    Aside from meditating, here's what helped me the most: Always be aware of what you're currently doing. You're gonna be surprised just how much control your subconcious has over your daily routines. You'll start to notice patterns such as randomly going to your phone to check a notification, only to end up scrolling on YT/TikTok/Whichever social media site you're using. Focus on what you're doing, and once you notice the urge creeping up, try to resist it and concentrate on your ACTUAL goals at hand. You don't have to use willpower, just let the urge slide and convince yourself to do smth. productive instead. Cravings for small bursts of dopamine will usually subside the moment you enter the Flow State

    Hi, if you are in a complete brain rot state, I would recommend you to start walking outside with music without allowing yourself to look at your phone. Bonus point if you put an album on that you wanted to listen to front to back for a long time. This isn't boring but slow paced and a good point to start. Start with 15-20 Minutes and most likely you are in flow by then and can do more easily. It was my start and now I walk 60-90 Minutes multiple times a week without even music, just thinking about my life and who I even am. It is a worthwhile pursuit. Good luck guys!

      Hey! I'm not the pearson who wrote the original comment, but I'd like to answer your question haha. I'm addicted to scrolling and started meditating a month ago with the help of an app called Atom. My anxiety and procrastination are weaker now! Of course, at the moment, it hasn't been life changing (one thing I've learned in this journey is that the turning point happens gradually) but I know that, in some months or even years, I'll look back and think "wow, now I see how it was life changing". Well, for now, the things I've noticed are: if my thoughts are consuming me, meditating helps not only to quiet them considerably at the moment, but also that effect stays for some hours after I finish my meditation. They dont go away, but man just having less of them is of big help to my concentration. I have more will not only to work, but also to take care of myself properly - clean my room more often, eat healthier meals, exercise...
      And, an important disclaimer: these changes didnt happen exclusively because of meditation. I've been working on myself in different areas of my life for 3 years now. I'm not trying to lessen the importance of meditation for my life, I'm just trying to be realist. With that in mind, hopefully you will start meditating (or some other self care and self improvement habit) and feel better :) Good luck and goob work guys!

      It sometimes baffles me that this sort of thing isn't taught as widely as physical exercise. I'm a psych major as well and even just one semester of one psych class taught me more about my brain and especially the processes involved with neuroplasticity that I believe everyone should learn. Why are psychologists the only ones taught that parts of your conscious AND subconscious mind are physically and tangibly changed with time and effort? Sure I always heard things about meditation helping with focus and stress and whatnot, but I never really believed it until I understood the physical and tangible process behind said phenomena.

      When I used to skate and it would fill up with a lot of people (kids especially), I would get nauseous and loooooaads of anxious feelings, which would lead to... dun-dun-dunn, an anxiety attack. 😀
      Back then, I would use methods to ground myself in hopes of it working on the spot, but anxiety was something I didn't know how to handle that well, nor did I know anyone who could help. (My dad's best advice to this was to "just calm down," as if I'm not trying lmao.)
      A few years back, right around quarantine because I was taking up journaling again, I realized that in a crowded room, the space in my head was even louder with thoughts that don't even matter to me.
      (After meditating, even though anxiety attacks still happen, it isn't as bad anymore and a lot less frequent.)
      Like the person above me said, this video inspired me to meditate a lot more again. I've been slacking with poor excuses to make myself feel better, but it's (imo) better than any medication out there. Seeing everyone's comments helped me see that I'm not the only one, so it's easier to be forgiving toward myself for that.
      I'm really glad to be in an era where so many people are connected like this. Otherwise, I would've never found out about meditation or its benefits. These people are really amazing, so long as you look for them. :)

    Something I've been doing is a thing called morning pages, it's three pages every morning of stream of consciousness writing. Writing whatever comes to mind. I'm doing this in a classic composition notebook so the pages are fairly big (compared to most journals) so writing tends to take me 40 minutes to an hour depending on how focused I am, no phone, music, etc. Since it's writing, it's also interesting to examine the how's and why's of endless scrolling. For me it seems connected to my fear of waking up in the morning, the fear of having to face the world, so scrolling numbs it. I've been actively using the internet less (endless youtube videos and social media) and there's been a direct association for me to dissociate less, have less panic attacks, and be generally better in my skin. I believe it's because I get to curate more what I want to see, been using a pocket notebook to scribble, write down ideas, etc and when bored I've been looking back into that notebook which is 1) limited in information due to size and amount of pages and 2) things I care more about than random instagram crap. Also started a commonplace book for information I'd want to retain, another way to curate what I take in and want to remember. Paper has really been changing my life

    I followed this one meditation video for 30 days in a row. It was meant for ADHD people (such as myself), so it had a sound cue to redirect your attention back to the video. After some time of listening to that same video every night, I noticed I was able to focus much better even without the sound cues than I was when I first listened to it. That was huge progress for me, since my mind usually tends to run from thought to thought, but not during meditation.
    I can wholeheartedly recommend meditation. The better focus is not the only benefit you get from doing it. It increases your dopamine levels (which is directly linked to your focus. More dopamine = better focus). Meditation also helps you calm down and release stress, possibly slowing down your thoughts and focusing on the present or on your body (this is called mindfulness). Putting your electronics away an hour before you go to sleep and then meditating can improve your quality of sleep as well. Meditating every day improves your mood.
    And possibly loads of other benefits that I can’t think of right now. 100% recommend.
    Edit: just gotta say that now I want to close TH-cam and do something else. I was originally gonna watch some shorts, but this video was a great reminder of what’s actually healthy

    I started focusing on my prayers recently to really connect my mind to what I'm saying. I think having routinely prayers helps the brain to stay in focus on their future goals as we ask God for what we want to be in our lives and how we want to depart from this life.

    • @Yuuki-jp4ob

      you know what? that's pretty on point. subvocalizing (whispering, praying, etc) not only lets you actually focus on what you're saying, but also engages your orbitofrontal cortex, which controls behavior. basically, praying about what you want to become instead of saying it out loud like in conversation is much more effective and actually leads to lasting change. keep at it, man

    What could also help is watching these video essays on topics that are interesting to you or topics that you planned on researching but haven't had the motivation to start. Video essays can span up to an hour or 4 hours (even more sometimes). It's a good way to get your mind going if you're able to stay on that video without scrolling and/or doing something else on the side! But also consider why you're looking for distractions and what's going on in your life thats causing you to constantly look for stimulation. Once you're aware or have addressed said issue, it can help immensely :D

It feels rewarding pouring all your focus into worship first thing in the morning, and sitting calmly with a clear head afterwards. Helps you keep track of what's most important, i encourage my fellow muslimeen to make more of an effort in praying fajr on time in this age where technology consumes us
