The problem
A modern day problem we face is the constant stimulation of our minds. The dopamine hits from the phones, doom scrolling, excessive information, social media are frying up our brains.
Uncontrolled and unchecked comfort is bad for the body, mind, and life.
Side effects
Getting used to consuming only the short-form content creates weakness in the intellect. And a weak intellect leads to a bad life.
It makes you ill-informed about things that matter: clouding your awareness about health, career, and other important things.
Solution
Do hard things!
Write in public. Read difficult books. Learn new skills like an instrument or coding. Study any subject of your choice. And show up: in the gym, at your guitar class, at the park in your running shoes, every single time.
