this is the only video you need to stop scrolling unless you live under a rock you already know how this simple action is terrible for you you kill your attention span literally shrinking your brain and you're also killing yourself slowly no I'm not even being dramatic you are getting closer to death with every second that passes you basically are a wizard you're a wizard Harry or have technology better than Elon musk's because you're time traveling into the future every time you doom scroll props to this viewer for their vulnerability in sharing this wakeup call so
you don't learn the hard way you know how you know it's really bad when you don't even have to say my mom was right about that darn phone because even you know that the problem is that darn phone and today we solve that problem ay team it's Amy I can honestly say that whenever I do have the misfortune of landing on a short form page I never scroll for more than 30 seconds because I literally can't bring myself to that's because of my mental framework that I go through subconsciously keep watching to find out how
you can use this mental framework to stop scrolling whenever want the cool thing is the more you do it the more you will rewire your brain and it will become second nature think about your best friend you value honesty right so how would you feel if they lied to you what if they made a promise to you and they didn't keep it and they didn't keep it Time After Time well that wouldn't be a great foundation for a relationship right you might feel like you can't do anything with this person you might not even be
friends with them anymore so to start ask yourself how much do you value trust and how do you build trust remember this it will come in handy for later you'll see now let's go into the three chains of thought that will stop you from scrolling Numero Uno the next video you scroll onto with a person on it look at that person what do you know about them absolutely nothing they're a complete stranger now imagine yourself on the street if you've been in the city a place like New York you might have had people ask for
money every time someone asks for your money or your attention do you willingly empty out your pockets for them do you eagerly offer cash to them listen unless you're rich no you cannot give tons of money to everyone you see on the street you can't pour from an empty cup but guess what on the internet you're giving your money to hundreds of strangers without them even asking no really so every time you're scrolling link this visualization that you're on the streets right now and you're offering money to every single stranger that walks by no matter
who they are that's like people you watch on the internet you have absolutely no connection to them all they did was post the video all they did was exist on the internet and you're like hey you know what I think you're worth my time not only do they get add dollars but you are giving them your precious Focus attention energy and time which also translates to money that you could have earned yourself you are so generous how are you literally the most generous person in in the world because you keep taking money from your own
pockets and putting it in someone else's after you go through that Chain of Thought say explicitly in your mind or out loud to yourself I Promise You Matter more to me than strangers numero dose imagine your 5-year-old self oh cute little you with the chubby cheeks and the playful energy you probably had so many dreams and aspirations maybe you wanted to become an astronaut maybe you love doodling and playing outside and you have a Natural Curiosity about the world that cute little kid has their whole life in front of them isn't that amazing and beautiful
not knowing what life they could have thinking about the possibilities of what a little kid can turn into that's why kids are so precious your 5-year-old self represents potential time travel in your mind as if you could speak to your 5-year-old self right now and tell them tell your younger self I promise to give you the life you deserve number three as you're scrolling think about the number of seconds that pass before you scroll so maybe you watch 5 Seconds of Tik Tok and you scroll maybe it's 10 seconds maybe you watch a whole whopping
30 seconds before your thumb Scrolls feel how you have something in front of you and you are swiping it away Time After Time well those 5 Seconds 10 seconds 30 seconds represent your life literally feel yourself scrolling your life oh away you have to form that strong connection between that video You're scrolling away and the time in your life it's like you literally had those 5 10 30 seconds in front of you and you decided nah I don't like it nah I don't care if I don't remember anything that just happened and when that magically
ends up to be 2 to 6 hours of your screen time per day wow you just really don't like time don't you you just keep scrolling it away like it means nothing we have to stop being numb to the fact that four 5 hours of screen time per day translates to losing years of your life you could have gotten two college degrees with that time so really link Doom scrolling to physically swiping your time away such that it's now lost in the abyss of the algorithm along with the black hole of time that was poetic
I'm a poet that's why it's called mindless scrolling you don't even know what you're doing to yourself so say to yourself I promise that your time is valuable and I will not just scroll It Away Great woohoo now each time you start scrolling walk through one of those three mindsets take yourself through the whole story and state the promise to yourself out loud or explicitly in your mind if you don't want to be weird in public remember the best friend thing from earlier well you are your best friend in the entire world if no one
puts you first you are the one that puts you first you are the only person in this world you can control and that you can 150% rely on if you complain about friendships or you're upset that this person let you down again then ask yourself am I letting myself down am I really setting a better example than that friend so after each promise you make to yourself follow through on that promise don't make it just empty words don't lie to yourself honor your promise like you are your best friend that's how you build trust if
you can't control yourself to make a promise to yourself then we got bigger problems in your phone many videos out there about cutting social media addiction talk about actions to do but come on getting off your phone is an action in and of itself and if you could do that then you wouldn't be here having this problem that's why we want to focus on the second part of the equation of ying yang the neglected part which is the mindset and that's what this video has helped you with today imagine your life as an hourglass each
piece of sand is to be valued by spending it on things that are good for you by consuming things that give you value you will greater value the things that benefit your life in turn cutting your social media addiction it's a positive Perpetual cycle that I've leveraged and that you can too please I am pleading you I see the potential within you so please see it yourself value your life it's the only one you've got you might as well have the attention span to live it to the fullest otherwise it's going to pass by just
like that Tik Tok you just scrolled by
