I got conscious of doomscrolling and took action against it https://leofinance.io/@behiver/i-got-conscious-of-doomscrolling-and-took-action-against-it These days we are digesting news and information with the speed of light and sometimes also need to take a pill in order not to throw up from it. The mind seems hungry for bad news and we end up on apps like Twitter or TikTok spending hours without realizing it. And I just found out that this is known as doomscrolling. Doomscrolling means continually reading social media in times of distress, anticipating more bad news to come. Whether we read about bad news or still have any hope for some positive news, we end up scrolling through the information fed to us and our brain ends up digesting everything. It is like we are connected to a chopper and we simply cannot stop. * This post continues a previous one and here I have detailed my actions and view on the bad effects of doomscrolling.
