When I’m feeling overwhelmed, stressed or depressed, I don’t want to deal with anything. I want to escape, and I do that by scrolling mindlessly on my phone.

When that happens, it exacerbates the original problem and introduces a few others—the hardest is being unable to focus when I really need to be able to focus.

In today’s world, surfing Instagram and Facebook makes it easy to spend hours consuming random, inconsequential content without really using your brain.

It can quickly become a bad habit that affects your concentration and how you learn and remember important information. 

When you are stuck on scrolling you are actually training your brain to receive a quick dopamine hit. Dopamine is a feel-good chemical associated with pleasure and reward… that is why it is easy to lose yourself for hours in social media land.

Here are 6 tips to help stop that mindless scrolling so you can get your focus back.

1. Recognize that you have a problem and admit it. Brainstorm with family or friends about ways to make positive changes, then implement them.

2. Turn off your notifications—they are an unnecessary distraction designed to keep you hooked.

3. Remove aps from your phone that are contributing to your scrolling habits.

4. Set self-improvement goals consisting of fun and positive ways you can wisely use your time in place of scrolling.

5. Be open to new learning experiences and find your purpose. This will contribute to your ability to place your focus on things that matter.

6. Use Doses of Enlightenment to assist with overcoming the addiction and to enhance your focus. This one is powerful. 

Here is a good article that includes tips to help you better understand why you scroll and how to break that bad habit.

Since we promised to treat you to an extra dose of light in your inbox, we include a Dose of Enlightenment for you at the end of each newsletter. We value your agency, so it’s up to you whether or not you receive it!

This Dose of Enlightenment is a frequency equation meant to clear a hidden and trapped emotion that you’ve been holding onto. 

If today's emotion is one that we have already cleared, know that we are addressing a different layer or situation this time.

*******************************************************

Today’s emotion is: unable to focus 

How does this emotion apply to you? For best results, ponder this question and identify how unable to focus applies to you.

Dose of Enlightenment: 75 + 925 = E

Say it out loud with intent: "seventy-five plus nine-twenty-five equals enlightenment.”

Breathe. Let it go. Feel the shift. Allow your body to be filled with light.
