1
If you're interested in everything but can't seem to stick with anything, there is a name for it.
2
It's called popcorn brain.
3
You start learning Italian, then you try pottery, then running, then a new business idea at 1am,
4
so you feel like you have this constant itch to explore new things.
5
And from the outside, all of this might look like curiosity, which is a good thing, right?
6
But here's what I realized.
7
A lot of the time it's not really curiosity.
8
It's something else.
9
It's something much sneakier.
10
So in this video I want to explain what popcorn brain actually is, why you often find yourself curious about absolutely everything in the world,
11
but then all of a sudden you quit halfway and struggle to commit to the process.
12
Before we start, I want to remind you guys that
13
if you want to go deeper into rewiring your attention and your focus, my new course, The Dopamine Reset, is coming out very soon.
14
So if you want to join the waitlist right now, the link is in the description.
15
Alright, so let me describe the pattern first of being curious about everything but committed to nothing.
16
And you tell me if this sounds familiar.
17
You get excited about something new.
18
Let's say it's pottery.
19
You watch a bunch of videos on YouTube, on TikTok about it.
20
You look up classes.
21
Maybe you even buy all the tools.
22
You start going to in -person classes.
23
It feels amazing.
24
And then a few weeks later, you're not really doing it anymore.
25
Like you didn't decide to quit.
26
It just kind of faded.
27
And now you're excited about something else, something completely different, something that feels new.
28
And if you look around your home, you can probably see all the evidence.
29
The guitar in the corner, the language app you haven't opened since March.
30
The half -filled journal, the course you bought and watched two lessons of.
31
And all of this evidence starts to pile up and it makes you think, I have so much potential but nothing to show for it.
32
And so this is something that I want to talk about in today's video.
33
And before we go even further, I want to say something super important.
34
There is a reason behind why we get curious very quickly but struggle to commit.
35
And it makes a lot of sense once you see it and once you understand it.
36
And it has nothing to do with you being lazy or you being broken.
37
Before we start talking about what a popcorn brain actually is, I want to tell you something that I'm very curious about and very consistent with.
38
And that is my skincare routine because it's one of those moments in the morning
39
and at night when I get to spend time with myself without distractions.
40
This video is sponsored by YesStyle.
41
They have a huge selection of Korean and Japanese skincare and makeup all in one place and they ship internationally.
42
I want to show right now a few products that I've been using a lot that you can get on their website.
43
A lot of these products are almost empty like this essence for example
44
and some of them I have repurchased for like the fifth time.
45
So let's begin with this one.
46
This is the Missha Essence that I use as a toner and it makes my skin feel so hydrated.
47
As you can see, I wear a lot of makeup so hydration is really important for me, especially when I'm doing a full face.
48
Also to prep my skin for makeup, I use these pads from MediCube.
49
When it comes to moisturizers, my two favorite products right now are these one from Purito.
50
This one is already my second bottle
51
and this one is pretty much empty already like there's nothing in here
52
when it comes to sunscreen i'm currently using this one by skin 10 -04
53
and i think this is my fifth bottle already like let me show you guys
54
because i have another one over there ta -da i really like this sunscreen it doesn't leave a white cast
55
and it sits really well under makeup and finally my new find
56
which is again i don't know if you can see
57
but it is pretty much empty like there's almost nothing left
58
is this eselaic acid serum again all of these brands and all of these products I love and use every single day.
59
And you can get them too on YesStyle.
60
Everything I just showed you is going to be linked in the description.
61
And if you use my discount code, you will get 12 % off for orders over $39.
62
Alright, so let's first talk about what popcorn brain actually is.
63
Popcorn brain is what happens when our minds spend too much time online, when we're chronically on our phones.
64
Our thoughts start popping from one thing to the next, like popcorn in a pan.
65
And right now, the way our days are structured, all of this is actually adding to us experiencing this popcorn brain effect.
66
We watch a lot of short videos, we get a lot of notifications, we have a bunch of tabs open.
67
while trying to concentrate and work.
68
We receive messages all the time, right?
69
So your brain has something new to focus on every five seconds.
70
And obviously a big player in this whole popcorn brain conversation is dopamine.
71
Because dopamine is not really a pleasure chemical, it's a wanting chemical.
72
It's all about anticipation.
73
It rises when something new and potentially exciting is coming up.
74
So novelty is exactly what your brain gets excited about.
