I created the Anti-Doomscroll Journaling + Meditation Kit because I NEED IT NOW.
I was about to write… I don’t know why I am scrolling so much…
But I do know.
And lying to ourselves is one way we avoid facing our truth.
Though I want to be clear: avoiding the truth is not a sin! It’s not a sign of weakness. It doesn’t mean you’ll never face it and work through it and get to the other side of it.
Usually we lie to ourselves to avoid our truth out of SELF KINDNESS. Because we are just not up to facing all of it in the moment. And that’s ok!!! All self kindness is a radical and creative act, in this world.
The Live Your Best Life Industry has gone WAYY off the deep end when it comes to blaming and shaming ourselves for having fears and doubts that make us hold back from our biggest dreams.
IT MAKES SENSE THAT WE WANT TO DISTRACT OURSELVES AT THIS TIME.
IT MAKES SENSE TO FEEL ANXIOUS OR EXHAUSTED OR OVERWHELMED OR EXACTLY HOWEVER YOU FEEL.
IT MAKES SENSE THAT YOU FEEL REALLY SMALL SOMETIMES AND YOUR DREAM FEELS REALLY BIG AND OUT OF REACH.
It makes ALL THE SENSE IN THE WORLD.
It doesn’t mean it’s super good for us. That doesn’t mean we have to keep doing it forever… But there’s nothing wrong with doomscrolling as a way to distract ourselves from the horrors.
AND… we can feel when it becomes a problem that we are ready to solve.
And then we can make a different choice.
Without shaming ourselves along the way.
Just saying - yeah that was the right choice for me because I felt too depleted for any other choice. And the tech billionaires put a LOT of money and effort into making those apps as addictive as possible so it makes sense that they pull me in.
And it’s valid that I want to make a different choice now.
And there are even good things about social media and how I can connect with people there and I don’t want to stop completely I just want to have a more intentional and helpful relationship with it.
Like - there is no either/or here. There are lots of truths and we can validate all of them and not make our past selves WRONG.
So…. I created the Anti-Doomscroll Kit because I NEED IT NOW.
And I am not judging myself for choices I’ve made that got me to this place where I need it.
And this week I am committing to really USING IT.
There is a meditation there that is for WHEN YOU ARE IN THE MOMENT WITH IT. Either about to pick up your device, or when you are scrolling and starting to notice that this no longer feels nourishing.
It’s an alchemy meditation to re-wire that energy that is flowing towards the device, bringing it back to you, to LET YOURSELF BE NOURISHED AND FED BY YOUR OWN ENERGY.
And a journaling kit (you can do either the meditation or the journaling or both!), also to be used IN THAT MOMENT, with prompts for transforming your relationship with doom scrolling.
This is serious dream fuel.
I hope you’ll use it with me.
Membership members: get it here. And leave your thoughts in the comments on the bottom of the page about what you learn about what it is you REALLY need in that moment when you reach for the device. Let's inspire each other!
I added it to the home page of the membership to make it easier to find. (You can also use the FAVOURITES feature - scroll down to the bottom of any page on the site, and click the orange FAVOURITES button and then that page will show up in your “Classes + Faves” page which is always available from the menu bar at the top of the site.
And I added TWENTY check boxes! Check it off each time you do it and let’s see how fast you can get to 20!
If you're not in the membership: join here! Do this with me!
Even if you don't want to dive into the deeper Creative Dream Alchemy programs in the membership - your can just join for a month to use this to transform your relationship with doomscrolling! Let's scroll less and create more!
