What I Learned From Scrolling On Social Media. And What I’m Going To Start Calling A “Paused State”

[@kingdomseekers1973]

Instant gratification is my current cigarette

[@jrueking8085]

A good way I think of it is like a pot full of honey and its gratification. Once you do the work and become who you need to be you get the pot. Every time you do things for instant gratification you take from the pot and now at the end of the road.. if you even get it… you get less then what you could of had. And that reminds me to put away comfort now and just keep working on building the man I need to be because long term fulfillment will come from delaying it and focusing on the journey ahead.

i quit social media back in april. on day 1 my brain was replaying a tiktok scroll even though my phone wasn't even in the same room. it was the first thing to go through my head everyday for a week,then once i started journaling first thing in the morning instead, that changed.

Hey that’s so awesome! It’s amazing to recognize it and then go get out of it! I do the same thing and that journal is a life changer. I always put down reflection for the changes and things I need to apply going forward and a focus on who I need to be and I do the same thing. I can start to have what I’m writing replaying through my head instead of the old songs or videos or things I used to watch. So I fully relate that’s great your doing that💯🙏

This is some really profound stuff, and the way you explained it really resonates with me. I’m going to save this video and watch it again the next times i feel like scrolling. I’m so glad this video showed up on my feed, thank you for making it ❤️

I’ve been on a 2 year journey to limit my social media usage. Recently I’ve been reading physical books a lot more. I feel so much better and healthier in reality

Everyone needs to wake up from scrolling. 💯

[@jrueking8085]

It’s so scary how it just is so normal and we almost don’t even realize how different we can feel when we start to get away from it. It’s like your eyes become opened once you lift the covers off. Keep making that progress we will keep getting better everyday 💯
