  • 00:00:20
    personal tier list of the worst brain
  • 00:00:22
    rot brain rot Behavior comes in various
  • 00:00:24
    forms including video gaming zombie
  • 00:00:27
    scrolling Doom scrolling social media
  • 00:00:29
    addiction and brain rot words yes
  • 00:00:32
    because there are some words like Sigma
  • 00:00:34
    Gat or meing for example which by the
  • 00:00:37
    way has no scientific evidence to
  • 00:00:39
    support it that if repeated continuously
  • 00:00:41
    can literally rot our brains you have
  • 00:00:44
    skibidi toilet RZ what the sigma Bro
  • 00:00:46
    Look at
  • 00:00:47
    [Music]
  • 00:00:56
    that so what exactly is brain rot brain
  • 00:01:00
    is the perfect way to describe that
  • 00:01:02
    foggy Vibe you get after scrolling
  • 00:01:04
    through lowquality videos until 3:00
  • 00:01:06
    a.m. you can't focus you can't think
  • 00:01:08
    straight and you start forgetting what
  • 00:01:10
    you walked into a room for the brain rot
  • 00:01:13
    is why we can't follow an interview if
  • 00:01:15
    there is no Mindcraft gameplay
  • 00:01:16
    underneath it's not just about feeling
  • 00:01:18
    distracted it's about how your brain
  • 00:01:20
    processes information making it harder
  • 00:01:23
    to think critically and really connect
  • 00:01:25
    with what's going on around you the
  • 00:01:27
    system is designed to keep us hooked and
  • 00:01:29
    social media I is increasingly pushing
  • 00:01:31
    short formats because they know our
  • 00:01:33
    attention spans are getting shorter and
  • 00:01:35
    shorter a study conducted by Microsoft
  • 00:01:38
    shows how our digital attention span has
  • 00:01:40
    shrunk to 8 seconds considering that a
  • 00:01:43
    goldfish's attention span is 9 seconds
  • 00:01:46
    yeah no cap sure it's fun to see a video
  • 00:01:49
    of chicken nuggets
  • 00:01:51
    singing But the long-term effects can be
  • 00:01:54
    harmful the main reason we can't stop
  • 00:01:56
    scrolling is that our brain is addicted
  • 00:01:58
    to dopamine social media is basically a
  • 00:02:00
    dopamine Casino every scroll every
  • 00:02:03
    notification hits you with a tiny
  • 00:02:05
    dopamine Spike but it doesn't last and
  • 00:02:07
    when the level drops you want more and
  • 00:02:10
    you scroll again before you know it
  • 00:02:11
    you're stuck in a loop so to stop this
  • 00:02:14
    Loop the first step is to reprogram the
  • 00:02:16
    algorithm the perfect scenario is that
  • 00:02:18
    you delete social media however I
  • 00:02:21
    understand that can be difficult so what
  • 00:02:23
    you can do is reprogram the algorithm
  • 00:02:25
    making it more educational and that adds
  • 00:02:28
    value to your life follow creators who
  • 00:02:30
    teach you something like this one hit
  • 00:02:32
    not interested on trashy content and
  • 00:02:35
    interact with content that is
  • 00:02:37
    interesting or that you are passionate
  • 00:02:39
    about that way the algorithm will start
  • 00:02:41
    recommending videos on those topics step
  • 00:02:44
    two start the day proactively the first
  • 00:02:46
    thing you do in the morning sets the
  • 00:02:48
    tone for your day morning is the time of
  • 00:02:50
    day when we have the most energy if you
  • 00:02:52
    start with a dopamine hit it will become
  • 00:02:54
    much more difficult to regain control of
  • 00:02:56
    the day instead try reading workout or
  • 00:02:59
    even just staring at the ceiling and
  • 00:03:01
    thinking about your goals having goals
  • 00:03:03
    to focus on also helps you keep your
  • 00:03:05
    mind busy because you actually have to
  • 00:03:07
    take steps to achieve them it sounds
  • 00:03:09
    boring but your brain will thank you
  • 00:03:11
    step three limit Tech during key moments
  • 00:03:14
    limiting technology used during key
  • 00:03:16
    times of the day is key to reducing
  • 00:03:18
    distractions and stress at meals putting
  • 00:03:21
    your phone away helps you connect with
  • 00:03:23
    the people around you before bed blue
  • 00:03:25
    light from screens can mess with
  • 00:03:27
    melatonin levels and hurt your Sleep
  • 00:03:29
    Quality to stop yourself from constantly
  • 00:03:31
    checking your phone try switching it to
  • 00:03:33
    airplane mode or leaving it in another
  • 00:03:35
    room step four learn something new
  • 00:03:37
    learning something new is like doing
  • 00:03:39
    CrossFit for your brain whether it's
  • 00:03:41
    picking up programming playing an
  • 00:03:42
    instrument or diving into a new language
  • 00:03:45
    you are literally strengthening your
  • 00:03:47
    neurons this process called
