🫣 11 Actually Productive Alternatives to Doomscrolling
Put Down Your Smart Phone, Put Your Hands in the Air & Step Away Slowly ...
Sol Luckman
Allow me to kick off this post with some lyrics to a new song that I plan to showcase on a future hip-hop-inspired album …
🌋“Doomscrollin’” Lyrics …
I don’t need the right wing
Or the left wing
I’m growin’ my own wings
Thank you very much
Me, I’m over doomscrollin’
I’m done with controllin’
I’m like a river just flowin’
I’m like thunder just rollin’
I don’t need the right wing
Or the left wing
I’m growin’ my own wings
Thank you very much
Thank you very much
Today’s doom prophets
Are all about profit
They’re on the payroll
That’s how they roll
I don’t need the right wing
Or the left wing
I’m growin’ my own wings
Thank you very much
Thank you very much
If you listen to their bullshit
You deserve whatever you get
Reality forever goes
As your attention flows
I don’t need the right wing
Or the left wing
I’m growin’ my own wings
Thank you very much
Thank you very much
Innerstand that apocalypse
Just means revelation
Keep shootin’ from the hip
That’s your true salvation
I don’t need the right wing
Or the left wing
I’m growin’ my own wings
Thank you very much
Thank you very much
Me, I’m over doomscrollin’
I’m done with controllin’
I’m like a river just flowin’
I’m like thunder just rollin’
I don’t need the right wing
Or the left wing
I’m growin’ my own wings
Thank you very much
Thank you very much
Thank you very much
🔥 🔥 🔥 With the foregoing lyrics and images as context, I propose the following 11 activities as healthy alternatives to wasting your precious time and energy materializing someone else’s vision of worldwide chaos and destruction.
😇 See what works for you, give it a go, and watch your life change for the better …
💡 Make a video or write a blog post of your own vision of a positive future to energize a different outcome.
💡 Honor someone you love with a poem, a portrait or another creative tribute to a meaningful connection in your life.
💡 Pick up a new hobby or learn a different sport to change your neurological pathways and open up novel cognitive possibilities beyond today’s pervasive fear porn.
💡 Move your body with dance, surfing, qigong or whatever else turns you on to shake off the over-the-top doom and gloom and embrace the limitless potential of the present moment.
💡 Focus, really focus all the creative power of your imagination on something incredibly positive you’d love to see happen in your life for five minutes a day until it happens.
💡 Repeat the above with something you’d love to witness in the world at large. Heck, put in ten minutes a day if you can spare the time. Lord knows the world needs all the help it can get.
💡 Make it a point to change one judgmental reaction a day to its opposite: nonjudgmental okayness.
💡 Find ways to laugh: at genuinely funny things, people and situations; at your own follies and shortcomings; at the absurdity of it all. Let laughter empty you of self-importance and fill you back up with creative helium until you’re light enough to float.
💡 Choose peaceful silence the next time conflict crops up in your life. Check out this video to learn more.
💡 Share empowering messages like this with friends and followers to “pay it forward” into a brighter future for all.
💡 Choose one day a week to go off social media completely. Use this time to nurture yourself and come up with additional strategies to unplug from a society self-destructively addicted to doomscrolling.
