses how large companies can take an agile approach to managing crises. It argues that crises represent both risks and opportunities. Rather than solely focusing on risk avoidance and reduction, companies should view crises as opportunities to drive change, growth, innovation and other benefits. By exploiting the opportunities presented by crises, their intensity and frequency can decrease over time. The document provides recommendations for how to evaluate crises as potential business opportunities and appropriately charge fees to take advantage of those opportunities. It emphasizes that crises create a chance to share risks and rewards towards positive transformation.
The Risk Opportunity Duality - Aditya YadavAditya Yadav
- The document discusses how to minimize risk while still allowing opportunities at a large Fortune 500 company with 25,000 employees across 40 countries.
- It presents a telecom-media value bundle business model simulation with parameters like bandwidth bought and sold, operational costs, number of consumers, and resulting revenue and profit.
- It argues that risk almost always implies opportunity, and the opportunities exist in changing input/output combinations, making better choices, or moving means and reducing standard deviations to capture more value from risks. Managing risk well is key to business success and higher profits.
The Myth Of Business Models - Aditya YadavAditya Yadav
- The document discusses running an agile Fortune 500 company with many divisions across countries.
- It emphasizes understanding business models through quantitative modeling of inputs, choices/variations, and outputs rather than just copying strategies from other companies.
- An example business model for a telecom-media value bundle is modeled through Monte Carlo simulation, showing high risks and potential downsides that would need to be addressed before pursuing the business idea. Quantitative modeling of ideas is preferable to just pursuing ideas based on passion.
This document discusses running an agile Fortune 500 company with many divisions, countries, and employees. It introduces the concept of "Mecha-Despair", where support systems are designed with predefined responses that are inappropriate for real situations, causing frustration. To increase customer satisfaction, the document argues we must tackle Mecha-Despair by designing systems for alternate workflows and manual overrides instead of strict standardization, improving the human experience until artificial intelligence can better serve human needs and interests.
This document discusses balancing processes and outcomes in large organizations. It argues that organizations should:
1) Only maximize processes and standardization when outcomes are repeatable. Otherwise, minimize processes.
2) Reward outcomes when they are repeatable, and reward processes when outcomes are not inherently repeatable.
3) Process-driven companies should reward results, not just process compliance. Companies without clear processes should reward the processes used, not just outcomes.
Balancing a focus on processes and outcomes in this way can help large, complex organizations overcome conflicts between "process people" and those who dislike processes.
Educational Reform - Stop Certifying For A Purpose - Aditya YadavAditya Yadav
- The current education system is outdated and designed for mass production and standardization, certifying students for specific purposes.
- Education should be student-centric, personalized, adaptive, and focus on skills like creativity, critical thinking, and problem solving through collaborative and immersive learning.
- If the goal was not certifying students for a purpose but rather having them graduate from the university and define their own purpose, the entire system could be rethought to be more flexible and focused on learning. Students would choose courses across departments to accomplish their goals.
The document discusses running an agile Fortune 500 company with 200 divisions across 40 countries and 25,000 employees. It suggests keeping things simple by starting with structured documentation to research and honestly analyze relationships with customers, employees, partners and other stakeholders over the short, mid and long term. This includes establishing entry, sustaining, "give up but stay" and exit criteria to assess factors like incentives, rewards, costs, profits, quality and growth.
Understanding Impossible & Making Things Happen - Aditya YadavAditya Yadav
This document discusses running an agile Fortune 500 company. It describes a typical large global company with many divisions, countries, employees. The original question was that it seems impossible to enact any change or move past the status quo. However, the correct question is to define what "impossible" means. The document then lists questions to ask to determine if something labeled as impossible truly is or if it's due to other factors like a lack of understanding, willingness to change, or personal risk. It emphasizes understanding the purpose and values, asking why and why not, and getting details rather than opinions to determine if change is truly impossible.
This document outlines problems with traditional top-down management structures and proposes adopting a bottom-up "synthetic management" approach. It argues that current management practices lead to overspecialization, bureaucracy, and incompetence. Instead, it advocates empowering employees by giving them information, budgets, and policies to do their work autonomously while collaborating with peers. With these changes, managers would be freed from unnecessary monitoring and reporting tasks and could take on a coaching role to help teams rather than control them from above. The goal is to eliminate bureaucracy and optimize organizational performance by treating knowledge workers as competent adults rather than "inconsequential cogs."
The Truth About - Diversity, Inclusion, Feminism, Charity, Green, CSR, Ethics...Aditya Yadav
This document discusses running an agile Fortune 500 company and adopting principles of corporate social responsibility. It notes that while CSR seems like a trend, simply adopting it for its own sake may not be beneficial and a more informed approach is needed. It advocates understanding the philosophical principles behind diversity, inclusion, ethics and other such concepts before implementing related models. While idealists see adopting modern agendas as key to success, the document argues this adds complexity, costs and challenges without a clear return on investment initially. It claims the most accomplished organizations master the basic game first before implementing stricter rules, and that violating established constructs does not guarantee failure or success.

