I want to share the science behind why it feels so exhausting—and how to get your energy back.If you’ve been feeling drained, overwhelmed, or weirdly low on motivation lately… you’re not imagining it. In this episode, I open up about my run-in with doomscrolling and explain — in simple, human language — what actually happens inside your brain when you're constantly exposed to negative news and online chaos.You’ll learn how stress chemicals, the amygdala, and your brain’s reward system team up (accidentally!) to sabotage your focus, energy, and momentum… and more importantly, how to gently take your power back.Here's the breakdown:• Why negativity bias makes your brain cling to bad news• How doomscrolling quietly drains your motivation and creativity• The neuroscience behind mental fatigue and decision burnout• Why your prefrontal cortex “shuts down” when stress is high• Simple, practical tweaks to lower cortisol and restore mental clarity• A mindset shift that helps you stay centered even when the world feels heavyIf you want to feel grounded, intentional, and mentally sharper — without pretending the world is perfect — this episode will give you clarity, comfort, and small doable steps to reset your mind.And if you want to experience coaching around your goals, you can book a free coaching session here.Tune in, take a breath, and let’s get you back to feeling centered again.You can also watch this on YouTube: https://youtu.be/OIdyCnC3dh8You can email me: Padenbhutia@padenbhutia.com
