Trying to start cutting down on my social media addiction, I’ve deactivated my tiktok and removed most of my instagram followers so I can have less interactions on there
yo cool video man. I recently saw a video similar to the topics discussed here. I thought it could spike your interest. The name of the channel is Life As A Monk. It's the latest video.
@@Mainhoonna-ip4pz how is that a doubt, it is up to u to engage in all of em or only one, its facts which is why people will touch on this topic numerously and not to mention it can eventually save years, not literally speaking
for me its not scrolling but being at the pc. I hate games for years now but at 34 just because what i did all my life doesnt make fun anymore doesnt mean another thing pops up.. so i spend years at the pc without even knowing what to do else like wtf i dont find a way out. And ppl kep reasuring me that i dont wanna süent time with them, not like i had an option too tbh
Man let me tell you, I used to be a sheep until I woke up and realized how grimey the world is, I always said “everything that’s good for you is free!” Running, reading a book, going to a park and playing sports, cleaning your house etc…some people say they be bored but in reality they just don’t wanna do what they have to do
@@22lanisha I mean it says in the Bible he dislikes lazy people…and some people are active on the wrong things…people be active on pleasures and money etc… when in reality it’s better to be rich in spirit and health

That’s not even scratching the surface which is the crazy part, and many people have yet to even realize that. Our purpose of existence is to glorify God, and we can only speak life, or death, so choose life.
@@RobVanDelay_WholeFnContestinteresting. What’s your opinion on this? Why do the Mexicans get to lend theirs and we gotta pay for ours? It’s not taxes it’s attention.
@@stevenhargett 😂😂. Honestly i dunno. Im not really convinced with those theories that equate Jesus and the sun because"Son of god" . Those word plays apply only in English and as far as i know that wasnt spoken in the Mediterranean 2000 years ago. Each language has its own etymological structure but it is funny how those "coincidences" come about in english like "spelling/spells" "morning/mourning" and all of that
I just realized how distracted I've become recently. I didn't even realize it until now. I've been mindlessly consuming contents that are not even beneficial for me. That's why I felt drained and low on energy even though I haven't done any physical work to feel tired.
l deleted tiktok and instagram today. lt's relaxing but l don't know what to do with myself anymore (edit: it's not that bad. l'm doing chores, watching long videos and feeling myself. l think l'm gonna apply gym and go to english course. In my country, the university year starts on September 15. That means l'll spend my time on reading books and doing homework.)
I've been drained many years by my "friends". I always wanted to leave that group of friends because most of the time I hated how i felt when i was around them. I felt that they drained my energy with their egocentric ways, jelousy and sometimes just being hateful for no apparent reason. It's been around 3 years since i stopped seeing them alltogether and those 3 years were amongst the best of my life. For the longest time i felt obligated to them, they controlled the way i think of myself, i was extremely insecure - but not anymore. I was suicidal after i "left" them because i thought without friends I am nobody. But i overcame it and grew stronger and more self loving. It's extremely important what you devote your energy to because energy is everything in life. Amazing video.
@@shatakshipandey8014 Good luck to you aswell. You know what's funny? They are wanting to come back to me as we speak. They have changed alot and even realized the way they acted wasn't good. Sometimes a simple break without drama and letting some time go by will fix things for you.
My life has just slowed down recently and instead of appreciating the break, I’ve been freaking out about not having to freak out the way I have been for the last 3 years. I’ve had this perspective shift very recently but when this truth revealed itself, I felt free. Thanks for resonating ✨
This is a great message. Reminds me of one if my life’s values/mottos: “Life isn’t about convenience.” Be confident/comfortable with doing things that are uncomfortable. Connect with yourself and other people, social media is raising a generation of jaded, jaded individuals. This is a goldmine video.
I agree with you! Most of our generation is addicted to social media. I have noticed the majority of my colleagues will go home and mindlessly scroll for hours!
There’s so much emptiness and pain within me that I always resort to mindless scrolling. If I am not doing anything, people around me think I’m depressed sitting around idle. Such a struggle!
