Practices such as meditation, exercise, quality sleep, therapy, journaling, and social engagement can help shift mental states towards the healthier middle of the interoception-dissociation continuum.

“And a number of practices, including meditation, including exercise, including getting a good night's sleep, including therapy, including journaling, including just doing activities like social engagement that you enjoy, are designed to sort of bring up the edges of that flat continuum into more of a U or concave shape so that that ball bearing, meaning your state of awareness and your state of state of feeling your own feelings versus paying attention to what's going on around you, is somewhere, again, biased toward the middle.”
