All right, mama let’s talk about your late night scrollingAdded:
All right, mama. We need to talk.
Staying up until 2:00 a.m. on your phone is a bad habit.
>> [laughter] >> But, it's also your nervous system refusing to let you rest. You are looking for more dopamine hits, by the way, but we won't even get into that.
So, here's what's actually happening.
All day, you're stuck in survival mode.
You got cortisol pumping, your senses on high alert, your body's bracing, right?
By 9:00 p.m., you're exhausted, but your system is still activated. So, it doesn't just switch off. And unfortunately, just because the kids are asleep, doesn't mean that you go to sleep all the time, right? You scroll, and not because you're addicted to your phone. Well, maybe you are, but because your body is still waiting for that threat to pass, right? It's still looking, and this is dysregulation. It's not a willpower problem, it's a nervous system problem. Comment word reset, and I'll send you the details for my free live class I'm hosting, all about resetting your nervous system, and how to how to live the best
