Yo, what's up, fam? Zayden Cruz here your friendly neighborhood
digital detox guide back to school you on something super crucial.
Boundaries ever feel like your phone has more control over
your life than your own brain? Yeah, me too. It's
like we're constantly tethered to these screens, chasing that dopamine
hit from likes and notifications, forgetting what it feels like
(00:21):
to just chill. Now, I get it. The digital world
is lit connecting with friends, staying in the loop, finding
your next obsession. It's all there at your fingertips. But
let's be real, sometimes scrolling through insta can feel more
draining than a triple shift at Starbucks. We're talking about
mental exhaustion, fomo attacks, and that creeping sense of inadequacy
(00:41):
that comes from comparing yourself to everyone else's highlight reel.
Listen up, because these are the hard truths you need
to hear about digital boundaries. One, boundaries aren't about becoming
a luddite, nah, fam. This isn't about ditching your phone
and living in a cave, although that does sound kind
of peaceful. It's about creating conscious choices around how and
when you engage with the digital world. Think of it
(01:04):
like training for a marathon. You wouldn't just run full
speed every day, right, You need rest days, pacing yourself
to avoid burnout. Same goes for your phone. Two. Screen
time doesn't equal real life. Scrolling through endless feeds doesn't
actually contribute to your happiness or fulfillment. You know, it
can create a false sense of connection when in reality,
(01:25):
it's just pixels on a screen. Remember that feeling of
genuine laughter with your squad, the thrill of conquering that
challenging level in a game, or the satisfaction of finally
finishing a project. Those are the moments that truly matter. Three.
Your time is precious. Think about how much time you
spend scrolling mindlessly each day. It's like handing away free
hours to algorithms and influencers. You could be using that
(01:48):
time to learn a new skill, pursue your passions are
simply relax and recharge. Remember your life is a story
worth writing, not just watching on someone else's screen. Four.
Comparison is the thief of joy. Seriously, fam stop comparing
yourself to everyone else's curated online personas. It's like judging
a book by its cover. You only see what people
(02:09):
want you to see, not the messy, real stuff that
happens behind closed doors. Focus on your own journey and
celebrate your unique wins, even the small ones. Five. Digital
minimalism is your BFF. Less isn't always more, but in
this case, it might just be the key to unlocking
a happier, more balanced life. Unfollow accounts that drain you,
(02:31):
unsubscribe from emails you don't actually read, and delete apps
that are sucking up your precious time. You'll be amazed
at how much clarity and freedom you gain. Okay, picture this.
You are hanging out with your friends at a bonfire,
roasting marshmallows and telling stories under the stars, but everyone's
glued to their phones, scrolling through feeds instead of actually
talking to each other. Sound familiar. That's what happens when
(02:54):
we let technology control our interactions. Imagine if everyone put
their phones away for just one hour, we could have
real conversations, make genuine connections, and soak in the beauty
of the moment. See the difference that digital boundaries can make.
It's all about finding that sweet spot. Fam Embrace the
good stuff the internet offers, Connecting with loved ones, learning
(03:15):
new things, exploring creative outlets, but don't let it consume you.

could ever be. So what are you waiting for? Take
control of your digital life today. Ditch the phone addiction,

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