*Original Question “Can we do something about
Exhaustion @ Work?”
*The Correct Question - “Yes! But lets
understand it first… Allow me to explain and
then I will let you deal with it…”
6. *
* Fatigue (also called exhaustion, tiredness, lethargy, languidness,
languor, lassitude, and listlessness) is a subjective feeling of
tiredness which is distinct from weakness, and has a gradual onset.
Unlike weakness, fatigue can be alleviated by periods of rest. Fatigue
can have physical or mental causes. Physical fatigue is the transient
inability of a muscle to maintain optimal physical performance, and
is made more severe by intense physical exercise.
* Mental fatigue is a transient decrease in maximal cognitive
performance resulting from prolonged periods of cognitive activity. It
can manifest as somnolence, lethargy, or directed attention fatigue.
* Medically, fatigue is a non-specific symptom, which means that it has
many possible causes. Fatigue is considered a symptom, rather than
a sign because it is a subjective feeling reported by the patient,
rather than an objective one that can be observed by others. Fatigue
and ‘feelings of fatigue’ are often confused.
7. *
* Physical fatigue, or muscle fatigue, is the temporary physical
inability of a muscle to perform optimally. The onset of muscle
fatigue during physical activity is gradual, and depends upon an
individual's level of physical fitness, and also upon other factors, such
as sleep deprivation and overall health. It can be reversed by rest.
* Physical fatigue can be caused by a lack of energy in the muscle, by a
decrease of the efficiency of the neuromuscular junction or by a
reduction of the drive originating from the central nervous system.
* The central component of fatigue is triggered by an increase of the
level of serotonin in the central nervous system. During motor
activity, serotonin released in synapses that contact motoneurons
promotes muscle contraction. During high level of motor activity, the
amount of serotonin released increases and a spillover occurs.
Serotonin binds to extrasynaptic receptors located on the axon initial
segment of motoneurons with the result that nerve impulse initiation
and thereby muscle contraction are inhibited.
8. *
* Mental fatigue is a temporary inability to maintain optimal cognitive performance. The onset of mental
fatigue during any cognitive activity is gradual, and depends upon an individual's cognitive ability, and
also upon other factors, such as sleep deprivation and overall health. Mental fatigue has also been
shown to decrease physical performance.
* It can manifest as somnolence, lethargy, or directed attention fatigue. Decreased attention is known as
ego depletion and occurs when the limited 'self-regulatory capacity' is depleted.
* It may also be described as a more or less decreased level of consciousness.
* In any case, this can be dangerous when performing tasks that require constant concentration, such as
operating large vehicles. For instance, a person who is sufficiently somnolent may experience
microsleep. However, objective cognitive testing can be used to differentiate the neurocognitive
deficits of brain disease from those attributable to tiredness.[citation needed]
* The perception of mental fatigue is believed to be modulated by the brain's reticular activating system
(RAS).
* Fatigue is a normal result of working, mental stress, overstimulation and understimulation, jet lag or
active recreation, depression, and also boredom, disease and lack of sleep. It may also have chemical
causes, such as poisoning or mineral or vitamin deficiencies. Chronic blood loss frequently results in
fatigue, as do other conditions that cause anemia. Fatigue is different from drowsiness, where a patient
feels that sleep is required. Fatigue is a normal response to physical exertion or stress, but can also be
a sign of a physical disorder.
* Temporary fatigue is likely to be a minor illness like the common cold as one part of the sickness
behavior response that happens when the immune system fights an infection.
9. *
* Emotional exhaustion is a chronic state of physical and emotional
depletion that results from excessive job and/or personal demands
and continuous stress. It describes a feeling of being emotionally
overextended and exhausted by one's work.
* It is manifested by both physical fatigue and a sense of feeling
psychologically and emotionally "drained“
* Most emotional exhaustion research has been guided by Maslach's and
Jackson's three-component conceptualization of burnout. This model
suggests burnout consists of three interrelated parts: emotional
exhaustion, depersonalization, and diminished personal
accomplishment. Depersonalization, also called "dehumanization",
refers to a set of callous and insensitive behaviors displayed by a
worker toward a client. Diminished personal accomplishment refers
to negative evaluations of the self.

The emotion annotation and representation language (EARL) proposed by the Human-Machine Interaction Network on Emotion (HUMAINE) classifies 48 emotions.

*Assume 150 lbs (Pounds) body weight
*Assume a ~2400 “Food Calorie” diet => 2400
Kcals
*1300 “Food Calories” required/day for Body at
Rest Metabolism i.e. Survival
*2400Kcal/day = 100Kcal/hr = 116 Watts Body
Energy Consumption
*Running for 60 mins, 5 Miles/hr [=12 minute
Mile] needs 544 Food Calories/Hour
13. *
* Brain is ~2% of body weight and consumes ~20% of body energy.
