Let Them. — You don’t even realize it - but before you get out of bed, you’ve already made a choice that can hijack your entire day. You reached for your phone. I get it… You want to stay informed. You need to check that email. You say you’re just going to scroll for a little bit. But it only takes 30 seconds for your nervous system to light up, your dopamine to drain, and now you’re carrying the weight of the world… all while still being in your pajamas. That tiny micro choice to grab your phone first thing in the morning? It burns the exact mental fuel you need to feel focused, motivated, and patient all day long. Harvard-trained psychiatrist Dr. Alok Kanojia (@HealthyGamerGG ) says your brain is like a lemon filled with dopamine, and scrolling as soon as you wake up is a "hard squeeze” that drains the juice you need for the rest of the day. By the end of this episode of The Mel Robbins Podcast, you’ll know exactly what to do whenever you need a reset - from the moment you wake up, throughout the day when your patience and energy wear thin, to bedtime when your brain won’t shut off.
