I went off social media for the month+ of Lent...I replaced my scroll time with watercolor painting... best thing I've ever done. I'm far more engaged in the world now. Just got back from a 6km hike up into the mountains. Things i didn't have "time" for previously.
¹
Good for you!. I tend to read a lot. Good distraction from looking at my laptop (I don't scroll through phones, but look at my laptop, maybe more than I should).
The irony of having even found Mel Robbins and others if not for scrolling, and then being click-baited by her to watch yet another video with "more info." LOL
I listened to her pod cast. I don’t watch it.
When I’m cleaning, I put Mel on.
He is talking about being on your device doing anything that doesn’t bring you a sense of well being.
@@Agangelone we know what he's referring to. I'm referring to the irony. CHEERS! SM is SM whether it's vid, podcast, a Xeet, Insta ...
I like to wear red, bright pink, and bright colours to the gym when exercising. The colours make me excited to exercise. I love exercising and I love life.
My life has some sorrows like giving birth to a disabled child, having a husband with kidney disease, still waiting for a kidney transplant and me having a diagnosis of a mental disorder two years ago. I had brain surgery 2 years ago changing my mental disorder to one of a having a growth on my brain. I had brain surgery and the tumour was removed. I have changed my life now to one of joy and excitement. I have found colours and taking charge of my life has changed me to enjoy my life.
I live in a small city in Canada where I walk everywhere to buy groceries, live beside a river, enjoy the beautiful countryside and enjoy my lifestyle.
Thank you Mel! And your guest!

Stretching, moving, meditating at the end of the day, these are what help me feel relaxed and give me a good night's sleep, or doodling , colouring, drawing, research shows this also calms and relaxes the brain and helps with pain, anxiety, stress also. Build a happy little habit and it grows and helps you become motivated and more present ❤
I did the same thing with the Eclipse, twice!! Drove 7 hours to my friend's home and we then drove another 3 hours south to capture 4 minutes of "magic". We also spent 6 hours hanging with butterflies a different day and we hike together whenever we get the chance. Next year the two of us are going to Alaska to chase the Aurora Borealis, ride a train, and soak in Hot Springs. I also walk around my yard barefoot almost daily [earthing] to receive the benefits of grounding and a silent mind. I absolutely love that I have found a way to disconnect from the mundane and absorb the awe of our surroundings and what nature provides us. My anxiety has nearly fully disappeared!!!
Gosh this guy is excellent. Please have him back and for longer.
Scrawling and iPhone is not always a bad thing. That is my favourite tool to go to when my narc husband goes into silent treatment for weeks. He hates my phone because when I am listening to podcasts like these or watching old favourite movies or songs, connecting with my friends and family, he knows his crappy behaviour becomes insignificant and barely noticeable! 🎉
Maybe not, as long as you don't spend too much time on it. And try not to make excuses about why you 'need' to use/scroll through it.
@@brynne77 I don't make any excuses for anything I do. I don't need to convince anyone. I will do what I like, just as everyone else in the world 😅
As a marketer, I've studied colours and what comes to mind is that colour is often
interpreted very differently around the world. For example, white in Western Society is associated with weddings, cleanliness, etc.; however, in some Asian cultures, white is quite the opposite: it represents death, for one.
Terrific guest. Engaging, insightful, wonderful communicator. A must return guest. Thanks for sharing!
You've done it again Mel. Great guest, amazing insight from this gent.
This is a great Podcast! I truly miss spending time outside as I've been working for the last many months toward a promotion (that I'm not sure I even want). On my next day off I'm going to clean up my porch and make a cozy spot so I can easily give myself outside time every day. Thank you, I needed this push to take care of my own mental perspective.🌳
Don't forget to take a walk outside too. Important to get your blood pumping for good health and GOOD SLEEP!!! 😴 💤 🛏
PS It also clears your mind of all the work stress & increases endorphins, the feel good hormones...