75
It's something new, it's something unfamiliar, I don't know what to expect, so that is why I'm excited.
76
And right now we're feeding our brains novelty all the time, all day long.
77
So the brain starts to expect that pace, it gets used to it, so anything slow feels unbearable.
78
And you know what's slow?
79
Real, actual life.
80
Learning something, committing to the process, learning a language, an instrument, a handstand, building a business, making YouTube videos.
81
None of these things give you something new every 15 seconds.
82
They're all about playing this long -term game.
83
And of course, right now, we still care about doing something deeply rewarding, you know, getting all of that real dopamine,
84
not the cheap kind from doom scrolling and like constantly being on our phones.
85
We care about real goals.
86
We care about committing.
87
However, you know, actually doing something for many months
88
or many years is completely different from the speed that our brains are now used to.
89
Real life can't match that speed.
90
So that is why a lot of us, we feel curious about something, but then the moment it gets hard, we quit.
91
The second thing I want to talk about is how switching to something new might look like curiosity,
92
but sometimes it's actually you running away from something.
93
It's you procrastinating, pretty much.
94
Basically, when we start learning new things, there's always a pattern to what this journey looks like.
95
The first stage is the beginning, and that is the exciting part.
96
That is when we have a lot of novelty,
97
it feels exciting, and we dedicate a lot of time to this thing that we want to practice.
98
You improve really fast, everything is new, every day you learn something that you didn't know before.
99
Your brain absolutely loves this stage because it's full of novelty and small little wins.
100
But then we get to stage two, which is the frustrating part.
101
The part where a lot of emotions, a lot of uncomfortable emotions rise up.
102
At some point you stop improving so fast.
103
You still practice, you still put in the work, but it feels like nothing is happening.
104
You start feeling a lot of different emotions.
105
Maybe it feels uncomfortable, maybe a little bit embarrassing.
106
And that itch to try something new shows up exactly right here.
107
Because starting something new takes you back out of all of these uncomfortable emotions and back to stage one.
108
You know, you're again romanticizing everything.
109
It again feels super duper exciting.
110
The fast progress, the novelty, you're super curious.
111
It's the beginning.
112
You might think that you're doing it because you're now curious about something else and this old thing, like you no longer like it.
113
But in reality, if we dig deeper, it might be you running away from frustration, from all of these uncomfortable emotions.
114
There's a book I highly recommend checking out.
115
It's called Mastery by George Leonard.
116
In the book, the author describes a type of person he calls the dabbler.
117
The dabbler loves the beginning, loves the excitement, the gear,
118
the new progress and the moment they hit a plateau they're out they're on to the next thing
119
and when I read that I was like oh
120
that sounds very familiar like I have experienced that so many times
121
and I know I'm not alone I know right now like we often really struggle with understanding whether
122
or not we are just curious about so many different things or we're actually running away from something.
123
And the part of the book that stayed with me was this one.
124
George Leonard says that most of the time in any journey, you are in the plateau.
125
Progress comes in short little jumps and then you're on a flat stretch again for a very long time,
126
which means plateaus are in the part of life that you have to get through as quickly as possible.
127
Plateaus are life.
128
So the goal becomes, if you're truly genuinely curious about something,
129
the goal isn't to run away from a plateau the moment you hit it.
130
The goal is to learn how to be okay inside them.
131
Like, how to be okay inside the plateau.
132
Maybe you even learn to enjoy them, to find what's good about the practice itself, not just, you know, the fast, quick progress.
133
Because if you only feel good when you're improving fast, you will feel bad most of the time.
134
This is truly such a great mindset shift because once you really understand it, yes, maybe you're going to feel a bit sad like,
135
oh, you know, I wanted my whole journey to always be exciting, like I always wanted to experience those quick dopamine hits.
136
But at the same time, like when you realize that most of the journey is a plateau, there is a sense of calm,
137
to be honest, like when I really think about it.
138
This realization is extremely important for our nervous system regulation because when we're constantly chasing quick dopamine hits,
139
that is exactly when we get overstimulated.
140
We feel tired but wired.
141
We feel like we can never catch a break.
142
And when you realize that whatever it is you're doing, plateaus or life, it feels really freeing.
143
Like it gives you all of those opportunities to add more fun,
144
more ease, more flow, something that I talk about a lot on my channel.
