Today, I want to talk about 15 slow dopamine habits that have genuinely been changing my life.
2
I really believe that overstimulation doesn't hurt you in the moment.
3
Like, you don't notice it.
4
You don't notice that you're being overstimulated.
5
It feels great when you're doing something that gives you a lot of cheap and fast dopamine.
6
But the thing is, it hurts you later.
7
There is a quote I absolutely love.
8
The cost of your bad habits is in the future, but the cost of your good habits is in the present.
9
And I think we can say the exact same thing about dopamine.
10
The cost of a fast dopamine habit is in the future.
11
Because scrolling feels easier right now.
12
There's no friction, so that's why we choose it over doing a puzzle, for example.
13
But a week of slowly chipping away at that puzzle is going to make you feel
14
so much more proud of yourself and so much more fulfilled than
15
if you dedicate all of your free time that week to scrolling.
16
So let's get into the video and talk about all the different slow dopamine habits
17
that you can gently add to your routine.
18
Also, I want to remind you that if you want to create your own dopamine menu, I actually have a document that walks you through the whole process.
19
Everything is very clear, so if you want to download it for free, you can click the link in the description.
20
Alright, so let's begin our conversation about all the different slow dopamine habits, and I want to start by talking about your body,
21
all the different habits that are connected to our bodies.
22
That is honestly my favorite place to begin, because when it comes to overstimulation, what really helps me is regulating my body.
23
Because I can tell my brain a thousand times to calm down, don't stress about it, but it's not going to work.
24
What is going to work is moving all of that energy through my body.
25
So the first habit that I want to share here is walking at half your normal pace.
26
When you're going somewhere, especially if you're not rushing, you're on time, everything is great, just try to walk a bit slower.
27
It sounds too simple to even matter, but your brain has to downshift to match your body.
28
And a lot of us are constantly rushing right now, even when, let's say, it's Sunday, you're just going for a walk, there is no reason to rush,
29
but you still feel like your body is rushing for some reason.
30
So try to consciously direct your attention to your body and walk a bit slower.
31
When you're moving slowly in this flowy kind of way,
32
your brain is definitely not gonna think in this fast scroll mode.
33
Because everything about our lives right now is fast and we're trying to make it even faster every single day.
34
So it's natural that once you slow your body down, your brain is gonna be like, what is going on?
35
That is very unfamiliar.
36
That is a little bit strange.
37
Maybe that's even boring, but that's okay.
38
It's uncomfortable the first time you try it, but maybe in a few minutes or maybe the next time you actually do it,
39
something in your body is going to start to settle.
40
It's going to start feeling different because you're giving yourself permission to slow down at least for 10 minutes.
41
All right, so habit number two I want to share is hold your stretches 10 seconds longer.
42
If you don't even have a stretch routine, start stretching.
43
It is very, very good for your body.
44
The reason why I love yoga so much isn't just about flexibility.
45
I can stretch my body.
46
I can become more flexible.
47
It's not just about that.
48
When you are stretching or you are in a yoga pose that you have to hold for five breaths,
49
let's say, you are learning how to become comfortable in an uncomfortable setting.
50
And that teaches you how to work with your nervous system, how to regulate yourself.
51
Instead of pulling out of this mildly uncomfortable feeling, you're learning how to breathe and how to make it more comfortable,
52
which is exactly the skill that we all need to learn nowadays.
53
Because right now, the moment we feel slightly uncomfortable, we reach for our phones.
54
It has become a digital pacifier.
55
It soothes us.
56
But the problem, obviously, is that yes, it soothes you, but at the same time, it makes you even more overstimulated.
57
So it's not a sustainable habit to have.
58
And habit number three that is connected to your body is try yin yoga.
59
This type of yoga honestly still humbles me because it is such a good practice for your mind.
60
Yin poses are held for three to five minutes.
61
They're completely passive.
62
There's no muscle engagement.
63
You're trying to relax your full body.
64
And because of that, because you're not doing anything crazy challenging like a crow pose or a handstand, your mind gets bored.
65
It gets restless and it's completely normal.
66
Yin yoga teaches you how to embrace that boredom and how to train it.
67
Think of it as a muscle that you're trying to train.
68
You're sitting in this discomfort.
69
Your mind is bored.
70
You want to be doing something else, but you stay in it.
71
And habit number four is take a movement class in something you love.
72
A type of movement where you're not constantly tracking all of your metrics.
73
You're not doing it for fitness.
74
You're not doing it to lose weight or burn calories.
75
You're not using your Apple Watch.
76
You're not using your Aura Ring because you're just doing it to enjoy it.
77
And that is what yoga is like for me and also dance.
78
When movement isn't tied to a specific goal, your brain can experience it in a completely different way.
79
It becomes play again.
80
There is this like air around you.
81
You don't feel restricted by anything.
82
And play is slow dopamine in its purest form.
83
For many of us right now, even walking has become something that we need to track.
84
You can't just go outside and enjoy the weather and walk and,
85
you know, people watch or just look at all the trees and the birds.
