go there just sometimes and train yourself to not feel that way...despite that stuff you visited feels provocating (challenging)

Here's how to fix all three of those: How to stop feeling guilty on social media: "Don't look for others' approval. Look for your worth in God." How to stop feeling angry on social media: "Remember that social media has algorithms, and what you feel is likely not true." How to stop feeling jealous on social media: "Turn your jealousy into motivation." These three will help to stop those three emotions on social media.

Ah yes, while we all watch KZfaq.

it's literally so pathetic

That's a great idea! :0

oh that sounds crazy scaryy in a very good way tho

I definitely will try this, thank you!

@@josephaemma3852 How was it?

I just think that although this might be a good idea, I'd be wasting double my time though!

Thanks for this 👏🏽 I need to do the same!

so insightful! thanks a bunch for this

After a while you realize that social media is entirely repetitive as well, mostly on insta and tiktok. ( yes I know the ALGORITHM) But it’s all the same thing. Really attractive people that make you feel bad about how you look. Flexing “ successful “ 20 yr olds who post luxury cars and items; that as well makes you feel bad. Ads/sponsorships just more ads that never stop.

7 books a month!! I think you're scanning and not reading?

@@emirbasha1410 I think you have never sat down and consumed an entire novel in one day. Some people are extremely fast readers. I can do that easily, as can 2 friends of mine. She likely read and understood every word.

Totally. Brené Brown has something like this (mentions it in 'Men, Women, and Worthiness', which blew my mind). Something like: Ask yourself, will this matter in 5 minutes, then will this matter in 5 days, weeks, years. Same thing more or less. For nearly everything in life, if you extend the timeline far enough, nothing is worth stressing about THAT much. It's actually a good tool to bring us back to the present and focus when we fvck up, and are stressing our arses off.

But how do u answer that I mean is something like moving to a different place something that matters next year? E. G.

@@amungreiss537 well it’s true that some things will have far reaching effects on your life and should be thought through. But at the end of the day, in 100 years, no one will be around to judge you for moving to a different place. When I moved to France for a year when I was 23, some people thought it was irresponsible and could interrupt my career. But I really thought it was something that was worth doing, and it seemed unlikely that it would have anything but a positive effect on my life in 5 years. And I was right, 4 years later it has no concrete effect on my daily life and is nothing but a fond memory. But I had a job lined up when I moved there, and I brought my boyfriend with me and we’re married now. So the question “will this matter in 5 years” was not the only thing I considered, but it did help me feel less stressed about the decision when I had already made it and was waiting for my flight.

@@sarah345 ah Okay I see put into perspective it isn't that important. I mean what I take from that comment is like you are you no matter what you do I don't know that's how interpret it. I mean I have the thing that I going to move to a different place for an acting school and currently wondering if that has a big effect you know :)

happy for you!

Well done! How did you cut down, what was your strategy?

@@jirihozpodebrad23 I deleted Instagram off my phone and set the timer for KZfaq to 0 minutes in my digital wellbeing app so I can't watch anything on my phone. I had some good habits already in place that have helped me stick to it, namely a mindfulness practice so I'm pretty good at being aware of when I am craving scrolling and then choosing to do something else. Things I've replaced it with -- creative outlets like painting and photography, journaling, walks, cooking more, having more conversations with my partner, working on starting my own business. Also just being more okay with being bored. Social media for me was a way to try to avoid boredom I think, but being bored isn't inherently bad and can create space for creativity.

@@alexlorenz7 sounds great! And very reflected. Thank you so much for the input and for sharing your journey! Hope I'll find a strategy as well :-) Cheers!

Can you give an example of a situation and a haiku?

@@AdrianDanielGuard they're all written after each meditation session, and they just capture the essence of the moment. I'm no poet, and it doesn't follow any poetry/ haiku rules, but here are a couple of examples: Stillness in the room Swirling in my mind Then a fleeting moment of Being. _ and another example after a full moon meditation: Moon shines bright legs asleep Mind drifts Heart full of gratitude _ Hope this helps! There's no need to censor yourself - just write whatever feels right. Flipping back through the pages now, I remember the flavour of each meditation session just from distilling it down to its essence. :)

Love it!

I love that!

love writing haikus! the 575 structure helps me practice expressing in a more succinct manner, without feeling pressure to flesh out every detail. i'll have to try breaking traditional form some time, cheers to micro journaling!