my high school niece in Canada is required to turn in her phone at the beginning of the school day and retrieve them at the end of the day is a commendable policy.
Wow where? I'm in Canada but that's not the case here
Very good. As a result of this, are the students at that school actually talking to each other instead of scrolling through their phones?
Thank you Mel and Dr Adam, I'm grateful that I don't have a SmartPhone - my wife does that scroll thing constantly when she gets home from work. I hope that she will watch this and maybe change that empty feeling. There's so much more to life than endlessly scrolling. Thanks for the colour and being out in nature tips too - I always feel better when I walk outside. Now I can see why!
I own a laptop so it stays home. I own a flip phone with no internet by choice. I don't want to be distracted constantly. I do not drive so no need for a GPS. I do what I need with the internet and then shut it down. I only have Facebook and TH-cam for scrolling and that is enough.
It seems the world will not be able to survive if the internet was to be eliminated and that is very sad and scary to me...I turn the ringer off on my phone, so no distraction, and only check it when I want to. I don't like it's the ball and chain that it's become. ....people use gps for everything and if they suddenly lost their phone they would be lost. Very sad to me.
This is a smart way to live. I drive but at some point I would love to know my way around without GPS as a goal
@@lindygatesThis is very true. Majority of people in my age group are constantly on their phones, me included. I want to overcome this phone addiction of mine so bad
That is in compatible with a business or career
You are the best Mel and the guest.❤❤❤
I live in N ID. For years 1 of my favorite things is to do is set my chair or cot up in a mountain stream and read the Bible. You can hear the sunshine and the peace.
Greens make me feel relaxed ,Purples make me feel focused but relaxed ,Yellow makes me feel edgy and energetic.Colour is powerful this is why it is used in politics and in authority and in hospitals and institutions. Red can give you confidence ,Blue clams and Greens x
Mel, this podcast was one of your best. The sad part is we won’t know the effects of internet device babies for many years. I see kids who are small enough to be sitting in a grocery cart holding a device with a screen just to keep them entertained.
We do. Theres many reports now coming out and its all.BAD
Yes agreed but by scrolling I found Mel. So how do we listen to Mel podcasts it's on our devices!
I’m a big fan of Adam Alter’s work. I will buy every book he publishes because of the work he puts in, to put productivity into perspective. His book Anatomy of a Breakthrough really helped me understand my own approach to creative projects and the challenges we face while trying to finish a long drawn out project. Great interview, thank you
What are his books? Thank you
@@user-bc1bd2cf1e Anatomy of a Breakthrough
Mel.... I absolutely love your content. You have helped me in so many ways. Thank you for being here and making my day every time I get notified of new content. Stay safe and have a blessed day. 💜
The mirror also helps a lot when making sales calls. You look at your self and your attitude changes completely particularly if you are not in a good mood.
You start smiling and the other person on other side of the phone can actually feel it. Which will certainly redirect your output 🎉
I just love your show Mel! You really are a lighthouse ❤
I'd be more interested in how color affects our moods
I trained as a colour therapist and that sounds a bit pseudo but focusing on colours and even wearing certain colours ,try this when you are getting dressed for the day be more colour conscious about how this makes you feel .
I’m due for a smart phone upgrade grade .. and very much considering a “ flip phone” .. I leave my phone off and at home base most of the time… I appreciate the explanation of difference with TV screens, and “ interactive devices”. Great podcast! Thank You both!
Wow, so red color is that powerful. I need 20yrs back. ❤
This is an amazing episode!! Thank you so much Mel!! We love you!! 🖤🖤🖤
The internet is addiction to discontent. Which causes
Divine discontent. Never ever satisfied always more & more until emptiness becomes noticeably
boring if you notice at all.
Discipline is the answer by deciding it’s just a tool for
your work, school etc.. DECIDE! Why you utilize it
as a purposeful too. Otherwise your choosing to
dump yourself down. It’s a choice!!
