"Consuming content IS NOT rest - Don’t substitute scrolling, watching videos, or listening to podcasts for rest. Passive consumption is not rest. Rest through REAL forms of rest."
This part really resonated with me! Would you consider diving into real forms of rest vs. passive consumption?
Yes! I actually had that in and took it out for length. Rest: nap or lay down with eyes closed, quiet time, windows of low stimulation (like screen free time), time in nature, slow mindful walk with no headphones, breathing fresh air, going to bed early, waking up slowly without devices for first hour, 15 mins of sunlight
A timely and well written reminder - thank you! I have often thought of my social media consumption as being similar to eating junk food.
Repeatedly doing something that you know is harming you yet not being able to stop is the very definition of addiction. Social media is just a very widespread and socially acceptable one. These apps have been designed to exploit how our brains work in order to keep us scrolling, at great personal cost to us. Now more than ever we need to reclaim our energy, our time and our creativity.

Such a great reminder! And actually attainable tips—thank you! I loved the “if you see them in person, would you stop and say hi? If not unfollow.”
