You’re Not Lazy - Your Brain Was Hijacked

In this episode, Abraham exposes the hidden pattern reshaping modern behaviour how sugar, ultra-processed food, gaming, pornography, and short-form content silently rewire the brain's dopamine pathways and lock us into cycles of craving, distraction, and self-blame.

This isn't an attack on ADHD, and it's not another discipline sermon. It's an exposure of the environments we're embedded in systems engineered to extract attention, fragment focus, and keep people chasing rewards that never land.

Drawing from lived experience and pattern recognition, Abraham connects the dots most people refuse to see: why motivation evaporates, why intensity replaces consistency, why we gaslight ourselves into believing we're "not doing enough," and why attention disorders are proliferating in a world designed to exploit them.

This episode is about reclaiming agency. About metacognition, self-awareness, and architecting a life that actually serves your nervous system not one that fights it.

The Matrix wasn't built for you to win. So this episode is about building something that is.

We’ve been treating ADHD like a character flaw instead of what it really is: a system that needs design.

In this episode, Abraham Spring breaks down why ADHD isn’t a focus problem, why willpower keeps failing, and why habits like caffeine dependence, tracking obsession, and social media addiction aren’t random flaws but survival strategies for a dopamine-starved nervous system.

You’ll learn how ADHD actually works: executive dysfunction, time blindness, emotional intensity, hyperfocus, and rejection sensitivity and how the modern world exploits these traits through apps, metrics, and constant stimulation.

This isn’t about fixing ADHD or becoming “neurotypical.”
It’s about building external systems that work: movement instead of stillness, interest-based planning, micro-steps, and environmental design.

ADHD isn’t broken.
Your systems are.

This episode is about redesigning them.

You finish a solid workout, feel good, then open Instagram. Suddenly you're not good enough anymore.

Here's what's actually happening: social media is hijacking your survival mechanisms. Every scroll triggers fight-or-flight. Every follower count registers as lost territory. Every like comparison activates your threat response.

You've stopped seeing humans. You're seeing metrics.

In this episode, I expose the dark psychology:

• How platforms weaponise your threat detection system
• Why you've turned people into numbers instead of humans
• The hyper-competitive hellscape disconnecting you from your own experience
• How to break free with Context Check, Humanity Check, and Comparison Curfew

The question that changes everything: Am I more numbers-driven or feeling-driven?

If you can't celebrate your wins without comparing them to others, if other people's success feels like your loss, if you see metrics instead of humans—you've been caught by the matrix game.

Stop performing for algorithms. Start being human again.

The Biggest Mistake I've Made: Treating Caffeine Like Recovery Instead of Debt

Do you need caffeine just to feel normal? Can't train without pre-workout? Doing everything "right" for sleep but still waking up exhausted?

You're not broken. You're borrowing energy you can't afford to pay back.

In this episode, I expose the caffeine trap:

• Why your 4pm coffee is destroying your deep sleep (even if you fall asleep fine)
• How pre-workout culture creates the same addiction cycle as social media
• The half-life reality no one talks about (it can stay in your system for 9.5 hours)
• Why "I can sleep after coffee" isn't the flex you think it is

I'll share my breaking point – lying in bed with my heart racing, recovery tanking, wondering why I felt wired and exhausted at the same time.

And I'll give you the simple framework to take back control: Budget, Ceiling, and Curfew.

The question: Are you using caffeine to amplify your system... or replace it?

If you're tired of feeling tired, this changes everything.

Do you check your sleep score before you check how you actually feel?

If your fitness tracker dies mid-workout, does it feel like the session didn't count? Do you find yourself exercising just to close those rings, even when your body needs rest?

You've outsourced your self-awareness to a device. Those "wellness" apps use the same psychological tricks as social media – streaks that punish rest, scores that turn health into homework, kudos that make you perform for algorithms instead of listening to your body.

I know because I lived it. I got a Whoop to optimize performance but became obsessed with HRV and recovery scores. If the app said I was recovered, I'd feel good. If not, I'd drag all day. The data dictated how I felt.

In this episode, I expose the dark psychology behind health tracking and show you how to break free.

Your wellness isn't a spreadsheet. Trust yourself again.

If your goal is to complete a triathlon in 2026, preparation matters more than motivation.

In this episode, I break down what actually works when you step back from hype, pressure, and over-complication and focus on building a system you can repeat.

We cover:

• How recovery determines whether training adapts or accumulates fatigue
• Strength & conditioning for durability, not aesthetics
• How to structure running without creating injury cycles
• Using the bike to build aerobic depth without burnout
• Swimming as a skill, not a fight
• The mindset and meditation practices that support consistency under stress

This isn’t about doing more.
It’s about doing the right things, in the right order, for long-term performance.

If you want to train with clarity, stay healthy, and arrive prepared - this episode gives you the framework.

Most people don’t fail because they lack discipline they fail because their identity never changed. In this episode, Abraham Spring breaks down why New Year’s goals collapse and how the R.A.C.E. Protocol (Recover, Align, Condition, Execute) helps you build habits that actually stick.

Learn why “I want to run a marathon” fades, but “I’m a runner” lasts — and how becoming recovery-led at the identity level transforms your training, parenting, coaching, and performance.

If you want a different year, start with a different identity.
