In this episode of the Executive Function Braintrainer Podcast, hosts Darius Namdaran and Dr. Erica Warren dive into the essential topic of conscious awareness and its impact on executive functions. They discuss various perspectives on conscious awareness, including neuroscience, philosophy, and psychology, highlighting the startling fact that 95-99% of our daily behaviors and thoughts are subconscious. The conversation covers the importance of increasing consciousness to take control of one's life, the tools to shift from reactivity to conscious regulation such as breathwork and visualization, and how therapies and coaching contribute to cognitive flexibility. The hosts also explore the balance between autopilot and intentional decision-making, providing listeners with insights and strategies to optimize their executive functions.