He hit the nail on the head when he started speaking about avoidance from childhood. I notice this every day within me.I live empty days without purpose, only depending on others to make me happy. I don’t do anything I love.Im only 18 but I feel so worn down, and anxious of becoming older. Thankyou for this video.
I’m only 26, but damn I wish I could go back to 18 and make better choices, heal.. start doin it now! Easier said than done, but 18 is such a fresh pallet, time flies and I promise you that. 18 is where you start figuring things out, you begin to figure yourself out as you mature and grow up. Make smart choices for your future
TH-cam Algorithm brought me here and I'm very lucky and thankful to see this kind of video and its enlightening for me as student on how to control the world of today that full of stimulation that always grab and catch the attention of the youth of this generation. well explained this literally save us "If you give me your attention I’ll save you years of wrong turns"
I tried to explain this to my parents a long time ago and they said I was crazy for thinking this way. All the external noise, that’s constantly distracting us from what’s really going on. The ridiculous stimulation that hurts mental health and exploits us.
Reminder that this guy has an extremely ludicrously priced "life coaching" program, he wants your attention because he also has something to gain while he huffs his own farts convincing himself hes doing his own sort of "good" compared to other advertisers.
@@Eyezee- In my opinion you should ignore all this spiritual guru shit, just live your best life whether thats consuming entertainment, going to work, coming home, going for a walk, going to sleep, whatever. You don't need to pay this guy 1.5k over a few weeks to gain spiritual enlightenment thorugh meditation. Even if you do want to do the things this guy mentions in the video you don't need to shell out months of saving wages to him for some youtube tips, just go to a therapist instead.
@@scewtI think the point is that people waste their lives through this mindless consumption. Many will be on their death beds thinking where did my time go. I'm certainly prone to wasting time due to this mindless consumption.
I quit social media on Dec,2023 because I felt it magnified every small emotion i felt and tend to wear me down. Now I am so much happy and connected with my life. Also social media ruins your privacy. I am a software engineer.
I’m realizing now that cutting off a majority of mindless content input from social media or instant gratification like video games or what have you, and replacing it with hobbies that stimulate creativity and problem-solving skills, is an incredibly useful step to making your life more productive. I think I will focus more on pursuing my future career and compliment it with creative hobbies as a pass time. Treat life like a game and invest into your character. Progressing and finishing on original work of yours feels amazing and is the best substitute to investing hours into things that don’t do much for your life or require much brain power. Not to say you can’t, but drowning out all that noise in life through such activities is likely better.
This made me realize that I fell back into my old bad habits. I already knew that wasting time in this way was not healthy or good for achieving my goals. I will work on eliminating my bad habits and start adopting good ones again, thanks 🙌
you know this video actually just totally described how i’ve been feeling recently and helped me fully understanding my feelings. Really thankful that you made this video, it’s really eye opening
you help me to stop scrolling through social media and using uneccessary apps then i learn to get out on my comfort zone and walk outside with my dog and riding a bicycle gives me excercise and good mind functioning and heart i will go to church in sunday is the best thing i ever made
Thank you for this. I sabotaged my happiest relationship from constantly entertaining other women and wasting my energy on these draining means to end. I want to grow and become a better person from this experience and I firmly believe there is such things as coincidences
thank you so much It's so amazing to see people who are on the right path your a fine example of how we should live. your correct this world is sick but theirs always balance, glad for your time
For me it's TH-cam, i am totally aware of how much time i lose to it but it still keeps me hooked. I have definitely thought about meditating, this video gives me the push i need to hopefully clear my mind of the mental clutter
One thing that helped me was installing extensions that don't show you more videos beyond the topic you are searching for. Like blocking videos that appear on the home screen, recommended videos within a video, blocking shorts, etc. I also don't have the TH-cam app on my phone, I access it through the browser that has the extension installed. TH-cam can be a blessing in our lives, but also a curse, we just have to know how to use it.
