Li Karlsen: 自由潜水这项运动让我克服了对海洋深处的恐惧，在深潜过程中，我体验到了一种前所未有的平静和自由。水压会使肺部压缩，在一定深度下反而感觉舒适，不会有强烈的呼吸欲望。在与鲸鱼共游的过程中，我感受到它们的好奇和友善，它们甚至能认出我。冰下潜水则是我人生中最艰难的挑战，它让我直面最深层的恐惧，最终获得内心的平静。自由潜水不仅是一项运动，更是一种自我疗愈的方式，它帮助我处理了来自军队和生活中的创伤后应激障碍，让我成为一个更好的人。 在自由潜水的过程中，我学习了如何控制呼吸，这不仅对潜水至关重要，也适用于日常生活。通过鼻腔腹式呼吸，延长呼气时间，可以有效地缓解压力和焦虑。这种呼吸方式可以随时随地进行，帮助我保持平静和专注。睡前用医用胶带封住嘴巴，可以训练鼻呼吸，改善睡眠质量。即使在剧烈运动时，我也尽量采用鼻呼吸，这需要时间和练习，但可以提高身体对二氧化碳的缓冲能力。 压力和焦虑的来源并非缺氧，而是体内二氧化碳的增加。通过控制呼吸，我们可以调节交感神经和副交感神经系统，从而控制压力和焦虑。这是一种科学的冥想方式，它让我在面对极端环境时也能保持平静。 Simon: Li Karlsen 的经历和技巧为我们提供了一种全新的视角，来理解和应对压力和焦虑。她将自由潜水这项极端运动，转化为一种压力管理的实践。通过控制呼吸，我们可以更好地管理情绪，在日常生活中保持平静和专注。Li Karlsen 的方法并非仅仅是技巧，更是一种生活哲学，它强调内心的平静和对自身情绪的掌控。

Shownotes Transcript

Courage isn't about bravado. It's about staying calm. Li Karlsen knows a lot about staying calm under the most inhospitable conditions. One of the most accomplished freedivers in the world, Li is a record-holding champion at holding her breath and diving hundreds of feet below the ocean's surface.

I wanted to ask Li what freediving has taught her about managing stress and fear. It turns out the lessons she's learned in the ocean work just as well above the water. Something as simple as changing the way we breathe can have a huge impact on our own fear and stress.

This...is A Bit of Optimism.