There’s a brilliant film & Q&A on iPhones, 4 billion selfies what we scroll & look at daily😱🥵⁉️blew my mind, From the 1st photo, 1st film, 1st iPhones I think it’s called “ the Fantastic machine??”
Great interview, thank you. Love the way Mel talks, which is clear, well pronounced and slowly. I can follow and understand everything she says. Thank you. He's great too.
Using screens even affects our eyesight, so when we go out in the real world we get headaches or light sensitivity as we've been focused on a light in close proximity. We become short sighted, the literal physical kind, although of course it's also a good analogy.
Whenever I feel depressed, I reach for pink clothes. Always makes me feel better
I LOVED LOVED LOVED this! Thank You, Mel❤
In my city (Calgary, Alberta, Canada) we have many natural parks. My son and I get out to them as much as we can. Nature restores my soul! My son used to spend most of his free time online, and I know that getting away from it and into nature has been so good for him. TV is my problem. I have to get back to spending my evenings with a good book!
I needed that! Thank you so much. Both of you. Just great!
Great show - as always. Love Mel’s curiosity and humility she brings to her interviews.
Thoroughly enjoyed this message!! Thank you so much, great speaker
You just have to be thankful for life❤
Wow what an eye opening interview! Many take away learning points for me. Great job Mel & Adam! 🙏
What great information to help me make changes. Thank you Mel and Dr. Adam.
great episode!! def will take the advice i hate my scrolling habits!!
I would travel 5 hours to visit my Mother, and she would just sit there like a zombie on her phone, scrolling, clicking, liking, and commenting. It really hurt, she is addicted to her phone.
I am so sorry
@@lindyvandenbosch9539 ❤💙
Get her interested in hobbies maybe plants, good book, knitting book club, gardening??
People who are lonely or disabled don’t have much choice.
Plan a simple outing on the day of your visits🌳
Don't let other people control ur emotions, I know it's hard, but it's not impossible. Maybe Don't go see ur mom for awhile, and see if she misses ur visits....if she asks why ur not visiting, have a honest conversation with her how it makes u feel when hee attention is on her phone and not you....if she cares about ur feelings she may see what ur saying is true and will try to get better. For you❤. She's ur mom and she should be able to focus on ur visit or maybe she doesn't need the visit? Idk. But I have 3 kids amd they are always looking on their phones when I'm around so I don't hang with them much anymore. I feel not important enough for their attention so why put myself In that situation that doesn't make me feel good. It's a 2 way street. We can choose how and who we spend our time with. Good luck and hope u can find a resolution.
Mel, you can claim you did find your purpose of life!!! THANK YOU 🙏
Amazing, so helpful! Thank you so much 💚🙏
Loved the practical ideas to help yet still embrace the digital life we have. Thanks
Wow this was fascinating….thank you Adam and Mel 🥰
What a beautiful train of thought, thank you both for sharing 🙏🌿🩵🐬
Wonderful podcast! Thank you!
The most beneficial podcast I’ve ever heard because it is something I can do today and possibly have the strongest impact on my life.
Thank you Mel xx
Thank you very much ❤
Great Podcast! Everyone needs to listen to this. Thank you!
This is so interesting.
I enjoy knitting and it would be a timeless activity. I know that what he says about feeling empty from scrolling is true.
Smart phones has saved me from making lists of things to look up when I get home to my computer! Now I can look it up right then. 😉
This is so dangerous- all people (especially at schools) have to listen to it! Thank you for sharing this all important information!
Started listening to that book- you’re right it’s very enjoyable
I love spending time in my garden!
Loved this Mel - so many AHA MOMENTS 🤪🙏🏻❤️ I have shared it with everyone.
Thank u mel
A very simple solution is for families to take a walk with the kids in the neighborhood after dinner. Catching up on everyone's day & stopping to chat with neighbors and friends! 🧡
PS: Leave the phones at home!!! 🏡
OK, maybe Mom keeps hers with, in case of Emergency...
I've quit drinking but I am definitely a doom scroller!! This is so eye opening, fantastic podcast Mel!