@@RetroPlus I have a similar one, maybe its the same. Its called UnDistracted. It is really very useful. You can block websites, and parts of websites like the recommended videos, next videos, and even comments. On instagram i use it to block feed, explore and reels, so i can use it just for the mensager without get distracted by millions of content
"This video has truly opened my eyes to new possibilities. The way you explain these concepts makes them feel so accessible and achievable. Thank you for inspiring me to better myself every day!"
I think that people are giving their attention to people that don’t deserve it at the moment they’re just wasting peoples time, but there are some really great people out there who are getting attention. Thank you for your video. I really appreciate it.
I think it’s definitely complicated, everything in this video is valid and true. I think it’s just hard to delete distractions like social media when they are used to connect with others between long commutes and lack of money to meet friends or loved ones who may be far away, lack of third spaces. The internet is essentially free and requires little effort to interact with others. These things can be used in moderation and I think it is on us to understand the fine line we must walk to not depend on this as gen z is the first generation to really grow up with the advent of these online social spaces but also know when to put it away and value our own company as we try to become more well rounded individuals. This video is so valuable, thank you.
Solid advice. I switched to a flip phone about 2 years ago so when I’m out, I don’t have the temptations of a smartphone distracting me. I prefer to read my book if I’m in a situation where I’m sittin and waitin on something rather than doomscrolling. I do still have my iPhone but it only works on wifi so I can use social media and whatnot while I’m on wifi but I try to use it for positive things. Like listening to these videos or other educational content while I clean
I absolutely love the nature around you man. Good point about the meditation, I meditate 30mins a day twice, in the morning and evening. Recently I’ve been slacking up on my practice thinking that it may be a waste of time, until I began to realise how badly it was affecting my life and reducing my ability to control myself against things that are bad for me- and you made me realise to some extent that the time I thought would be wasted by meditating is probably the most valuable chunk of time I have every day.
I pressed the like button at the beginning of the video and kept trying to like again whenever he says something so accurate, wish i can give more than one like man ❤
Wow, this put things into a new perspective whenever something or someone negative pulls by I realize they are so draining. Or whenever I eat junk I feel so bloated and disgusting .wow
Someone recently used the word "harvest" and it hits like a brick. Our consciousness is essentially being harvested by the selfish energies you speak of just for a couple cents a month. We're being coerced into spending our one and only life as little cogs in a wheel for billionaires to have some more digits on their screen and seats on their yacht. Try going a couple of days without even touching your phone and you will likely feel a roller coaster of emotions. Thats how I felt at least. Great video, extremely well spoken Lucas : )
I started working night shifts in the hospital and when I am assisting for patients who are sleeping for hours I am not allowed to have my phone and it is true bootcamp. Most nights I find any junk food laying around to give me dopamine, foods I wouldn’t ever normally eat, and some nights I go nuts bc the hospital tv is never playing due to connection 😭. though I found it to be great practice for sitting in a dark room alone with just ur thoughts and getting intimate with yourself like Blaise pascal says. But The 3 twelve hours in a row take a toll on my body and I don’t have an ideal schedule/time management anymore. Hopefully I don’t lose this progress. This video came perfect timing
I had to force myself to sit in silence, through a lot of repetition and facing my thoughts. I would then take the thoughts and write them down, and self reflect. I also had to do several 12 step programs to free me from my past, and surround myself around spritual happy people to show me a new way of life. All the information is on the internet that a person needs to take Action and make change happen. Recovery is a Choice. Is all about creating new healthy habits and maintaining a routine, and surrounding yourself around people who help you grow!, NOT make you feel like crap about yourself!! I can now sit in silence and truly be in the present moment. 🧘🏻😜🤟🏼
This is how part of me feels, but then another part of me is sort of dependent on the conditions I'm in. Bad structure feels somehow safer than no structure. I don't want to leap into the unknown to be safe - I just want to be safe no matter what. I don't want to let go of what I have and then fall into nothing. You're lucky.🍀
Please let me know how you surrounded yourself with spiritual happy people, because I literally have 0 friends and cannot make any. The only few people who have talked to me have had bad vibes like they're doing drugs and bad lifestyle trying to drag me into it. Like I'm not even talking finding a girlfriend I'm over that, literally just want a few cool guy friends
You put in the work to organize this information for myself and others and you did it so well. You making this filled my cup, I really appreciate you speaking clearly, concisely, and with confidence. It makes me feel more confident and knowledgeable about these already somewhat held beliefs, you don't make it feel like im picking a side either but more of: "here's a cause and effect" and "here's how to give your brain the stage for optimal growth". So thanks man, definitely going to start being out of stimulus as part of my routine.
