You’re not lazy.
You’re not unmotivated.
You’re not broken.
Your attention is being farmed, and willpower was never going to win that fight.
In this clip, Jay Shetty breaks down why starting feels impossible and how to take your focus back from the apps built to keep you scrolling.
Jay shares why the hardest part of any task isn’t doing it but starting it, the ritual that gets him into meditation and a workout before his day begins, and why cutting out bad habits fails when you don’t replace them with anything.
Learn why the brain resists starting but not continuing, and the one question that shows you exactly what you reach for when you want to numb out.
