Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey everyone, Novalaine, here your guide to ditching the digital
distraction and reclaiming real joy in this crazy world. Ever
feel like you're constantly running on fumes. You know that
feeling when your phone buzzes and suddenly bam, you sucked
into another scroll session, chasing that fleeting d'a pamine hit. Well,
today we're diving headfirst into a concept called d'a pamine fasting.

(00:23):
And trust me, it's not about depriving yourself that there
might be some delicious chocolate three days in your future.
It's about rewiring your brain to actually crave his moments
of genuine satisfaction instead of constantly seeking instant gratification. Now
I know what you're thinking, Novo. My life revolves around
instant gratification. My social media feed, endless streamin options that

(00:46):
quick dau pamine rush from a notification. How can I
possibly survive without it? Fear not, my friends, because d'apamin
fasting isn't about going cold durky on everything fun. It's
about creating mindful space in your day where you actually
engage with life ill find those moments that belginuine joy
and lasting fulfillment. Think of it like this, imagine a

(01:07):
battery constantly draining. We live in a world designed to
keep our dopamine levels fluctuating, leaving as feeling depleted and
craving more dopamine. Fasting is like giving your brain a
chance to recharge its batteries by intentionally taking breaks from
those constant stimulation sauces. Think about it like hitting the refreshed,
but non your entire system. So how do we actually

(01:29):
pull this off? Let's break down five key takeaways that
will help you maximize your energy and motivation. One. Identify
your darpamine triggers. This is like detective work my friends.
Observe what activity is or apps consistently suck you in
the endless scrolling on Instagram, binge, watching those shows guilty,

(01:51):
or even just checking email every five minutes. Recognizing these
triggers is the first step to consciously choosing how you
spend your time. Dear, schedule intentional tech breaks. Remember that
refresh button I mentioned. Schedule regular tech breaks throughout your day,
thirty minutes in the morning, an hour during lunch, and
another chunk before bed. During those breaks, engage in activities

(02:14):
that genuinely nurse you. Go for a walk, read a book,
the kind with actual pages, or connect with loved ones
face to face. Very Embrace boredom. You heard me right,
Boredom isn't the enemy. It's an opportunity for your brain
to wonder and spark creativity. Instead of immediately reaching for
your phone when you feel bored, try sitting and have stillness.

(02:37):
Let your mind explore, day dream or simply be present
in the moment. Vorrow cultivate mindfulness. This is about paying
attention to the present moment without judgment. Try mindfulness exercises
like meditation or deep breathing to train your brain to
stay focused on what's happening right now, rather than constantly
seeking external stimulation. Five. Reward your fritz. Dislike any new habit,

(03:02):
dapamine fasting requires effort and consistency. Celebrate your wins when
you successfully resist the dapamine trigger or complete at tech
free day. Reward yourself with something meaningful or relaxing. Bath,
a delicious home cooked meal, or an evening spent pursuing
a hobby you love. Now, let me paint you a picture.
Imagine your feeling overwhelmed by work, deadlines and emails piling up.

(03:26):
Your phone buzz is constantly pulling you into the vertics
of social media and notifications. Suddenly you feel stess, drained,
and like you can't catch a break. That's where dapamine
fasting comes in. By taking a deliberate take break, even
just thirty minutes, you create space to breathe, clear your head,
and tackle those tasks with renewed focus and energy. You

(03:47):
might even find yourself feeling more creative and motivated. It's
like hitting the reset button on your day. Remember, dapamine
fasting isn't about deprivation. It's about creating conscious choices that
empower you to live a richer, more fulfilling life. By
taking breaks from those constant stimulation sauces, you can rediscover
the joy in simple moments and unlock your true potential.