145
So the question you can ask yourself here
146
if you find yourself being curious about a lot of different
147
things is am I genuinely drawn to this new thing or am I running away from frustration?
148
You know from
149
that old thing I was working on I feel a lot of uncomfortable emotions uncomfortable feelings
150
and I'm trying to run away from them and this new thing is temporarily masking all of those uncomfortable emotions.
151
The next thing I want to talk to you guys about is how things only truly get good
152
when they stop being new.
153
And let me explain what I mean here.
154
There's a very important principle in finances.
155
It's called compound interest.
156
And we can apply the same principles to skills, to learning something new and actually like staying long enough to see the results.
157
So when we talk about compound interest for money, it's when you put in a little it and then you see your finances grow over time.
158
Yes, at first when you start saving or investing, it seems like nothing is happening.
159
But then slowly it starts to grow on top of itself.
160
And after a while, your money grows much faster than you expected.
161
Skills work in the exact same way.
162
We can apply the same principle of compound interest to skills.
163
Especially when knowledge meets experience.
164
Knowledge is all the things you learn, right?
165
Like you watch videos, you read books, you watch tutorials.
166
And experience is what happens when you actually do something again and again and again.
167
On their own, neither goes very far.
168
But when they meet, they start multiplying each other.
169
Every new thing you learn lands on top of everything you have practiced.
170
And here's what we need to remember compound interest
171
and finances it only works if you stay like
172
if you keep your money somewhere long enough
173
if you take your money out after two weeks you will never see it grow
174
and it's the exact same thing with skills
175
when you keep starting over you know
176
when you get curious about the next new thing
177
and the next new thing you always reset your interest back to zero or in simpler words, something that I mentioned earlier,
178
things only get good when they stop being new.
179
One of my biggest intentions for 2026 was improving my makeup skills, like really learning new techniques,
180
you know, understanding how to apply makeup correctly, like different products, different brushes, like all of those different things.
181
And of course, it's one thing, you know watching tiktok videos
182
or maybe buying courses watching youtube videos on how to do makeup
183
but it's a completely different thing when i actually sit down
184
and do the work
185
because i have to confront all of the emotions in the moment like this morning
186
when i was doing my makeup i decided to glue a false lash just like the corner of my eye
187
and i don't know what it is about actually using falsies that just
188
you know i experience a lot of frustration
189
because i start confronting my perfectionism
190
that i want everything to be perfect from the very beginning
191
and with false lashes just like with like a wing
192
if you use like an eyeliner things are almost never perfect
193
like sometimes you have to redo the same thing over
194
and over again and you truly only get better with experience
195
and so overall I can say that I'm actually really happy
196
that I decided to you know walk through all of
197
that frustration and actually finish my makeup routine
198
because the fun you're looking for
199
when you constantly jump to the new thing the next new thing
200
this fun is often on the other side of you know, frustration, the boring part, the plateau,
201
it's on the other side of it.
202
Now I want to talk about something that's not very obvious when we are curious about a lot of different things,
203
but we struggle to commit long term.
204
The cost of always switching isn't only that you don't get good at things.
205
There is a much deeper cost on the level of your identity.
206
Every time you quit something, you kind of teach yourself and then reinforce the same lesson.
207
I am a type of person who can't follow through.
208
Like the moment I experience frustration, the moment, you know, my wing isn't perfect or I can't glue falsies perfectly,
209
I have to quit.
210
And you hear the same type of inner dialogue over and over again.
211
And after a while, what starts happening is you start truly believing it despite the boredom,
212
despite the plateau, despite all of the frustration, you can still do it.
213
So the next time you get excited about trying something new, there is a voice in your head that keeps on telling you,
214
yeah, we both know how this ends and it just makes it so much easier to quit yet again.
215
And guys, this is something that hurts so much
216
and I'm saying this as someone who has lived through many of those experiences.
217
Like I was so afraid of making a mistake.
218
I was so tied by my perfectionism that it was easier for me to quit.
219
It was easier for me to say, you know, I don't really want it like that much
220
or I don't really need it that much than to actually work with my nervous system regulation,
221
work with my emotions journal or maybe talk to my therapist to actually figure things out and to move forward.
222
The painful thing about all of this is when you quit,
223
you never actually get to meet the version of you on the other side of it.
224
Like, I wonder what this version of me looks like.
225
Very, very curious.
226
And to be able to actually meet that version of you, you need to move through the plateau.
227
You need to move through the frustration.
