The reason you're not creative. Not motivated. Not focused.

AKA the stuff that came easy to you as a kid.

Is that every form of "relaxing" in our society is SMASHING our minds with serotonin and dopamine.

TikTok. Video games. Drinking. WATCHING sports.

If you're doing these to relax, your mind is never at rest.

Like a dude spending every waking minute in a strip club. You'll become numb to things that used to drive you wild. Your motivation to chase plummets.

When you relax, you have to actually relax and empty the mental bucket.

Drop it all. Read. Pick up an instrument. Lift. Keep your phone in a drawer far away from you. DEPRIVE yourself of the easy serotonin and dopamine.

All that gusto you used to have as a kid will come right back. Then USE the drive on what matters. AKA the thing, the work. Then ACTUALLY relax again.

99% of people are on a treadmill. They do low-focus, low-creativity, ass work... Then get home and scroll, eat sugar, play video games/scroll/watch Fox News/CNN, wank, binge Netflix and repeat.
