00:00:00
this is the only video you need to stop
00:00:01
scrolling unless you live under a rock
00:00:03
you already know how this simple action
00:00:05
is terrible for you you kill your
00:00:07
attention span literally shrinking your
00:00:09
brain and you're also killing yourself
00:00:11
slowly no I'm not even being dramatic
00:00:13
you are getting closer to death with
00:00:15
every second that passes you basically
00:00:17
are a wizard you're a wizard Harry or
00:00:19
have technology better than Elon musk's
00:00:21
because you're time traveling into the
00:00:22
future every time you doom scroll props
00:00:25
to this viewer for their vulnerability
00:00:26
in sharing this wakeup call so you don't
00:00:28
learn the hard way you know how you know
00:00:30
it's really bad when you don't even have
00:00:33
to say my mom was right about that darn
00:00:35
phone because even you know that the
00:00:37
problem is that darn phone and today we
00:00:39
solve that problem ay team it's Amy I
00:00:42
can honestly say that whenever I do have
00:00:44
the misfortune of landing on a short
00:00:46
form page I never scroll for more than
00:00:48
30 seconds because I literally can't
00:00:50
bring myself to that's because of my
00:00:52
mental framework that I go through
00:00:54
subconsciously keep watching to find out
00:00:56
how you can use this mental framework to
00:00:58
stop scrolling whenever want the cool
00:01:00
thing is the more you do it the more you
00:01:03
will rewire your brain and it will
00:01:05
become second nature think about your
00:01:07
best friend you value honesty right so
00:01:10
how would you feel if they lied to you
00:01:12
what if they made a promise to you and
00:01:15
they didn't keep it and they didn't keep
00:01:17
it Time After Time well that wouldn't be
00:01:20
a great foundation for a relationship
00:01:22
right you might feel like you can't do
00:01:24
anything with this person you might not
00:01:25
even be friends with them anymore so to
00:01:27
start ask yourself how much do you value
00:01:30
trust and how do you build trust
00:01:33
remember this it will come in handy for
00:01:35
later you'll see now let's go into the
00:01:37
three chains of thought that will stop
00:01:39
you from scrolling Numero Uno the next
00:01:41
video you scroll onto with a person on
00:01:44
it look at that person what do you know
00:01:46
about them absolutely nothing they're a
00:01:49
complete stranger now imagine yourself
00:01:52
on the street if you've been in the city
00:01:54
a place like New York you might have had
00:01:56
people ask for money every time someone
00:01:59
asks for your money or your attention do
00:02:01
you willingly empty out your pockets for
00:02:03
them do you eagerly offer cash to them
00:02:06
listen unless you're rich no you cannot
00:02:08
give tons of money to everyone you see
00:02:11
on the street you can't pour from an
00:02:13
empty cup but guess what on the internet
00:02:16
you're giving your money to hundreds of
00:02:20
strangers without them even asking no
00:02:22
really so every time you're scrolling
00:02:25
link this visualization that you're on
00:02:27
the streets right now and you're
00:02:28
offering money to every single stranger
00:02:31
that walks by no matter who they are
00:02:33
that's like people you watch on the
00:02:35
internet you have absolutely no
00:02:37
connection to them all they did was post
00:02:39
the video all they did was exist on the
00:02:41
internet and you're like hey you know
00:02:43
what I think you're worth my time not
00:02:45
only do they get add dollars but you are
00:02:47
giving them your precious Focus
00:02:50
attention energy and time which also
00:02:53
translates to money that you could have
00:02:55
earned yourself you are so generous how
00:02:57
are you literally the most generous
00:02:59
person in in the world because you keep
00:03:00
taking money from your own pockets and
00:03:02
putting it in someone else's after you
00:03:04
go through that Chain of Thought say
00:03:06
explicitly in your mind or out loud to
00:03:09
yourself I Promise You Matter more to me
00:03:12
than strangers numero dose imagine your
00:03:15
5-year-old self oh cute little you with
00:03:18
the chubby cheeks and the playful energy
00:03:21
you probably had so many dreams and
00:03:23
aspirations maybe you wanted to become
00:03:24
an astronaut maybe you love doodling and
00:03:26
playing outside and you have a Natural
00:03:28
Curiosity about the world that cute
00:03:30
little kid has their whole life in front
00:03:32
