The thing about cognitive regulation, like the idea of having clear thinking as something that we need to regulate, it's not even a known thing.

We do see how we are interacting and engaging with each other in a disregulated way on social media all the time,

as a battle of paradigms. That can drag us all to hell. In fact, I think it is. I think the lack of

cognitive regulation in individuals is dragging entire societies to hell.

different areas. We've talked about the physicality of life, our soma, our body, our physical

lives and regulating those. We've talked about our emotions, our emotional systems and our

feelings and all those to process and regulate.

We did a podcast to frame all of this.

It's a very long podcast explaining all the details of this.

Establish the premise.

We're going into each one of these specifically.

And this week we're going directly into the thinking, your cognition, your cognitive self-regulation.

So now we're departing, I think, from the obvious ones, your body, your nervous system.