This video was sent to me by the universe!! I was just thinking about how scrolling is affecting me in a very bad way, my mind is blurry, i have headaches, can’t focus and i just can’t stop even if im so aware of how its affecting me, truly addictive 😔 i needed this video, thank you for speaking about this, life after covid is becoming more and more virtual and we are getting disconnected from ourselves and others
Im gonna drop a couple of "spam comments" just to get this video recommended to more people ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS VIDEO We really need to wake up and stay up at all cost. The awakening
That’s so funny, I saw this video in my recommendations probably 3 times and every time I thought “eh, 11 minutes of some guy talking, it’s too long(crazy..)”. And now that I finally watched it those 11 minutes went so quickly, I even wanted to hear more lol. Thank you for a wake up call, it truly saves years in advance
Great video, great piece information! had actual realization on how much time and energy of our lives is just snatched away by bits and pieces of stimulating information!
Focus/concentration is your strength. When coffee is concentrated, we say it is strong... Stop reacting to a reality you don’t want to keep attracting 🌹
This guy just put into words what I’ve realized for so long but I was falling victim to these attention and awareness draining vices, because they truly understand your brain functions more than you think and it’s all apart of their game to take your attention for personal gain👏
It’s crazy how 99% of this is common sense. Unfortunately the world is built on not being mindful so most people are set up to fail systematically. Even people who are considered conventionally “successful” I would guess more than 80% of them still aren’t mentally there.
I still think most creators across all platforms are just taking advantage of people who can’t think for themselves partially why I never comment or even watch videos like these anymore. (not saying you are one of these but you know what I’m talking about)

For me it's TH-cam, i am totally aware of how much time i lose to it but it still keeps me hooked. I have definitely thought about meditating, this video gives me the push i need to hopefully clear my mind of the mental clutter
Same. TH-cam is like an all day on off thing for me and my focus becomes so scattered
One thing that helped me was installing extensions that don't show you more videos beyond the topic you are searching for. Like blocking videos that appear on the home screen, recommended videos within a video, blocking shorts, etc. I also don't have the TH-cam app on my phone, I access it through the browser that has the extension installed. TH-cam can be a blessing in our lives, but also a curse, we just have to know how to use it.
@@Jess-qr4jn What are the names of these extensions? That seems perfect
@@RetroPlus I have a similar one, maybe its the same. Its called UnDistracted. It is really very useful. You can block websites, and parts of websites like the recommended videos, next videos, and even comments. On instagram i use it to block feed, explore and reels, so i can use it just for the mensager without get distracted by millions of content
this has to be the most informative information I've ever heard. great job

"This video has truly opened my eyes to new possibilities. The way you explain these concepts makes them feel so accessible and achievable. Thank you for inspiring me to better myself every day!"
I think that people are giving their attention to people that don’t deserve it at the moment they’re just wasting peoples time, but there are some really great people out there who are getting attention. Thank you for your video. I really appreciate it.
❤
I think it’s definitely complicated, everything in this video is valid and true. I think it’s just hard to delete distractions like social media when they are used to connect with others between long commutes and lack of money to meet friends or loved ones who may be far away, lack of third spaces. The internet is essentially free and requires little effort to interact with others. These things can be used in moderation and I think it is on us to understand the fine line we must walk to not depend on this as gen z is the first generation to really grow up with the advent of these online social spaces but also know when to put it away and value our own company as we try to become more well rounded individuals. This video is so valuable, thank you.
