00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:03.680
<v Speaker 1>Yo, yo yo, what's up? Fam Zayden Cruz here back

2
00:00:03.720 --> 00:00:07.440
<v Speaker 1>with another episode of the dopamine detos. Now, let me

3
00:00:07.480 --> 00:00:09.800
<v Speaker 1>ask you something. Ever feel like you're stuck in this

4
00:00:09.960 --> 00:00:13.160
<v Speaker 1>endless loop of scrolling through TikTok comparing your life to

5
00:00:13.199 --> 00:00:17.280
<v Speaker 1>everyone else's highlight reels. Yeah, me too. It's a constant

6
00:00:17.280 --> 00:00:20.039
<v Speaker 1>stream of I woke up like this, living my best

7
00:00:20.039 --> 00:00:24.440
<v Speaker 1>life and just launched another million dollar company. Meanwhile, you're

8
00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:26.760
<v Speaker 1>over here trying to figure out what to have for dinner.

9
00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:30.480
<v Speaker 1>Let alone conquer the world. But listen up, because today

10
00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:33.840
<v Speaker 1>we're talking about fear and doubt, those pesky little gremlins

11
00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:36.520
<v Speaker 1>that whisper in your ear, telling you to play it safe,

12
00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:39.640
<v Speaker 1>to stick with the familiar, to avoid any risk whatsoever.

13
00:00:40.359 --> 00:00:42.759
<v Speaker 1>And trust me, I get it. Fear is like that

14
00:00:42.920 --> 00:00:45.000
<v Speaker 1>ex who keeps showing up at your door even though

15
00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:49.000
<v Speaker 1>you told them to scram. It's annoying, persistent, and sometimes

16
00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:51.840
<v Speaker 1>you just want to scream into the void. But here's

17
00:00:51.880 --> 00:00:55.000
<v Speaker 1>the thing. Fear is also an opportunity. It's a sign

18
00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:57.119
<v Speaker 1>that you're about to step outside of your comfort zone,

19
00:00:57.320 --> 00:01:00.479
<v Speaker 1>which is where all the real magic happens. Think about

20
00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:03.039
<v Speaker 1>it like this, have any of those I woke up

21
00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:06.359
<v Speaker 1>like this TikTok's ever made you think, Damn I wish

22
00:01:06.359 --> 00:01:09.040
<v Speaker 1>I had the guts to do something that cool. Yeah,

23
00:01:09.159 --> 00:01:12.159
<v Speaker 1>me too, but guess what you can. Here are five

24
00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:14.560
<v Speaker 1>things to remember when fear and doubt try to pull

25
00:01:14.599 --> 00:01:18.760
<v Speaker 1>you down. One. Acknowledge your fears. Don't bury them deep

26
00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:21.799
<v Speaker 1>inside or pretend they don't exist. The first step is

27
00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:25.680
<v Speaker 1>to actually admit that you're feeling scared, like seriously, say

28
00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:28.280
<v Speaker 1>it out loud, tell your best friend, write it in

29
00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:31.400
<v Speaker 1>a journal, or even scream it into the void metaphorically,

30
00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:36.599
<v Speaker 1>of course. Two. Reframe your perspective. Fear often distorts reality.

31
00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:39.400
<v Speaker 1>It makes mountains out of molehills and convinces you that

32
00:01:39.480 --> 00:01:44.239
<v Speaker 1>failure is inevitable. Challenge those negative thoughts. Ask yourself, is

33
00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:46.920
<v Speaker 1>this fear based on facts or just my own anxiety?

34
00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:50.319
<v Speaker 1>Chances are the fear is way bigger than the actual risk.

35
00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:54.799
<v Speaker 1>Three Break it down. Overwhelmed by a huge goal, break

36
00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:58.439
<v Speaker 1>it down into smaller, more manageable steps. It's like leveling

37
00:01:58.519 --> 00:02:01.319
<v Speaker 1>up in a video game, unker one level at a time.

38
00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:05.120
<v Speaker 1>Celebrate each small victory along the way, and remember that

39
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:10.199
<v Speaker 1>progress is always better than perfection. Four. Embrace discomfort growth

40
00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:13.680
<v Speaker 1>happens outside of your comfort zone. That awkward feeling, that's

41
00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:16.960
<v Speaker 1>just your brain expanding. So push yourself, step out of

42
00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:19.479
<v Speaker 1>your shell, and see what amazing things you can achieve

43
00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:22.560
<v Speaker 1>when you're not afraid to be a little uncomfortable. Five.

44
00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:26.879
<v Speaker 1>Celebrate your wins, no matter how small. Acknowledge your accomplishments.

45
00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:31.159
<v Speaker 1>You survived another anxiety inducing meeting, you finally sent that email,

46
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:33.919
<v Speaker 1>or you managed to put on pants without tripping over them.

47
00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:36.919
<v Speaker 1>We've all been there. Give yourself a pat on the

48
00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:39.439
<v Speaker 1>back and keep crushing it. Let me tell you about

49
00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:43.919
<v Speaker 1>someone who absolutely nailed this whole calculated risk thing. Emma Chamberlain.

50
00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:46.719
<v Speaker 1>Remember her, that girl who started out with just some

51
00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:49.840
<v Speaker 1>random vlogs on YouTube talking about her day to day life,

52
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:54.080
<v Speaker 1>her love for coffee and well being a teenager. Yeah,

53
00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:57.199
<v Speaker 1>she turned that into an empire. She took risks, build

54
00:02:57.240 --> 00:03:00.000
<v Speaker 1>a brand around her authenticity, and now she's got millions

55
00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:03.759
<v Speaker 1>of followers, multiple successful businesses, and even a book deal.

56
00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:07.599
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't easy. She faced haters, self doubt, and the

57
00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:11.039
<v Speaker 1>pressure to keep up with constantly changing trends, but she

58
00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:14.919
<v Speaker 1>kept pushing forward, embracing the unknown and trusting in herself.

59
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:18.520
<v Speaker 1>Think about it. Emma didn't just get lucky. She took

60
00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:21.960
<v Speaker 1>calculated risks, learned from her mistakes, and never gave up

61
00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:24.520
<v Speaker 1>on her vision. That's what we need to do too.

62
00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:27.680
<v Speaker 1>We got to stop letting fear dictate our lives. We

63
00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:30.560
<v Speaker 1>got a ditch that what if mindset and embrace them

64
00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:35.400
<v Speaker 1>why not mentality? Remember, you are capable of amazing things,

65
00:03:35.800 --> 00:03:38.400
<v Speaker 1>but you have to believe it first. So go out there,

66
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:41.360
<v Speaker 1>take those calculated risks and show the world what you're

67
00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:43.879
<v Speaker 1>made of. And don't forget to hit me up on
