And how can you reclaim your brain? Palki Sharma tells you.

I un-installed social media and started reading books. I had fun while reading but an increase in focus and my attention time span came as a bonus after a couple of months.

[nithindabilpuram]

youtube should provide an option to disable shorts completely

[JUTE]

Fun fact: I got to see this video while doom scrolling on YouTube 😢

[santoshbhonsle.s]

I love how you guys are targeting issues that most of main media doesn't even bat an eye about.
Keep up the great work!

[jasongriggs]

The entire world is in a doom loop....Palki is awesome...great journalism.

[paulosmond]

Deleting social media is the best decision of my life I’m 30 I go to peoples houses to talk n hangout make phone calls and don’t text eliminate the screan and you gain the world

[abhinavraj]

Explains doomscrolling in a video uploaded at midnight. Well played Firstpost

[bwambalebenard]

I haven't seen somebody so flawlessly articulate like u palki. This is awake up call. Robin sharma talks deeply abt it deeply in his book, 5 am club.

[bapparawal]

This is good journalism. People need to hear such stories regularly which first hand affects them rather than what political party did what.

I am having a hard time disconnecting with my mobile. I want to do it, but my reflexes says otherwise. I am not in social platforms for more than 7yrs, only watch YouTube and it's seems i am addicted to it. I have bigger goals to achieve but i am hindering myself in achieving them, seriously want to get away from it😢.

[sampreetyneha]

Palki you are my favourite.. I really really love the way you talk the way you carry yourself, you are such an inspiration.. love you❤

[NikitaSharma-bsgg]

yoga helped me centre myself and much less need for online addiction

[Savio]

Honestly saying that you are bringing the most reliable news with the right perception to us. Happy to watch your channel 🙂😊😊

[Rreynu]

Your efforts are commendable to bring out such crucial topics into focus…more power to you❤

[Thoughtsofanetizen]

Thnx palki for addressing this issue. There is always an another path to follow. Thank you for reminding me.

[dhanvimahajan]

I was going through stress and anxiety and I stopped using social media and bam ! Became more happier and healthier now ❤

[exquisitecaribbeanqueen]

I am not a dooms stroller. As a ambitious Carribbean woman, I have too many things to do like reading, building my business, connecting with my real friends who are my community. Going on the beach, managing my time & so much more...I use what is called " Moderation " which is why " Self discipline to Spirit discipline " is the key to winning in this

[vikasverma]

Thankyou so much 💕🙏🏻
Palki Sharma 🌷🌷🌷

[kaminitayulladil]