86
No, you have to make sure you hit 10,000 steps or else it doesn't count.
87
And when you're tracking so many things in your life, like at work, you have to track all of your metrics,
88
you know, the goals and the plans and all of those different things.
89
And then when you get to take care of your body and do something just for you, you're again tracking.
90
Everything has to be tracked.
91
Where is the fun in it?
92
Where is that play, that joy?
93
And just doing it just because.
94
So I highly encourage you to take movement classes just for fun, just for you, not because you're tracking something.
95
Now let's move to the next category of all the slow dopamine habits
96
that are going to help you slow down through your senses.
97
So habit number five is using a gua sha, maybe a face roller, or maybe dry brushing your skin.
98
When you add a sensory experience like this to your morning routine or your evening routine,
99
you tell yourself that it's okay to slow down.
100
Again, for me, when I do my gua shao or my face roller, I mostly do it because it helps me slow down.
101
It helps me reconnect with my body, like, you know, touch my skin in a different way.
102
I'm not doing it because, again, this is another way to be more productive.
103
Absolutely not.
104
This habit works when you give yourself time to go slow.
105
Because rushing through it defeats the entire purpose.
106
So if you feel like adding a face roller,
107
dry brushing, or a gua sha into your routine is going to make you feel even more overwhelmed, then okay.
108
Maybe you should scale back and just do your skincare routine super slow.
109
And that's it.
110
That is going to be step one.
111
Not adding more things, but slowing your current routine down.
112
The next habit I have here is listen to a full album, eyes closed, front to back.
113
This idea came to me when I learned that in my city, there are places called listening bars,
114
where you come in and they take your phone away,
115
they lock it somewhere, you go to a dark room and you listen to a specific album front to back.
116
There's no phone, nothing is distracting you, you're listening to music.
117
And I really like this experience because in a way, if you really think about it,
118
right now we don't really listen to music as a separate focused experience.
119
You usually listen to music when you're going somewhere,
120
when you're cleaning your apartment when you're cooking it's always with something else so you're kind of listening to
121
all of these songs but you're also not really fully there
122
because you're doing a different thing music now is often just background noise to something else
123
and i think those listening bars
124
or maybe you can even create this whole experience at home just put on a playlist maybe wear headphones,
125
you know, close your eyes and just listen to it.
126
Listen to the full album.
127
It is such a nice experience and it helps you stay away from your phone
128
because for 30 or 40 minutes you're not going to be using your phone.
129
And habit number seven is people watch or look out of the window while you're commuting.
130
Right now when I need to go somewhere one thing
131
that I changed is I no longer use earbuds and I'm also no longer on my phone.
132
What I try to do is I sit down, I people watch or I look out of the window and I let my mind get bored.
133
I let my mind wander without directing it anywhere because for
134
so many of us this commuting time is the only time
135
that you can allow your brain to just process instead of consume instead of being constantly entertained
136
and to be honest when I do that I get
137
so many different ideas
138
and I'm always like okay I need to write it down
139
like this is a great idea maybe for a video maybe for something else
140
or I just remember like a thing
141
that I really wanted to do like oh I wanted to
142
buy a new pot for my plant like really random ideas pop into my head when I allow my brain to process.
143
Alright so now let's talk about all the habits that reward you slowly over days and weeks months, or maybe even years.
144
Habit number eight is build something with your hands over days or weeks.
145
It could be a puzzle that you leave on the table and you slowly chip away at it every single day.
146
Or maybe you're building a Lego set.
147
Maybe you can get into cross-stitching or learn how to mend your own clothing.
148
All of those things are so great because again, you're reconnecting with your body, you're doing something with your hands, and it's not something that you finish quickly.
149
You get to watch progress happen in front of your eyes, and this is just so satisfying.
150
Well, maybe in the beginning, it's going to feel a little bit weird, because now we're so used to,
151
you know, fast and cheap dopamine that makes us feel satisfied immediately.
152
But when you're working on a puzzle, well, of course, sometimes you're going to get frustrated.
153
Sometimes something is not going to work out and it's going to take you days, weeks, or maybe even months to understand how to put all the pieces together.
154
And that is okay.
155
That is exactly something that gives you that slow dopamine that makes you feel so proud of yourself.
156
That is the definition of hard work.
157
Habit number nine that I put here is pick a skill that helps you reconnect with your younger self.
158
Think about something that you loved to do as a kid before you even cared to be good at it.
159
Like you weren't thinking, okay, this is my level, this is someone else's level, that person is so great on social media, they're perfect and I could never become like that.
160
No, think about something that you love to do just because.
161
And give yourself some time to actually reconnect with that skill and truly enjoy it.
162
That skill for me now is makeup.
163
it's doing my own nails it's everything connected to beauty
164
because as a kid I love to dress up
165
and do like modeling I don't know experiences for my family I would sit my family down on the couch
166
and I would pretend that I was a model like a runaway model with different outfits
167
that I would create for myself using my mom's clothes my grandma's clothes and I would create a show for my family.
