From July 11 to 31, you will have the opportunity to spend days dedicated 100% to God. But have you ever asked why you should take part? The answer may be simpler than you think. Notice how much human beings are rushing. Recently, the world was surprised by news that scientists said the Earth is spinning faster. Did you see it? The experts said it completed a rotation in less than 24 hours. According to researchers, the Earth completed a full turn 1,59 milliseconds faster. ![nasa-Q1p7bh3SHj8-unsplash.jpg](https://blog.univervideo.com/imagens/strapi-2fab9227536544fe.jpg) But besides the Earth spinning faster and the day consequently lasting slightly less, people feel unable to keep up and that 24 hours are no longer enough. There are so many tasks, people to answer, books to read, and videos to watch that people can no longer find time for anything. Unfortunately, many have become accustomed to dopamine as an escape and reward through social media. Dopamine, in case you do not remember, is a neurotransmitter related to well-being and reward. In other words, people see the internet and all its distractions as a reward. ‘I worked all day. I have the right to sit here and browse.’ Before they realize it, 2 hours have passed. ### **The Jejum de Daniel** What does all this have to do with the Jejum de Daniel? EVERYTHING. The Jejum de Daniel is an excellent time for anyone wanting to detox from everything. A great time for those who realize they have had plenty of dopamine in their bodies but lack what matters most: the Holy Spirit. For 21 days, you step away from all secular information, entertainment, the internet, and everything diverting attention from what matters most. Click here to better understand the Jejum de Daniel. ### **Jejum de Daniel: Be careful with entertainment** As I said, this is when you distance yourself from distractions, right? But often, even during the Jejum de Daniel, people become distracted. They do so with the excuse, ‘But I am watching things related to the Jejum de Daniel.’ You need to know that even during this period, you must remain attentive. ![Watching Reis announcement](https://blog.univervideo.com/imagens/strapi-e945306c9746f6d9.jpg) Univer Vídeo is an ally, but you cannot use it to fill gaps. Let me explain. Some people watch Univer Vídeo during the Jejum de Daniel without engaging with the content as they should. For example, they watch Meditação da Palavra but are not 100% connected to it. They do not reflect on what is said or apply it to their lives. They simply let it play. This does not please God. The Jejum de Daniel is not about replacing secular entertainment with Univer Vídeo ‘entertainment’. The aim is to use Univer Vídeo not to cover an ‘empty gap in your day’, but truly to draw closer to God during the Jejum de Daniel. Therefore, if you want to take part, keep in mind that this one will be different. Commit to truly drawing closer to God, not merely ‘fulfilling an obligation’. ### **The Jejum de Daniel with Univer Vídeo** As we said, this is a time to step away from social media and all entertainment. But stepping away is not enough. You need to draw closer to what will truly make a difference. ![Jejum de Daniel](https://blog.univervideo.com/imagens/strapi-c182cd0165581da3.jpg) For that, Univer Vídeo is what you need. Not to pass time and fill a gap otherwise filled by entertainment unrelated to faith, but to help you draw closer to God.
