Speaker 1 (00:00):
Yo, yo yo. What's up, fam? Zayden Cruz here your
friendly neighborhood Digital Detocs Guru back with another episode of
the Digital Detos. Today, we're diving deep into something that
might seem a little old school, journaling in reflection. I know,
I know you're thinking, Zayden, like, isn't that for Grandma's
Hold up? Hold up before you scroll away faster than
(00:22):
a trending TikTok hear me out. We're living in a
world of constant noise, endless notifications and feeds designed to
keep us glued to the screen. It's like being stuck
in a never ending cycle of fomo and comparisonitis. Ever
felt like your mind is running a marathon while your
body's just chilling on the couch. You know that feeling
when you're scrolling through Instagram and suddenly realize you haven't
(00:44):
actually thought about anything besides like that person's avocado toast
for the last twenty minutes. That's what I'm talking about
journaling in reflection. They're your secret weapons to break free
from that digital matrix, to tap into that inner wisdom
that's been buried under a mountain of memes and viral challenges.
This ain't some woo woo hippie stuff, fam, This is
(01:04):
about building self awareness, knowing yourself, understanding your thoughts and feelings,
and becoming the ultimate boss of your own mind. Think
of it like this. Journaling is like hitting the pause
button on your life. It allows you to step back
from the chaos, analyze the situation, and make conscious decisions
instead of just reacting to whatever comes your way. Okay,
(01:26):
so how does this actually work? First up, grab a notebook.
Any old thing will do, even that sticky notepad you've
been using to doodle on for months. It doesn't have
to be fancy, fam. It's about the content, not the esthetics.
Now Here are some golden nuggets to get those brain
juices flowing. Dump your thoughts, seriously, just let it all out,
(01:47):
no filter, no judgment, just pure stream of consciousness writing.
Think of it like therapy, but wait, cheaper and you
don't have to sit in a stuffy office. Track your emotions,
Pay attention to how you feel throughout the day, and
write about it. What triggers certain emotions, Are there patterns
you notice? This is gold for understanding yourself on a
deeper level. Reflect on your experiences, take time to analyze situations,
(02:11):
both good and bad. What did you learn? How can
you apply those lessons moving forward. Journaling helps you make
sense of the chaos and extract valuable insights. Set goals
and intentions. What do you want to achieve? Write it down.
Having clear goals keeps you focused and motivated. Think of
your journal as a roadmap to your dreams. Gratitude practice.
(02:31):
Take a moment each day to appreciate the good things
in your life, no matter how small. This simple act
can shift your entire perspective and boost your mood. Remember
that time when you were drowning in that sea of
assignments and then suddenly you had this brilliant idea while
taking a walk. Boom. That's self awareness kicking in. It's
like having an internal GPS that guides you towards clarity
(02:53):
and purpose. Journaling isn't about being perfect or writing flowery pros.
It's about getting real with yourself, even the messy parts.
Think of it as your safe space, a digital detox
for your soul. You know those days when you're scrolling
through social media and suddenly feel like everyone else is
living their best life. Yeah, me too, But remember that's
(03:14):
just a highlight reel. No one posts about the awkward
moments or the times they mess up. Journaling helps you
see through that facade and realize that we all struggle,
even those influencers with perfect teeth and beach vacations. So
what are you waiting for? Grab a pen and paper,
unleash your inner thoughts, and watch as self awareness transforms
your life. Remember, fam, this is not a suggestion, it's
(03:37):
a challenge. Go ahead, hit that journal and tag me
in your most thought provoking entries. Let's see those deep
thoughts flowing. Don't forget to follow, rate and share the
digital detos, Spread the love, spread the awareness. Peace out.

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.