* It is most sensitive to energy needs, if deprived of energy for just ~10mins it sustains
permanent damage
* If body consumes ~116 Watts/Hr the brain consumes ~23 Watts/hour or 480 “Food
Calories”/day
* Which is 20% of Body Energy needs
* The Reality: Humans who exclusively do mental work can use up 35% of body energy
w/ their brain => 840 “Food Calories” / day
* The Myth is that some research says Thinking increases energy consumption by +20-50
“Food Calories”/day BECAUSE we don’t (!@#!@$@#$%#$%^%%^) think that much
(Really???) and only occasionally. But the reality is a lot… a whole lot of people
Exclusively Think for a Living in today’s economy. This research is a Defunct Legacy
that needs to be archived.
* Which [The Reality] as per our calculations is equivalent to Running 5Miles/Hour for
92.65 minutes
* No Wonder Mental Work is extremely exhausting!!!
14. *
* Definition: Emotions are Overwhelming Theme of Thoughts in a Human Brain
* Myth: Someone who cries a lot IS EMOTIONAL… could be!!! But by our definition any overwhelming
theme of thoughts is Emotions. So even Laughing a lot could be a sign of hyper-emotionalness
* In Reality: Having a large portfolio of Theme’s of Thoughts in our Brains makes us Emotional (In a
Scientific Sense)
* A brain stores millions of thoughts… all that is necessary to display Emotional Behaviour is for something
to Trigger a Theme(s) of thoughts, and they triggering each other… causing an Avalanche!!!
* Even Animals have Sight and Listening but what makes Humans emotional is Speech + Vocabulary which
is extremely effective at hyper linking thoughts into Themes aka Emotions which get triggered together
* Some people like to believe (i) Brain has unlimited capacity (ii) we use only 5% of our brain and the rest
is free for use….. I don’t want to discuss that and right now I will straightaway put my point which is ….
Any huge Avalanche of Thoughts / Themes of Thoughts / Emotions can overwhelm the brain and prevent
it from acting Optimally (???) and Rationally (???)
* Hence Emotions and Emotional Behaviour is in Absolute Certainty “Suboptimal” from a non-emotional
plane of reference !!!
* Our Mental Capability increases with age!!!
* And so does our Emotional Baggage!!! Which can overwhelm our Mental Capability [Rationality] many
times over
15. *
* Top Strategy Consulting companies demand Their Consultants Show “Empathy” which might be a
Business Need BUT IS AN OXYMORON!!! See definition of Empathy above.
* Where I live, Hospital Staff are extremely rude to patients… I for one understand that Doctors and
Surgeons use their Brains a lot and I also understand that Empathy would suppress their
Rational/Diagnosis/Judgement into sub-optimality… (Yes! Surgeons also need Stable/Firm hands for
surgery but its primarily their brains succeeding w/ surgery not just their hands)
* So I don’t expect Surgeons, Doctors and Emergency Services Personnel to be very Empathetic and rather
just be to the point… Yeah I know it sucks when you are at the receiving end…. But if you realise that if
they stay rational they might actually be better off in saving your life than if they got emotional at your
pain and suffering and started weeping and crying in front of you and your family.
* What peeves me off is when Nurses and Ward Attendants pick that up from Surgeons and behave
extremely rudely and arrogantly, they think it’s the right thing to do. In fact according to me Nurses
and Ward Attendants, are the ones who need to be Empathetic.
* Anyway, sorry for digressing… now coming back
* Ref: DC and AC electric currents
* One steady avalanche of Emotions/Thought-Themes can by themselves Hyper-Metabolise the brain to
the levels mentioned on the Mental Exhaustion slide. (Just like D.C. Electricity Current)
* If that was not bad enough Alternating Emotions throughout the day e.g. Fear -> Sadness -> Relief can
be even more exhausting to the brain.
16. *
* Agreed; kids eat less in proportion to their physique. But their diet is
thoroughly sufficient for them to be physically active all throughout the
day.
* The problem is most adults appear to be constantly exhausted…
* Emotional Exhaustion seems to be ∝ Σ (Intensity x |Δ emotions|)
* Mental Exhaustion & Emotional Exhaustion -> Burnout
* Kids laugh when happy, cry when hurt, display very little Mental
Exhaustion, or Emotional Baggage/Exhaustion…
* Rule: In Knowledge work folks are almost never physically exhausted
* Because we don’t do much physically strenuous work. Our exhaustion is
completely Mental and Emotional.
* The “Promise” of Fun Work itself might be flawed but the concept of Fun
@ Work reduces Mental & Emotional Exhaustion and Burnout…
* And since in Knowledge work the Employee controls the Source of
Production in his head this could only lead to more and better outcomes…