God bless Mel Robbins.
Get your own dopamine and peace... exercise, music and nature
Sooo great …. Love this …. So great ❤
Warm color and cool colors and also color temperatures
This is an excellent interview! (and it's on a screen!)
I like the mirror in the fridge. I think this would work for me. 😂
This is really interesting ❤
Curious about the colours. My kids primary school wear red jumpers and the other primary school down the road have a deep blue. So would that affect children too or just adults?
The mirror thing is very interesting!
Thank youuu❤❤❤
Feng Shui has talked about color for as long as it has been practiced. Pay attention to what color you paint walls in your house
Loved it
What a handsome doctor❤
I’m listen to this as I’m currently sitting out back with my feet in a kids pool with the wind slightly blowing and a train horn in the distance.
This was amazing!
Love that you've gotten into ACOTAR ❤

Hello namaste mel robbins, i am watching from Nepal 👌
Great talk I'm going to need a bigger mirror 😂
There are no stopping queues on so many TV series - next episode starts in 10 seconds... You could sit there all night.
I am watching your podcast on phone. Found while I was scrolling. Lol😂
Great podcast. BTW if your loved ones or you end up in a hospital room without a view of nature, bring them a plant! It's the next best thing. : )
Awesome sauce ❤
That was great 👍
Amaizing❤❤
Does screen time include listening to podcast?
I just checked my phone settings and did the math and I’m now feeling physically sick from seeing how much of my life I’m spending on my phone!
Dressing Your Truth with Carol Tuttle has taught me what colors works for me as I walk upon the earth… you can find her on TH-cam!!! I am a type 1 with my secondary being type 4!!!!!!!!
Colors mean a lot! As a massage therapist for 21 in Iowa!!! I do my best to select massage table sheets for my clients with their colors!!!!
Without words❤🙏🎁
I actually think quite different. Mobile phones are like knives. It depends on how you use them. Might be the case that the more you use them correctly and effectively it will be better.
interesting! I feel my best in my red lipstick!
thank you so much for this information I am going to put the cell in the cookie jar for at least one hour a day
The Egyptians used colour baths for healing
13:43 Red… 🥀😡👺
Parents carpeted our beautiful natural wooden Rustic funky house with RED CARPETS THRU OUT THE ENTIRE HOUSE!!!
Not their bed room tho.
That house was angry abusive heart breaking after that day..
we all went different directions soon after ..
it was domestic violence every night. I had to pretend all was ok. The entire town knew when Dad came home after work drunk and slimey!
I loathe alcohol for that reason .. it’s sleezy or it’s a hiding in the shed..
So I don’t think red should be in a house if ur wanting loving space.
I note that chakras charts don’t have red for the heart like most would think. It’s Green.. I’d be a far more relaxed person if it had of been different.
Oh and I’m a red head to top it off..
put that into a study note of how it doesn’t work out well.😪😪
Red may be a bit energizing, but there was alcoholism & anger way before the red paint 🎨... Perhaps you matured to a level where you understood it.
Sorry you had to grow up in that environment tho 😢
"taking a bath in a scream😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I think it’s all about balance. And I think that’s what they are saying here. I don’t watch anything negative on my phone but I know I need to take time away from my phone and get back to nature. Your phone is not “bad” it’s just all about balance.
Ur right, it's a balancing act. I personally do not leave the sound on my phone, so when I have the time, or I want to check it, then I pull it out...its a choice that people need to make.
It's so sad that we are almost suffering from anxiety just having the thought of not scrolling a screen in the evenings. And then the same applies scrolling. It's like a vicious circle.
I would have gotten behind the ‘no cell phone on your person’ in the past, but with school shootings and such, if I had a school age child, I would want them to have a phone.
I knew I had to get out of the city/built-up environment and move to a little island, where I can be in real nature every day.
Great topic, Mel! Love your show! Makes sense that stores use mirrors to check customers.
