Speaker 1 (00:00):
Yo, what's up? Fam, Zaden Cruz here coming at you
live from my brain, which, let's be real, could use
a little TLC right about now. Ever, feel like your
phone battery is constantly draining faster than yours, Like you're
chasing dopamine hits all day, scrolling through endless tiktoks and
instat stories just to end up feeling more drained than
(00:20):
a zombie in a horror movie. Yeah, that's the struggle bus, fam,
But guess what this week on the dopamine detox, we're
tackling self care, not the basic bubble bath kind of stuff,
but the real deal, rewiring your brain for focus and
actually feeling good. We're general z were wired for instant gratification.
Our brains are basically addicted to that sweet, sweet dopamine rush.
(00:43):
Every notification, every like, every viral meme triggers a little
chemical explosion in our heads. But here's the catch, Fam,
too much dopamine is like eating an entire bag of
Skittles in one sitting. It tastes good at first, but
then you get a sugar crash and feel worse than before.
So how do we break free from this digital vortex
and actually prioritize self care. Here are five key takeaways
(01:06):
that will change your game. One digital detox. Baby. Yeah,
I know, I know it sounds boring af but seriously, Fam,
put down the phone for at least thirty minutes a day,
Go for a walk, read a book, you know those
paper things, or just chill and listen to some music
without checking your notifications every two seconds. Trust me, your
(01:27):
brain will thank you. It's like hitting refresh on your
mental operating system. Two move your body. Fuel your mind.
Forget that exercise is torture, myth. Find something you actually
enjoy doing dancing, yoga, skateboarding, even just walking around your neighborhood.
Exercise isn't just about looking good. It releases endorphins, which
(01:47):
are like natural mood boosters. And remember to eat real food, Fam,
not just whatever fits in between those study breaks or
insta worthy meals. Your brain needs good fuel to run properly.
Three like a boss. Remember that feeling of waking up
refreshed and ready to conquer the day. Yeah, that's the
magic of a good night's sleep. Aim for seven to
(02:08):
nine hours every night. No more scrolling through TikTok till
two am. Seriously, it messes with your circadian rhythm and
makes you feel like a zombie the next day. Your
brain needs downtime just as much as your body does. Four.
Mindfulness is your BFF. Ever, meditate no well, get ready
to meet your new best friend. Mindfulness isn't about becoming
(02:29):
a zen master overnight. It's simply about paying attention to
the present moment without judgment. There are tons of free
apps that can guide you through mindfulness exercises. It's like
a mini vacation for your brain. Five. Say no more often. Listen,
fam You don't have to be everything to everyone. Saying
no is not selfish, it's self preservation. Over committing yourself
(02:51):
leads to burnout and stress. Learn to prioritize your own
needs and say no to things that drain your energy.
Speaking of priorities, let me tell you about the Queen herself, Beyonce.
This woman doesn't just drop chart topping albums. She builds empires,
She juggles motherhood, tours, businesses, philanthropy, and somehow still manages
(03:11):
to slay every single day. But even Queen Bay has
her struggles, right Remember that time when she canceled a
tour because of exhaustion and vocal issues. It was a
major wake up call for everyone, reminding us that even
the strongest people need to prioritize their health and well being.
Beyonce took time off, focused on herself and came back
stronger than ever. That's what self care is all about,
(03:34):
not indulging in temporary pleasures, but investing in your long
term happiness and success. So fam, remember these takeaways. Digital detox,
move your body, sleep like a boss, practice mindfulness, and
say no more often. It's not about being perfect, it's
about making small changes that add up to big results. Listen,
(03:55):
you're amazing, You're capable of anything, but you've got to
take care of yourself first. Sugarcoating just real talk. Now,
go out there and slay fam, and don't forget to
hit that follow button. Rate this episode and share it
with your squad. Let's make self care the new hype
peace Out. This podcast is created with the help of
