Welcome back to the Boss Vay Podcast. Okay, I'm coming to you, Cup of Tea in hand, cozied up, I am in the English countryside and it is bliss. My nervous system is really thanking me right now.

And I wanted to come on here and talk about something. So I posted a quote a couple of weeks ago and this quote has went so crazy viral it's blowing my mind.

A lot of people say you need to be doing reels these days to go viral. Well, clearly that's not true. So I posted this and it has already just in a couple of weeks reached 7 million people and counting, right? It is spreading like crazy. Now it's a quote by someone

But it wasn't just a case of making a decision and slowing down. That's not how it went. My nervous system, my cortisol, everything in me was

built to be speeding up, to be going, going.

And I'm still actually on this journey of retraining myself,

of not constantly seeking the next dopamine hit,

not constantly picking up my phone, not going on to the next dopamine hit not constantly picking up my phone not going on to the next