I’m gonna watch this every day
Solid advice. I switched to a flip phone about 2 years ago so when I’m out, I don’t have the temptations of a smartphone distracting me. I prefer to read my book if I’m in a situation where I’m sittin and waitin on something rather than doomscrolling. I do still have my iPhone but it only works on wifi so I can use social media and whatnot while I’m on wifi but I try to use it for positive things. Like listening to these videos or other educational content while I clean
Thanks for sharing :)
I absolutely love the nature around you man. Good point about the meditation, I meditate 30mins a day twice, in the morning and evening. Recently I’ve been slacking up on my practice thinking that it may be a waste of time, until I began to realise how badly it was affecting my life and reducing my ability to control myself against things that are bad for me- and you made me realise to some extent that the time I thought would be wasted by meditating is probably the most valuable chunk of time I have every day.
I hope videos with this meaningful yet simple nature make a comeback. It feels like it is what TH-cam was made for.
I pressed the like button at the beginning of the video and kept trying to like again whenever he says something so accurate, wish i can give more than one like man ❤
❤
Wow, this put things into a new perspective whenever something or someone negative pulls by I realize they are so draining. Or whenever I eat junk I feel so bloated and disgusting .wow
i’ve been of social media for a little over a year now, best decision ever
Thankyou sincerely from the top and bottom of my heart.
Thanks for the love
Thank you Lucas. God bless
It's refreshing to see this level of maturity and calmness in a coach 🙏🏻

Thanks for the love :)
I'm so damaged that I'm watching this video for the 4th time in a row. It feels like it's made especially for me
You got this
I got this as a download this morning and now this is confirmation.
Someone recently used the word "harvest" and it hits like a brick. Our consciousness is essentially being harvested by the selfish energies you speak of just for a couple cents a month. We're being coerced into spending our one and only life as little cogs in a wheel for billionaires to have some more digits on their screen and seats on their yacht. Try going a couple of days without even touching your phone and you will likely feel a roller coaster of emotions. Thats how I felt at least. Great video, extremely well spoken Lucas : )
Exactly.
Thank you bro. I'll be watching this many more times to internalize.
Algo suggested this twice and thank god I paid attention
:)
Omg same
Amazing advice. You're really smart and well spoken.
I started working night shifts in the hospital and when I am assisting for patients who are sleeping for hours I am not allowed to have my phone and it is true bootcamp. Most nights I find any junk food laying around to give me dopamine, foods I wouldn’t ever normally eat, and some nights I go nuts bc the hospital tv is never playing due to connection 😭. though I found it to be great practice for sitting in a dark room alone with just ur thoughts and getting intimate with yourself like Blaise pascal says. But The 3 twelve hours in a row take a toll on my body and I don’t have an ideal schedule/time management anymore. Hopefully I don’t lose this progress. This video came perfect timing
Your attention span is the most valuable thing in your life, as someone with adhd im painfully aware
You are very wise.
This literally blew my mind
Thank you so much for the love.
❤
Awareness of ones self is absolutely essential for mental, spiritual and physical health. Thank you for the message! I appreciate it. 😊
I was making a conclusion of this just this week and boom here's the video. Golden words! Great video!
Even if it's not the best option, everytime I'll want to scroll I'll come back to this video
Thank you for your insights
Of course they don’t push this out to more people. If all of society truly watched this video and paid ATTENTION, a lot of problems would be fixed.
and a lot of the problem causers would be in shambles
I had to force myself to sit in silence, through a lot of repetition and facing my thoughts. I would then take the thoughts and write them down, and self reflect. I also had to do several 12 step programs to free me from my past, and surround myself around spritual happy people to show me a new way of life. All the information is on the internet that a person needs to take Action and make change happen.
Recovery is a Choice.
Is all about creating new healthy habits and maintaining a routine, and surrounding yourself around people who help you grow!, NOT make you feel like crap about yourself!!
I can now sit in silence and truly be in the present moment.
