Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Yo, yo yo, what's up, my digital fam Zayden Cruz.
Here your daily dose of reality served with a side
of sarcasm. We're diving deep into something real important today,
something that's like totally essential for our sanity in this
crazy world. Self care. Yeah, yeah, I know it sounds
like something your grandma would preach over cammomile tea. But

(00:20):
trust me, this ain't no dusty old trope. We're talking
about leveling up your existence, finding peace in the chaos
of endless scrolling in notifications. Let's face it, gen Z,
we live in a world where our phones are practically
extensions of ourselves. We're glued to screens twenty four to seven,
bombarded with content, comparisons and fomo that can leave you

(00:41):
feeling like you're constantly running on empty Ever felt that
soul crushing exhaustion after a night of doom scrolling, You know,
the kind where your brain feels fried even though you
technically slept eight hours. That's burnout, fam, and it's more
common than we care to admit. So how do we
navigate this digital jungle without losing our minds? Number? One?

(01:02):
Set boundaries. I'm talking about actually putting limits on your
screen time, download those ab timers, schedule digital detocs hours
where you literally put your phone in another room. Treat
it like the radioactive waste it can feel sometimes. Number
two prioritize real life connections. Yeah, that means ditching the
emoji reactions and having actual conversations with people who exist

(01:24):
outside the realm of Instagram filters. Go for walks, grab coffee,
play board games, anything that gets you interacting face to face.
Trust me, human connection is more valuable than any number
of likes. Number three find your offline joy. Remember hobbies,
those things you used to do before TikTok took over
your life. Rekindle them. Read a book, learn a new skill,

(01:46):
take up pottery, anything that brings you genuine pleasure and
doesn't involve staring at a screen. Number four listen to
your body. This is huge. If you're constantly feeling drained, anxious,
or restless, it's time to unplug and reach charge. Get
enough sleep, eat nourishing food, move your body. Treat yourself
like the valuable human being you are. You deserve it.

(02:08):
And finally, number five, embrace boredom. I know, I know
it sounds scary, but trust me. Boredom can be a superpower.
It allows your mind to wander, to think creatively, and
to come up with amazing ideas. So, next time you
find yourself reaching for your phone out of sheer habit,
challenge yourself to do something else. Maybe start a journal, doodle,

(02:29):
or just sit in silence and appreciate the stillness. Okay,
so picture this. You're scrolling through Instagram, comparing yourself to
everyone's perfect lives, feeling that familiar pit of envy and inadequacy.
Suddenly you realize you've been doing this for two hours straight.
Your eyes are burning, and you haven't actually accomplished anything productive.

(02:50):
Sound familiar. That's when it hits you. Self care isn't
just about bubble baths and face masks, although those are great,
don't get me wrong. It's about making conscious choice is
that prioritize your well being even when your thumb is
itching to scroll. So what are we taking away from
this digital detoc session. First off, boundaries are your best friend.

(03:10):
Learn to say no to distractions and yes to real
life experiences. Second, remember the value of human connection. Those
irl interactions can't be replicated by a double tab. And finally,
embrace boredom. It's your ticket to creativity and genuine self discovery.
Listen up, gen z, this ain't just another podcast episode.

(03:32):
It's a wake up call. We got to take control
of our digital lives before they control us. Let's reclaim
our time, our energy, and most importantly, our sanity. Now,
go out there, unplug and live your best offline life.
