And the science behind this is when you're engaged in social media, you basically have dopamine dysregulation, right?
Like you're in this addiction state and you don't realize it, but it's actually creating all kinds of harm.
And then you engage with social media to feel normal again.
Now, once you pull out of it,
and you have that break, you kind of get, you're out of the spell.
You're not hypnotized anymore.
And then you get to feel it for what it is.
So now when I pull up the feed, it feels toxic.
Like it feels like I've had a fast food meal or like I've had, I'm in a secondhand, room of secondhand smoke or like, it just feels so bad.
And I guess that I pay attention to these feelings because over the past five years, I've been doing like hundreds of experiments to my body, like what things make my body rejuvenate and what things make my body die.
So I have this intuition I've built.
And now when I go into social media, it like literally feels like death.
And so it's complicated though, because I love social media.
I love to interact.
But also when I get on, it's like, I'm like, nah, this is not good.
So honestly, it's complicated.
Isn't that interesting?
Like in those moments when you feel sober, it's like you do, you can viscerally feel it.