168
Habit number 10 is get plants and take care of them for years.
169
Watch them grow.
170
It's also really interesting for me right now how in the past I never wanted to get plants for myself
171
because I was like okay it's another thing I need to take care of.
172
I was so overstimulated.
173
I was so tired, exhausted.
174
I didn't want to do any of it but now I do.
175
Like I have this genuine desire to take care of plants
176
and I actually have one plant for now in my apartment that I love to take care of.
177
I've had this plant for like three years and it's grown so much
178
and I think in a few days I actually want to buy a slightly bigger pot for it
179
because I want to change the soil.
180
Like I really really want to get into it.
181
All right, so now let's transition into your kitchen
182
because I think food is one of those areas where you can really practice slow dopamine.
183
Marinate something before cooking.
184
When you try to marinate things instead of just throwing everything straight into the pan from your fridge,
185
it's a different type of cooking because you have to think about it beforehand.
186
I love to marinate my tofu, I love to marinate my seitan.
187
And speaking of seitan, yesterday I actually purchased like an online masterclass to learn how to make seitan in different ways.
188
It helps me work on my cooking skills, but mostly what I really enjoy about it is it helps
189
me understand the science of why certain things work together in terms of the textures
190
and the flavors and how to make something that genuinely tastes delicious.
191
Habit number 12 is ferment something.
192
You guys know that I love pickling.
193
I love fermenting and pickling my own things, my own vegetables.
194
And again, it's crazy because five years ago, I was not like that.
195
And now I just feel so drawn to all of those slower activities, activities that reward me later.
196
Because fermentation can take days or even weeks and you can't really rush the bacteria along.
197
I've already made my own kimchi.
198
I pickled cucumbers and also radishes and also my own sauerkraut.
199
And habit number 13 here is cook one long traditional meal with people every few months.
200
If you really think about it, every culture has some recipes that are meant to be made with other people.
201
They take a very long time to cook if you decide to cook them by yourself.
202
And in my Slavic culture, there are so many examples of that.
203
Draniki, pelmeni, like so many different things.
204
And so, a few months ago, I invited my friends over to my house, and we made draniki together.
205
It was really fun.
206
Draniki are basically potatoes that you cook in a very specific way, and they taste really good.
207
But if you try to make it yourself, it's going to take you probably like four hours because it's a lot of work.
208
And this habit isn't just about slow dopamine.
209
It's also about connecting with people around you.
210
Something that we lose when we spend a lot of time online.
211
Being on social media and seeing your friends' stories on social media is very different from actually,
212
you know, meeting your friends in real life and doing something together.
213
This habit is about connection, tradition, and making something with your hands all at once.
214
And now let's close down the video with two of my favorite habits.
215
So habit number 14 is read the book before watching the movie.
216
I think it could be a really great fun thing you could try, especially if you want to build a reading habit.
217
So you can see There's so many shows and movies that are based on books.
218
And so you can tell yourself that, okay, first I'm going to read that book and then I'm going to watch the movie.
219
Reading the book first obviously takes longer, but it makes the story feel very different
220
because you actually got to read it first instead of just seeing someone else's version of it on screen.
221
And again, when it comes to building a completely new habit from scratch, it's always better to make it fun,
222
to ask yourself what would it look like if it were easy.
223
So a great motivating factor for you could be watching the movie later.
224
First you read the book and then you watch the movie.
225
And habit number 15 that can help you get that slow dopamine is write a letter to your future self.
226
I do it every single year.
227
Usually in December or in January, I love to use this website futureme.org and I basically write a letter for myself,
228
an email, that I'm going to get in a year.
229
I think this habit explains slow dopamine the best.
230
You get nothing right now and you need to do some work, obviously crafting that email.
231
You have to just trust that in a year, future you is going to open that email and feel something great.
232
And I can promise you guys, I think I've done it already for the last three years.
233
And every single time I received that email, I just feel so excited.
234
Because obviously by that time, I already don't remember what I actually wrote.
235
And so opening that email and reading that email just feels so exciting.
236
So I think that's gonna be it.
237
These are all of your 15 slow dopamine habits.
238
Please remember that you don't have to do all of them all at once.
239
Pick one, maybe two that interests you the most and start from there.
240
I just love to give you a lot of different ideas but I also don't want to make you feel overwhelmed.
241
If you decide to try any of these, please let me know in the comments which ones you're starting with.
242
And if you like this video, please don't forget to give it a thumbs up and subscribe to my YouTube channel.

التظليل الصوتي (Shadowing) تقنية تعلم لغة مدعومة علمياً، طُورت أصلاً لتدريب المترجمين الفوريين المحترفين. الطريقة بسيطة لكنها قوية: تستمع لصوت إنجليزي أصلي وتكرره فوراً بصوت عالٍ — كظل يتبع المتحدث بتأخير 1-2 ثانية. تُظهر الأبحاث تحسناً كبيراً في دقة النطق والتنغيم والإيقاع وربط الأصوات والاستماع والطلاقة.