🧘🏻😜🤟🏼
Fantastic share
What is 12 state programme ? Please help . I
This is how part of me feels, but then another part of me is sort of dependent on the conditions I'm in.
Bad structure feels somehow safer than no structure. I don't want to leap into the unknown to be safe - I just want to be safe no matter what.
I don't want to let go of what I have and then fall into nothing.
You're lucky.🍀
Please let me know how you surrounded yourself with spiritual happy people, because I literally have 0 friends and cannot make any. The only few people who have talked to me have had bad vibes like they're doing drugs and bad lifestyle trying to drag me into it. Like I'm not even talking finding a girlfriend I'm over that, literally just want a few cool guy friends
the 12 step program is not the right way to stop drinking. It's the harder way.
You put in the work to organize this information for myself and others and you did it so well. You making this filled my cup, I really appreciate you speaking clearly, concisely, and with confidence. It makes me feel more confident and knowledgeable about these already somewhat held beliefs, you don't make it feel like im picking a side either but more of: "here's a cause and effect" and "here's how to give your brain the stage for optimal growth". So thanks man, definitely going to start being out of stimulus as part of my routine.
You actually just shifted my whole perspective on reality 🌞
Thank you sir, great way to start my morning
This video was sent to me by the universe!! I was just thinking about how scrolling is affecting me in a very bad way, my mind is blurry, i have headaches, can’t focus and i just can’t stop even if im so aware of how its affecting me, truly addictive 😔 i needed this video, thank you for speaking about this, life after covid is becoming more and more virtual and we are getting disconnected from ourselves and others
❤
I loved every word out of your mouth Mr. Segeren.
❤
Thankyou so much man …You opened a brand new perspective in my mind ❤
❤
Excellent message!
Algorithm saved me! Thank you powers of the universe!
Anyone who has the capacity to speak about high-quality people is - in themselves - a high-quality person. thank you so much for this video!!!
The glazing is monstrously huge
such a great and needed message, thank you for sharing!
I was already aware of this stuff but I never thoroughly applied it, I needed someone to reinforce it in my mind, great video.
Glad it was helpful!
30~ secs video started I already find this video so valuable
Bro easy-one-handedly dissected how to recover from modern life. You rock, brother.
Thanks for listening :)
Im gonna drop a couple of "spam comments" just to get this video recommended to more people
ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS VIDEO
We really need to wake up and stay up at all cost.
The awakening
it took me 3 hours to watch this video because i kept getting distracted by nonsense, great video needed to hear this.
just wanted to thank you for sharing your wisdom and words with us, I find it very helpful and also magic, thankss!!
That’s so funny, I saw this video in my recommendations probably 3 times and every time I thought “eh, 11 minutes of some guy talking, it’s too long(crazy..)”. And now that I finally watched it those 11 minutes went so quickly, I even wanted to hear more lol. Thank you for a wake up call, it truly saves years in advance
Thanks for the love
Great video, great piece information! had actual realization on how much time and energy of our lives is just snatched away by bits and pieces of stimulating information!
Focus/concentration is your strength. When coffee is concentrated, we say it is strong...
Stop reacting to a reality you don’t want to keep attracting 🌹
This guy just put into words what I’ve realized for so long but I was falling victim to these attention and awareness draining vices, because they truly understand your brain functions more than you think and it’s all apart of their game to take your attention for personal gain👏
Thanks for your advice, I'm going to go and learn something new now.
It’s crazy how 99% of this is common sense. Unfortunately the world is built on not being mindful so most people are set up to fail systematically. Even people who are considered conventionally “successful” I would guess more than 80% of them still aren’t mentally there.
I still think most creators across all platforms are just taking advantage of people who can’t think for themselves partially why I never comment or even watch videos like these anymore. (not saying you are one of these but you know what I’m talking about)
talk yo talk man
blessings to you brother
Good advice! Thanks.
I loved this. You did a good job tackling the issue
You gained a new subscriber
I was scrolling instagram while watching this video 👍
You're the king haha
