Stress and worry
- Much of your incessant worrying is due to an overabundance of stress-related chemicals in your body.
- Since we're no longer chased by wild animals, or chasing them down for meat, these stress chemicals stay built up in our bodies and keep us in a state of constant worry.
- The biochemicals related to this state of worry and stress can only be alleviated by engaging in vigorous activity.

Five different brainwave frequencies that correspond to different states of being
- The brain is made up of billions of nerve cells called neurons that use electric pulses to communicate with each other. Depending on what you’re thinking, feeling or doing, these pulses create brainwaves of different frequencies.
- To better understand your brain, you should know that it can switch between five different frequencies, depending on what you’re doing. The five brainwave frequencies can be measured in hertz, or cycles per second. These waves are called delta, theta, alpha, beta and gamma.

The brainwave frequencies
- Delta (0-4 Hz): Occurs in deep sleep and is extremely useful for growth and regeneration.
- Theta (4-7 Hz): The frequency of deep relaxation, and is often reached in the moments after we wake up from the deep sleep.
- Alpha (7-12 Hz): It is a conscious and calm state that allows you to regain energy.
- Beta (12-35 Hz): A bright and attentive state. It's good for the kind of focused attention you need for getting some work done.
- Gamma (35-70 Hz): The sought-after state of flow exists, characterized by a blissful state of peace.

It typically occurs when we are in a precarious position that we don't feel we have any control over
