Don't Check your Phone First Thing | #shorts

Do you ever find yourself in bad-news spirals? Where you specifically look out for bad news, then keep going down rabbit holes of… you guessed it, more bad news? It’s called ‘doomscrolling’.

We know it’s not good for us, yet we keep scrolling and scrolling, almost seeking it out.

Most of us spent some portion of 2020 ‘doomscrolling’,­ so much so that it was added to the Oxford English Dictionary (prior to 2020 the word didn’t exist), and they also named it word of the year.

It’s not necessarily a new human behavior though. We tend to do similar things when we come across a car accident… “Can’t look away… can’t look away…”

It’s been described as a behavior we engage in when we’re trying to get answers when we’re afraid or during uncertainty.

And the reality is we’ve all going through huge amounts of uncertainty over the past 2 years so it’s entirely understandable.

BUT… here’s why you don’t want to be endlessly consuming negative news, ESPECIALLY in the morning:

One study found that people who watched just 3 minutes of negative news in the morning had a whopping 27% greater likelihood of reporting their day as unhappy or depressing 6-8 hours later.

Negative news influences how we approach our life, our work and the challenges we encounter. It starts to erode our sense of personal control, and we begin to believe that we’re powerless to effect change.

Not what we want.

Instead, set up your day for success by priming your brain with things that serve you:
– Meditation
– Mindfulness
– Prayer
– Exercise
– Positive uplifting content…

Share in the comments what you do to start your day (or what you’re going to implement now that you know better!). I’d love to hear it!👇

This is why I always start with immediate prayer and gratitude practices… I try not to touch my phone or any technology for the first three hours, unless I’m listening to great meditation music on YouTube! I love the name that you get it, “doom scrolling“… Seems like humans are geared for this! Sometimes if I’m going through a really tough time in life and I get to ruminating first thing in the morning, or late at night or while I’m sleeping, it can be so hard to break out of that funk during the day! Doesn’t surprise me that doing this would put you in a bad mood for the rest of the day.
