How Social Media Scrolling Affects Your Focus

This right here

is eating away at your brain.

You might already have the urge to scroll,

and that's how we both know that your mind is getting fucked by the

minute.

This is why you can't focus. Before

I started becoming aware of this,

there'd

be times where when there's nothing to do, I immediately

open Instagram. Then after a couple minutes, Snapchat.

After a couple minutes, TikTok, and then YouTube, and it just becomes a

cycle, and this cycle happens subconsciously

every time I get bored.

You ever had that moment where you were gonna do something,

and then you end up

getting distracted by another thought or something you saw over here,

and you immediately forget what you were gonna do,

and now you're just stuck there

like, "Wait, what was I gonna do again?" It's because of the

spontaneous behavior that you've trained your mind to adapt to.

You can't focus on one task because

the moment it doesn't become

satisfying or it doesn't feel good-- Feel good,

that's a key word.

You're putting your emotions into it as well.

You immediately look for another thing to satisfy you.

And the solution to this is to first be aware of it, and

if you're still

here, then obviously now you're aware of it.

Next step is you gotta be consciously

intentional with what you're doing on a

day-to-day basis, your habits. If you ever catch

yourself going on Instagram, ask yourself why.

Is there a purpose behind it?

Why am I on Instagram? No purpose?

Put that shit down. Find something better to do.

If you wanna break that cycle, you have the decision.

Now that you're aware of it, you

have the choice of whether or not...

Once you become aware,

do you stay in that loop and just say, "Fuck it,

because I have nothing else better to do," or do you make that change?