What social media has turned into has made quitting it easier. It doesn't connect me with people anymore. It only serves to alienate and extract. I'm nuking my social media profiles this summer and never looking back.

Can you explain what exactly you do?

what app did you use ?

I envy you! I had the opposite thing happening to me - had to give up my gorgeous 20 year old Nokia for a smartphone because 2G isn't supported anymore and I wouldn't have enough reception :-( Now I find myself glued to the feckin' phone much more than I need to and it's definitely not healthy :-( I bet this all seems like a big plan by those big companies... :-(

I tried to do this but needed Gps that worked!

Yay! 👏👏👏😊

Tell something about how you spend your day

I work out, cook, clean, and spend time praying for and encouraging others, as well as developing meaningful friendships with women, I read books, and love my husband.

I'd like to hear your story, especially God's hand in it.

This may sound irrelevant but I was just reading your comment and I'm wondering How can I find a mentor in my life????

❤️

You don't even know how much I needed to hear this

It helps to vent that foul smelling methane gas a bit at a time - BEFORE it turns into deadly explosive diareah ! Let's conscientiously use our earnest outrage to 'Burn' them narcissistic deceptacon hex-nut motherfrackers outta thee equation for good . 👌☝The best way to gaslight the entire world is to mass-broadcast very scary and confusing information over large media platforms and then give no one the ability to question you, so the masses are left to squabble over it amongst themselves." This technique is called Divide and Conquer in (illegal-alien overlord) New World Order through sponsoring the chaos in the first place. Too bad People perish for lack of knowledge --- as well as 'knowing' so much that ain't so . Hopefully there is still a way to sort this terrible shit out BEFORE it's too late... Tyrannts drunk on power (due to 'exclusive' access to so-called 'superior' artificial intelligent technology) --- think they can 'play' God and shmuck the whole world into going to war against everything pure and natural and good --- but they definitely got another thing coming ... Billy the PRICK is trying to hijack humanity and turn honest to goodness indigenous earthings into patented humanoid 2.0 hybrids (he would own) through forced diabolically retarded genetic-molesting toxic cocktails --- for Christsakes ! Time to cut the crap. (Anyone pretending to save humanity by wiping 2/3rds of it out is definitely the antichrist --- research EUGENICS) Billionaire's lives matter A billion times more Than all the lives of every color combined --- acording to the celebutard cheater-class insider 'experts' and 'kiss-asses' trying desperately to sell the rest of humanity out in their insatiable hellbent to become godlike billionaires themselves. Time to cut the crap . No fn doubt the establishment is a con's-piracy --- you can't blame anyone for speculating what is really going on when the 'knowledge that is power' is systematically and vigilantly reguarded as 'top secret' . Time to hold them unmentionable self-chosen supremacist secret cults with diplomatic immunity accountable --- Before they 'manage' to make the rest of us various types of relatively poor Indigenous folks do each other in for nothing . . . Just be aware We all gotta realize how left and right (good actors and pure evil) always manage to work together 'nicely' when it comes time to give themselves big bonuses and $ell the rest of the population out . usa is getting played by both sides playing good cop bad cop --- when they are ALL diabolically retarded lucifarian flunky deceptacon hex-nut motherschmuckers in on the proverbial poi-zionist masonic power pyramid scheme HELLBENT for TOTAL WORLD DOMINATION together . Their O.T. - O.G. is one and the same as the narcissistic devil he is supposedly against. Playing both sides for schmucks is just how the deceptacon hex-nut pedophile preistclass kingpimps roll ... Spreading the other cheek further for them to rape everything more easily sure as heck aint helping anyone but the big glory hog glory hole himself . (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mMBkgbeVuLGZkZc.html This 6hr lucifarian whistleblower vid was about how almost all celebutards flash illumi-naughty gang signs) Of coarse if any 'professionals' come clean with the dirty details of their 'trade$' --- we should have mercy on them --- but until then --- they deserve every bit of righteous outrage that's coming their way ... But --- we heavenly endowed earthly beloved are fixing to excorcise all those who are violating our CERTAIN UN-ALIENABLE rights . Remember the golden rule --- 'do unto others as you would like others do for you' --- (or else!) Don't try to complain about your UN-ALIENABLE RIGHTS --- if you like to think that the 'lesser' critters are here just for food, making a killing from $$$, and to do diabolically retarded experiments on . The alien 'big brothers' were fairly upfront about this sacred agreement to not eat our brethren critters when they warned us through the bible and other channeled messages. of coarse all abrahamic religions --- are basically just sick meat-cults . their illegal alien overlord that goes by many names --- only eats the finest kosher-cannibal meat products he can find . the true benevolent divine intelligent designer may even have mercy on the poor schmucks that got indoctrinated into meat-cults at an early age --- but only if they can understand how sick it is to use other sentient beings as snacks --- just to snare them into becoming devil-food mind-controlled slaves themselves . gotta love watching meat-heads dig themselves their very own barbeque pit ... Or not . Don't try to say no one attempted to give yawl the 'heads-up'. Don't eat yer heart out ! Goddesspeed yawl ! Stick that in yer algorithm and smoke it ...

