YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

This is a clip from the Know Thyself Podcast by André Duqum and Dr. K. Full podcast can be heard here

Alok M. Kanojia, popularly known as Dr. K, is an American psychiatrist, co-founder of the mental health coaching platform Healthy Gamer, and a prominent Twitch streamer and YouTuber focusing on mental well-being—especially within gaming and creator communities. He holds an M.D. and M.P.H. from Tufts University and completed his psychiatry residency at Massachusetts General Hospital/McLean Hospital, affiliated with Harvard Medical School. Driven by his own history with video game addiction, Dr. K turned his lived experience into a mission: to provide accessible mental health support tailored to gamers and creators. This led to the creation of Healthy Gamer, which includes coaching, content, and educational programs.

Why is Everything Boring Now? Get Your Mind Out of the Gutter. This one Trick will Fix Your Attention Span. Use this trick to reclaim your attention - Trataka meditation is a yogic concentration practice where you focus your gaze steadily on a single point — often a candle flame — without blinking, to still the mind and sharpen attention.
