Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey everyone, Logan Cruz here and welcome back to Dopamine
Reset Journal. Ever feel like you're constantly bombarded with stuff news,
social media, emails, ads. It's a twenty four seven information overload.
It's enough to make your brain scream for a vacation, right,
But the truth is we can actually use this constant

(00:22):
input to our advantage. We just need to become a
little more mindful about what we consume and how it
affects us. Today, we're diving deep into building healthy habits
through mindful consumption, because, let's face it, in today's world,
less isn't always more. It's about being strategic and intentional

(00:44):
with the things that fuel your mind and soul. Now
I'm not saying you need to become a digital hermit,
ditching all your favorite apps and living off grid. We're
just talking about becoming more aware of what you're putting
into your mental space and making conscious choices. Think of
it like this. You wouldn't just eat anything that came

(01:06):
your way, right, You choose nutritious foods that nourish your
body well. Our minds deserve the same kind of care.
So what are some key takeaways to build healthy habits
through mindful consumption. First up, be a curator, not a consumer.
Think about your social media feats. Are they filled with

(01:27):
positivity and inspiration or do you find yourself scrolling endlessly
through negativity and comparison traps. Unfollow accounts that drain your
energy and seek out those that uplift and empower you. Remember,
you have the power to curate your online experience and
make it a positive force in your life. Next, be

(01:50):
selective with your news consumption. We all need to stay informed,
but constantly being bombarded with negative news can leave you
feeling anxious and overwhelmed. Set aside specific times for catching
up on current events, and focus on reliable sources that
offer balance reporting, and when you're done, step away from

(02:11):
the screen. Give yourself a break from the constant stream
of information. Thirdly, practice the art of digital detoxing. It
doesn't have to be an all out band. Start with
small steps. Designate certain times during the day as tech
free zones, like meal times or an hour before bed.

(02:33):
Use that time to connect with loved ones, read a book,
go for a walk, or simply enjoy some quiet contemplation.
Now you might be thinking, easy for you to say, logan,
you're not the one dealing with deadlines and notifications all day.
And you know what, You're right. It's tough to resist
the pull of our devices, especially when we rely on

(02:55):
them for work and communication. But that's why it's crucial
to establish boundaries and prioritize your well being. Think about
it like this. Imagine you're at a buffet with endless options.
Do you want to sample everything, leading to indigestion and
feeling overwhelmed, or do you choose a few dishes that

(03:16):
truly appeal to you, savoring each bite and enjoying the
experience fully. That's mindful consumption, being selective and intentional with
your time and attention. Remember, building healthy habits takes time
and effort. Don't get discouraged if you stumble along the way.
Just keep practicing, Be kind to yourself, and celebrate your progress.

(03:40):
You got this now, let me tell you about a
real life example that really drives this point home. I
was chatting with a friend the other day who mentioned
how she felt constantly bombarded by emails and notifications at work.
It was affecting her focus and making it hard to
get things done. So she decided to implement a no

(04:02):
email rule for the first hour of her work day.
During that time, she focused on her most important tasks
and found that she was more productive and less stressed.
See small changes can make a big difference. So remember,
mindful consumption isn't about deprivation or going off grid. It's

(04:24):
about becoming more aware of your habits and making conscious
choices that support your well being. Curate your online experience,
be selective with your news, practice digital detoxing, and don't
forget to celebrate your progress along the way. Now, go
out there and make those mindful choices you deserve it.
