Brain Expert: 6 Habits to Boost Focus & Concentration By 48 Percent (Hack Your Dopamine!) with TJ Power

And with that, that means how good is the connection that I'm experiencing in my life right now?

That might be connecting with your children more, your partner more. But fundamentally, you see that if we get more oxytocin, it moves our mind towards that close connection that a human so deeply needs. And currently we're all in dopamine, dating apps, DMs, all that world.

We need to move towards more intimate connection with the people that are really close to us, our family and our friends and our kids and our partners.

I think ultimately society needs a massive shift on the phone. I think people really need to start reconsidering this phone. I think when you look at the quality of the connection you have with your family, you go around to your parents' house to see them or you go to see your friends. And if you really start observing from the moment you've listened to this podcast,

How much is that phone actually disrupting the experience I have with these people that I love? It's very significant. And I think families and partners and kids need to adopt the mentality of considering this is phone free time. I walk through my parents' door.

I actually now have found that I have to leave my phone at home when I go to my parents' house simply because I'll talk to them for a bit and then I'll be going to the bathroom. There's like phone out, okay, Instagram, email, WhatsApp. And then my mind leaves oxytocin and returns to dopamine desire. It's so important to have these prolonged dopamine detoxes where oxytocin is the primary goal.

And the phone is the primary thing disrupting that. If we can start becoming comfortable with the idea of, wow, I'm going to spend two hours off my phone. I'm going to spend an hour off my phone. And my only goal is going to be to listen to these people, to look them in the eye, to ask them good questions and to give them love. I think that fundamentally is going to shift the way society operates.

I would love everyone, after listening to this podcast, to plan in the next seven days to spend 60 minutes in nature without their phone, considering what their primary pursuit is in their life right now. It can be a bit uncomfortable when you go into the quiet. Remember that idea of the boredom barrier. Your brain will settle. It will calm.

worries might come into your mind at the beginning of that walk but I promise you by the end of that 60 minutes you're going to be incredibly clear as to what you're truly seeking for in your life maybe the phone is impacting you maybe you want a stronger relationship with your partner maybe you think our porn could be a factor in my life today maybe your work needs to be a greater priority in your life but we need as a society long periods of time in nature without our phones
