Lesson Overview

11.23 – How Your Brain Reacts to Constant Notifications: Every notification floods your brain with small bursts of dopamine, creating micro-rewards that hook attention. Overexposure exhausts focus, increasing irritability and mental fatigue. Your nervous system wasn’t designed for nonstop alerts, so stress hormones linger longer than needed. Turn off non-essential notifications and notice the calm that follows within days. The quiet allows your brain to rebuild sustained attention and emotional regulation. Schedule specific times to check messages instead of reacting instantly. This trains your mind toward intention rather than impulse. Over time, the craving to check fades as peace replaces urgency. Reclaiming your attention is like regaining oxygen after noise—you remember how natural calm feels again.