Thank you 💜

Heh. I got to "write everything" a month and a half ago, started writing a few pages a day and...am still kinda scratching the surface. I'm beginning to wonder if there's enough ink.

@@madwilliamflint I found that talking helps me vent and after about an hour of complaining, making connections to childhood traumas and stuff, my mind comes to solutions to current or old problems. It's like talking to a friend that knows everything but buried stuff suddenly pops up when you don't expect them. And I want to be a publicized writer. But talking just gets my emotions out which I do through writing too but when you talk you can shout and stuff...try it. Like I do it until I literally feel lighter. And like I can go do stuff after. Like I'm ready for it. And a bit tired haha.

@danthehobbyist Hey, I would say that it is. In the beginning, I thought it was a lot of pages and was then surprised how fast I read it, because on some pages, there's just a couple sentences in big font and illustrations for example. It is written and illustrated in exactly the same humorous way as his videos, I enjoyed it very much! Highly recommend! I once gave a book to a friend who didn't read and always read a chapter to them when we were in the car together, so maybe that's an idea as well for a bonding experience.

@danthehobbyist Yeah. I would've finished it in one day if someone didn't come and interrupt my rant. There is writing but not enough to ever get you bored. It's compact information that you understand the first time you read it. And the illustrations are real cool. The worst thing that can happen is they give it a go a bit later after staring at the illustrations and only open it when they're having a hard time. From all the self books and I got a lot...this one is practical and light in reading. Because it's mostly practical. Explaining stuff and showing you stuff that explains it further and sets the mood.

@danthehobbyist That's very true, I'll make sure to leave a review for the book

hows it going so far?

May

🐸🎩🎉

same. Also a same height party. We could combine the two and make it a same height frog hat party

Will there be more than 17 people coming?

@@grkoloratur Yeah, it's gonna be an 18+ party.

"paint cat..." lol

@@dalton-at-work important thing to add to the list 😌😉

how did painting the cat turn out?

I'll definitely give that a try. Thanks for sharing!

Woah what’s the app you use for the delay thing? Sounds super cool.

I feel that. for me it works like that: if i find something intersting i search directly for thewir other projects, podcast, patreon etc. most times that is allready more calming and i really remember what i am learning in those formats. When f.e. in a podcast guests are making intersting points i do not get on their insta but their website or podcast directly, or buy their books. sounds small, but i use social media lessand less to find intersting new ideas and infos ,as my long format consumption covers it pretty well :)

I totally understand what you mean, but a someone who is completely off ig/twitter/TikTok, the people in your lives fill you in and you get to have a more wholesome convo about things bc you didn’t read what a thousand other people thought about it first.

Ain’t missing nuttin on MSM OR SM And ppl will tell u everything, most assuredly N u can say Oh yeah? And move on with ur life, unaffected. Cus #reallife

This is what I want to gain out of this. I have so many, random, unimportant thoughts that I want to get out of my system or share somewhere. But there's only so many reddit posts or blog articles you can write until you just want to get a one-liner or small paragraph out without needing any acknowledgement.

@@merrillgeorge1838 Honestly, I really only use KZfaq if I'm at my desktop, so I hardly use the app anyway. It's a good thing! ☺️

I was only ever on FB and deleted it last Oct Still spend too much time on my phn. YT is my SM now lol I even use Pages quite a bit I’ll try adding the mental check in instead of losing my time in my phn/escaping

Ooh I wanna check that out, thank you!!

What you could do is set an app timer so that you can be aware of how much time you spend on social media
