visual trick
This visual trick from @hubermanlab has changed my life in the simplest and subtlest way:
@hubermanlab Looking at a vista or horizon is relaxing because you naturally go into panoramic vision.
Compare that to being indoors, staring at your phone or talking to somebody.
You may not notice it, but your entire visual field shrinks to a much smaller aperture - increasing alertness.

@hubermanlab Without conscious effort, we spend most of our days in tunnel vision and rarely go into panoramic vision.
Now, here's the trick:
By consciously shifting into panoramic vision, you can activate the part of your nervous system associated with relaxation and calmness.

@hubermanlab Try it. It's simple.
Simply expand your visual field and soften your eyes.
Focus on what's in your peripheral vision.
You might notice your breathing slows down. The muscles in your face and body relax.

@hubermanlab The beauty of this technique is that you can do it anytime, anywhere.
I am now regularly switching to panoramic vision - out on a walk, on a call, talking to someone, in the gym,...
The impact has been extraordinary.
Anyone any idea why we don't learn this in school?! 😜
