Andy Weir's short story, The Egg, is one of the most mind-blowing things you will ever read.

Do yourself a favor and find 10 minutes to enjoy it.

Stop watching short-form videos.

Meta-analysis of ~100k people shows how it is associated with decreased cognition and increased stress + anxiety.

I know this is correlation, not causation but ask yourself - do you feel great after a session of consuming reels/shorts?

@aarnavg17 What movie was it?

If you struggle with impulse control, do this 10x a day to make your brain stronger:

+ notice the impulse to check your phone
+ deny the request
+ wait 10 min before opening

Start with 10 reps a day and you’ll feel:
+ heightened will power
+ stronger self mastery
+ deeper self-respect

People check their phones ~150x daily.
And spend 4 hrs 30 min/day.

The Addiction Economy, who is your invisible enemy, has hijacked your reward system.

The anticipation of a notification spikes dopamine in your nucleus accumbens, activating craving while reducing activity in the prefrontal cortex, the brain region responsible for your executive control.

Each capitulation trades your sovereignty for sedation.

Every time you resist an impulse, it’s like a rep in the gym for your brain.  This will strengthen the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, the part of your brain responsible for discipline and delayed gratification.

A great first step to reclaim yourself.

“Give me a dozen healthy infants and my own specific world to bring them up in, and I’ll guarantee to take any one at random and train him to become any type of specialist I might select - doctor, lawyer, artist, merchant, chef and yes, even beggar and thief, regardless of his talents, penchants, tendencies, abilities, vocations, and race of his ancestors.”

Instead of “I’m bad at this”.

Say “This is new for me”.

This gives your brain the space to learn instead of shut down.

This is neuroplasticity in real time.
