End Doomscrolling Now

We've all been there - scrolling and scrolling to no end. It's easy to start and hard to stop. Here are some resources to help you reduce or remove screen time.

Apps

Insight Timer - Meditation Timer and Guided Meditation Talks

Brick App - Temporarily block distractions

IRL Tools

Go to coffee shops, farmers markets or other "soft social" places to help you bask in the light of life. 

Go for a walk! Schedule a daily or weekly time where you leave your phone at home and go for a quick walk.

Journal before bed! Instead of scrolling before sleep, write about your day or write about your plans for the next day.
