Editor's Notes
- n North America, there wasn’t much concern about the virus. People didn’t see much chance of it happening to them nor did they see the consequences as troublesome,” Ronald Mackerville, professor of recreation and leisure studies at University of Waterloo, says. “Then people started posting images of shoppers at Costco, etc, stocking up on toilet paper. It became the symbol of what was to come.” In combination with images of people in China being isolated in their homes on short notice, these messages hit home, he explains. “If social media had focused instead on images of lines at gas stations, or empty shelves of canned goods, or coolers emptied of dairy products, we might have seen very different behavior," he says.
- If media reports that people are stocking up on toilet paper, [others] will be motivated to do the same even if they cannot objectively explain why they do so.”
- here is lots of selection for food, how to stay warm, but really there is only one selection for one of our most basic functions as humans. So yes this is where it started.
- The letter “t,” which most people don’t even “see,” is out of place because it is bigger, thicker, and of a different color than the other letters. When conviction and determination prevent us from exploring alternative options, we limit our potential for thinking critically.
- Reptile brain – brain stem - instinct It is instinctual, automatic, critical to our survival. But doesn’t require us to think or feel it to work.
- Amygdala is the central influencer of emotion and impulse
- When we are off balance, it can create high levels of stress. Chronic stress causes inflammation.
- Cognitive signs: forgetting things more often; feeling confused; having trouble concentrating; difficulty making decisions Emotional signs: anxiousness; anger; guilt; sadness/depression Physical signs: stomachaches; very tight muscles; headaches Behavioral signs: irritability; trouble sleeping or sleeping more than normal; crying easily; worrying excessively; wanting to isolate
- roblems and worries of 2,000 people. The results highlighted a tendency to hide feelings of worry or avoid 'showing weakness' for fear of being judged by others. The study showed the average person's approach to dealing with serious stress and worry and found we regularly seek to hide problems even from those closest to us to avoid being a burden.
- 10-second hug a day can change biochemical and physiological forces in your body that can lower the risk of heart disease, combat stress, fight fatigue, boost your immune system, and ease depression