228
Honestly, I don't want you guys to walk away from this video thinking that you can't be curious now.
229
Like, if you decided to commit to something, you have to commit.
230
You're not allowed to quit ever.
231
That is not what I'm trying to communicate.
232
Being interested in so many different things is such a beautiful quality.
233
Being curious, running experiments is an amazing thing to do.
234
Some of the most interesting people I know are curious about everything.
235
Curiosity isn't the problem.
236
The problem is never staying long enough for anything to give something back to you.
237
Curiosity is something that opens the door and commitment is something that lets you walk through it.
238
And you don't have to pick one thing for the rest of your life and be like,
239
okay i have to commit you know like i'm getting so distracted by social media by my phone
240
i cannot be distracted i need to commit and
241
that is it that's actually also a type of fear you know
242
when you just commit to one thing
243
and you are afraid of being curious you are afraid of trying new things we think
244
that if we commit it means we're closing the doors on all the other opportunities
245
But in reality, it just means that you're going deep enough on something that this something starts giving you something back.
246
Curiosity without commitment keeps you a beginner forever.
247
And curiosity with commitment is how you build a truly rich, satisfying life.
248
So finally, let's talk about the practical side to all of this.
249
How do you commit without killing curiosity?
250
The first thing you can do is ask yourself a very important question.
251
When that itch to start something new shows up, pause and ask yourself, Am I truly genuinely drawn to this new thing
252
or am I just running away from the frustration of the old thing?
253
You don't have to answer it perfectly.
254
Just asking yourself this question already breaks the autopilot, already helps you, you know, direct your focus to the things that truly matter.
255
The second thing I want you to do is when you do experience frustration,
256
the uncomfortable emotions, try to approach them as something you feel in your body,
257
not something that you have to rationalize through.
258
This is something that is very close to my heart as someone who practices yoga consistently.
259
Frustration isn't just a thought, it's restfulness.
260
It's like something you experience in your body.
261
It's tight shoulders or clenched jaw, that urge to get up and literally do anything else.
262
And when you notice it, don't immediately run away from it.
263
Don't substitute it.
264
Don't cover it with doom scrolling, with distraction, with, you know, cheap dopamine.
265
Being able to stay with discomfort and actually regulate your body in the moment, you know, focus on your nervous system regulation,
266
maybe do some breathing exercises.
267
All of that is a skill and you can certainly train it.
268
The third step you can do is keep a curiosity list.
269
Every time you get excited about something new, just write it down.
270
Instead of immediately buying like a bunch of supplies, spending a lot of money, signing up for courses.
271
Just write it down and let it be.
272
You're not saying yes or no immediately, right?
273
You're just saying maybe, maybe yes, maybe no. But like what I'm saying right now is not yet.
274
This list is something very similar to like a shopping list, you know, when you want to buy new clothes or new makeup.
275
Just put it on your wish list
276
and wait a little bit for a week or two and if you still truly want to try it,
277
like if you still want to buy this product, then of course go for it.
278
The same thing with all of the little things you're curious about trying.
279
And thing number four that can really help you here is commit in seasons, not forever.
280
You know, don't tell yourself I'm going to from now on be learning Italian forever.
281
Maybe just tell yourself like I'm going to give myself a month to experience what it's like to learn Italian
282
and then I'll see if I want to keep it as my habit,
283
if I want to change it or if I want to stop doing it completely.
284
So guys, I think it's going to be it for today's video.
285
If you liked it, please don't forget to give it a thumbs up and subscribe to my channel.
286
I really hope now you know why you feel curious about everything but really struggle to commit.
287
Like why you want to try new things all the time
288
but once you hit the plateau you experience a lot of frustration and you quit.
289
And also I really hope now you understand what to do about all of this.
290
Frustration and uncomfortable emotions, all of those things are not something to fear.
291
Plateaus are most of our life, you know, when it comes to building a specific routine, working on a new project.
292
Yes, maybe at the beginning it feels super exciting, but most of the time you're in the plateau and that is absolutely okay.
293
Today we kind of touched upon the topic of consistency, what it means to be consistent.
294
So if you want to go deeper on this topic,
295
if you consider yourself an ambitious person and if you want to understand how to be truly consistent,
296
I highly recommend watching this video next.
297
Otherwise, thank you guys so much for watching this video, and I'll see you in my next one.
298
Ciao!

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
