Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, they're at Amazing Humans. It's your girl, nov Laine,
and welcome back to zero Dopa mean days where we
ditch the digital distractions, reconnect with our in ourselves, and
discover real joy. Ever feel like you're constantly tethered to
your phone, scrolling through endless feeds and chasing that dop
Haman hit. You know that feeling when your brain craves
that instant gratification but leaves you feeling empty and I

(00:22):
fulfilled afterwards. Yeah, we've all been there. That constant connection
can actually be detrimental to our long term happiness and
well being. Today we're diving deep into the importance of
unplugging for real, lasting joy and a healthier life. Think
of this episode as your digital Detok's guide pack with
actionable tips and strategies to help you reclaim your time, attention,

(00:46):
and ultimately your sanity. Here are five key takeaways that
are going to blow your mind. One, I'm plogged to
your charge. Our brains aren't wired for constant stimulation. Think
about it like this. Even your favorite gadget need a
recharge every now and then. The same goes for us
when we constantly bombard our minds with information and notifications,

(01:08):
we become exhausted and depleted. Taking regular breaks from technology
allows our brains to rest press this information and truly
recharge tim Proclaim your time seriously. How much time are
you spending scrolling through social media or binge watching shows.
Imagine all the incredible things you could be doing with

(01:28):
that extra time. You could read a book, spend quality
time with loved ones, buss your hobby, are simply enjoyed
a quiet beauty of nature. Pray boost your creativity ever,
Notice how your mind feels more creative and inspired when
you're unplugged. Without the constant stream of distractions, you have
space to day dream, think deeply, and come up with

(01:49):
innovative ideas. Unplugging allows your imagination to run wild or
improve your sleep. Let's be real that blue light from
our phone's measures with our sleep patterns big time. When
we use screens close to bedtime, it suppresses melatonin production,
the hormone responsible for regulating our sleep wake cycle. So

(02:10):
ditch the phone an hour before beding. Give yourself the
gift of a good night's rest. I've connect with the
real world. Remember that amazing feeling of genuine human connection
when you unplug from technology. You create space for meaningful
interactions with the people around you, but done your phone,
make eye contact, listen attentively, and truly engage in conversations.

(02:32):
It's a game changer. Let's talk about something I think
we can all relate to. Those awkward moments when you're
at dinner with friends or family, everyone is glued to
their phones and the conversation feels forced. You know, the
drill scrolling through Instagram while pretending to listen, desperately trying
to keep up with the latest social media trends. It's frustrating, right.

(02:53):
I remember being on a trip with my best friend once.
We were supposed to be having this amazing time exploring
a new city, but we both ended up spending most
of our days glued to our phones. At one point,
we stopped at this beautiful park overlooking the ocean, and
instead of soaking in the breatecking views and enjoying each
other's company, we were both busy taking pictures for Instagram.

(03:16):
It was such a weak up call, realizing that we
were missing out on real experiences because we were too
caught up in the virtual world. So how can you
actually put these tips into action? Start small? My friends,
You don't have to go full on monk mode and
live off the grid. Begin by setting aside designated and
plugged times each day, maybe an hour before bed, during

(03:37):
your lunch break, or even just thirty minutes in the morning.
Turn off those notifications, put your phone on airplane mode,
and embrace the quiet. Remember, unplugging isn't about depriving yourself.
It's about reprioritizing what truly matters, real connections, meaningful experiences,
and inner peace. This is a journey, not a race.

(03:57):
Take things one step at the time, celebrate your successes,
and don't be afraid to slip occasionally. Just remember the
power of unplugging. It can lead to a happier, healthier,
and more fulfilling life. Join me tomorrow for another episode
of Zero Dopa Mean Days. Don't forget to share this
episode with someone who needs a little digital detox in
their life, and let me know what your biggest takeaway

(04:21):
is on social media. I can't wait to hear from you.
