Speaker 1: Yo, yo yo, what's up? Fam Zayden Cruz here back
Speaker 1: with another episode of the dopamine detos. Now, let me
Speaker 1: ask you something. Ever feel like you're stuck in this
Speaker 1: endless loop of scrolling through TikTok comparing your life to
Speaker 1: everyone else's highlight reels. Yeah, me too. It's a constant
Speaker 1: stream of I woke up like this, living my best
Speaker 1: life and just launched another million dollar company. Meanwhile, you're
Speaker 1: over here trying to figure out what to have for dinner.
Speaker 1: Let alone conquer the world. But listen up, because today
Speaker 1: we're talking about fear and doubt, those pesky little gremlins
Speaker 1: that whisper in your ear, telling you to play it safe,
Speaker 1: to stick with the familiar, to avoid any risk whatsoever.
Speaker 1: And trust me, I get it. Fear is like that
Speaker 1: ex who keeps showing up at your door even though
Speaker 1: you told them to scram. It's annoying, persistent, and sometimes
Speaker 1: you just want to scream into the void. But here's
Speaker 1: the thing. Fear is also an opportunity. It's a sign
Speaker 1: that you're about to step outside of your comfort zone,
Speaker 1: which is where all the real magic happens. Think about
Speaker 1: it like this, have any of those I woke up
Speaker 1: like this TikTok's ever made you think, Damn I wish
Speaker 1: I had the guts to do something that cool. Yeah,
Speaker 1: me too, but guess what you can. Here are five
Speaker 1: things to remember when fear and doubt try to pull
Speaker 1: you down. One. Acknowledge your fears. Don't bury them deep
Speaker 1: inside or pretend they don't exist. The first step is
Speaker 1: to actually admit that you're feeling scared, like seriously, say
Speaker 1: it out loud, tell your best friend, write it in
Speaker 1: a journal, or even scream it into the void metaphorically,
Speaker 1: of course. Two. Reframe your perspective. Fear often distorts reality.
Speaker 1: It makes mountains out of molehills and convinces you that
Speaker 1: failure is inevitable. Challenge those negative thoughts. Ask yourself, is
Speaker 1: this fear based on facts or just my own anxiety?
Speaker 1: Chances are the fear is way bigger than the actual risk.
Speaker 1: Three Break it down. Overwhelmed by a huge goal, break
Speaker 1: it down into smaller, more manageable steps. It's like leveling
Speaker 1: up in a video game, unker one level at a time.
Speaker 1: Celebrate each small victory along the way, and remember that
Speaker 1: progress is always better than perfection. Four. Embrace discomfort growth
Speaker 1: happens outside of your comfort zone. That awkward feeling, that's
Speaker 1: just your brain expanding. So push yourself, step out of
Speaker 1: your shell, and see what amazing things you can achieve
Speaker 1: when you're not afraid to be a little uncomfortable. Five.
Speaker 1: Celebrate your wins, no matter how small. Acknowledge your accomplishments.
Speaker 1: You survived another anxiety inducing meeting, you finally sent that email,
Speaker 1: or you managed to put on pants without tripping over them.
Speaker 1: We've all been there. Give yourself a pat on the
Speaker 1: back and keep crushing it. Let me tell you about
Speaker 1: someone who absolutely nailed this whole calculated risk thing. Emma Chamberlain.
Speaker 1: Remember her, that girl who started out with just some
Speaker 1: random vlogs on YouTube talking about her day to day life,
Speaker 1: her love for coffee and well being a teenager. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she turned that into an empire. She took risks, build
Speaker 1: a brand around her authenticity, and now she's got millions
Speaker 1: of followers, multiple successful businesses, and even a book deal.
Speaker 1: It wasn't easy. She faced haters, self doubt, and the
Speaker 1: pressure to keep up with constantly changing trends, but she
Speaker 1: kept pushing forward, embracing the unknown and trusting in herself.
Speaker 1: Think about it. Emma didn't just get lucky. She took
Speaker 1: calculated risks, learned from her mistakes, and never gave up
Speaker 1: on her vision. That's what we need to do too.
Speaker 1: We got to stop letting fear dictate our lives. We
Speaker 1: got a ditch that what if mindset and embrace them
Speaker 1: why not mentality? Remember, you are capable of amazing things,
Speaker 1: but you have to believe it first. So go out there,
Speaker 1: take those calculated risks and show the world what you're
Speaker 1: made of. And don't forget to hit me up on
Speaker 1: Insta at Zaiden Cruz. Let me know your biggest fear
Speaker 1: and how you're going to conquer it. Together we can
Speaker 1: break free from the dopamine detox cycle and rewrite our
Speaker 1: own success stories. Now, go forth and slay fam and
