Endless Variation Never Surprised: Constants Never Surprise.

Author: Armando Dominguez PhD Health Psychology, Educator, Martial Artist, Researcher November 19, 2023 Duration: 24:43

Ep 41.  Understanding change as a constant, as recognized in mathematics, offers a strategic approach to mitigating the impact of dynamic social changes on individuals. Applying principles like "Endless Variation Never Surprises" and "Constants Never Surprise" provides a guiding perspective on how we perceive changes in our environment. This perspective encompasses individual and group behaviors, enhancing our awareness to navigate our world with a deeper, more primal understanding. By anticipating rather than reacting, we can navigate unfamiliar territory with greater preparedness and resilience.

Ever feel like your brain's ancient wiring is at odds with the demands of modern life? That's the core territory explored in Running Man Self Regulation Skills Project. Hosted by Armando Dominguez, who brings a unique perspective as a PhD in Health Psychology, an educator, a martial artist, and a researcher, this podcast digs into the primal roots of our reactions. It’s about understanding how stress, anxiety, and even physical pain directly hijack our capacity to think clearly and make good decisions, often leading to behavior we might later regret. Each episode unpacks the survival programming we all carry-our inner paleo-caveperson-and how it manifests in today's world. You’ll hear practical discussions that bridge science and daily experience, focusing on why we freeze, lash out, or struggle to choose wisely under pressure. This isn't just theory; it's about gaining tangible insights for recognizing these patterns and developing stronger self-regulation skills. For anyone interested in the intersection of mental resilience, physical fitness, and social behavior, this podcast offers a thoughtful, grounded conversation. Tune in to reframe your understanding of your own instincts and learn to navigate tension with more awareness and control.