of them isn't that amazing and beautiful
00:03:35
not knowing what life they could have
00:03:38
thinking about the possibilities of what
00:03:40
a little kid can turn into that's why
00:03:43
kids are so precious your 5-year-old
00:03:45
self represents potential time travel in
00:03:48
your mind as if you could speak to your
00:03:51
5-year-old self right now and tell them
00:03:53
tell your younger self I promise to give
00:03:56
you the life you deserve number three as
00:03:59
you're scrolling think about the number
00:04:02
of seconds that pass before you scroll
00:04:05
so maybe you watch 5 Seconds of Tik Tok
00:04:07
and you scroll maybe it's 10 seconds
00:04:09
maybe you watch a whole whopping 30
00:04:12
seconds before your thumb Scrolls feel
00:04:15
how you have something in front of you
00:04:17
and you are swiping it away Time After
00:04:20
Time well those 5 Seconds 10 seconds 30
00:04:23
seconds represent your life literally
00:04:26
feel yourself scrolling your life oh
00:04:29
away you have to form that strong
00:04:32
connection between that video You're
00:04:34
scrolling away and the time in your life
00:04:37
it's like you literally had those 5 10
00:04:40
30 seconds in front of you and you
00:04:42
decided nah I don't like it nah I don't
00:04:44
care if I don't remember anything that
00:04:46
just happened and when that magically
00:04:48
ends up to be 2 to 6 hours of your
00:04:51
screen time per day wow you just really
00:04:54
don't like time don't you you just keep
00:04:56
scrolling it away like it means nothing
00:04:58
we have to stop being numb to the fact
00:05:00
that four 5 hours of screen time per day
00:05:02
translates to losing years of your life
00:05:05
you could have gotten two college
00:05:06
degrees with that time so really link
00:05:09
Doom scrolling to physically swiping
00:05:11
your time away such that it's now lost
00:05:14
in the abyss of the algorithm along with
00:05:17
the black hole of time that was poetic
00:05:21
I'm a poet that's why it's called
00:05:23
mindless scrolling you don't even know
00:05:26
what you're doing to yourself so say to
00:05:28
yourself I promise that your time is
00:05:31
valuable and I will not just scroll It
00:05:33
Away Great woohoo now each time you
00:05:36
start scrolling walk through one of
00:05:38
those three mindsets take yourself
00:05:40
through the whole story and state the
00:05:43
promise to yourself out loud or
00:05:45
explicitly in your mind if you don't
00:05:46
want to be weird in public remember the
00:05:48
best friend thing from earlier well you
00:05:51
are your best friend in the entire world
00:05:55
if no one puts you first you are the one
00:05:57
that puts you first you are the only
00:06:00
person in this world you can control and
00:06:02
that you can 150% rely on if you
00:06:05
complain about friendships or you're
00:06:07
upset that this person let you down
00:06:08
again then ask yourself am I letting
00:06:11
myself down am I really setting a better
00:06:13
example than that friend so after each
00:06:15
promise you make to yourself follow
00:06:17
through on that promise don't make it
00:06:19
just empty words don't lie to yourself
00:06:21
honor your promise like you are your
00:06:23
best friend that's how you build trust
00:06:26
if you can't control yourself to make a
00:06:28
promise to yourself then we got bigger
00:06:30
problems in your phone many videos out
00:06:32
there about cutting social media
00:06:34
addiction talk about actions to do but
00:06:36
come on getting off your phone is an
00:06:38
action in and of itself and if you could
00:06:40
do that then you wouldn't be here having
00:06:42
this problem that's why we want to focus
00:06:44
on the second part of the equation of
00:06:46
ying yang the neglected part which is
00:06:48
the mindset and that's what this video
00:06:50
has helped you with today imagine your
00:06:53
life as an hourglass each piece of sand
00:06:55
is to be valued by spending it on things
00:06:57
that are good for you by consuming
00:06:59
things that give you value you will
00:07:01
greater value the things that benefit
00:07:04
your life in turn cutting your social
00:07:06
media addiction it's a positive
00:07:08
Perpetual cycle that I've leveraged and
00:07:10
that you can too please I am pleading
00:07:13
you I see the potential within you so
00:07:15
please see it yourself value your life
00:07:18
it's the only one you've got you might
00:07:20
as well have the attention span to live
00:07:22
it to the fullest otherwise it's going
00:07:24
to pass by just like that Tik Tok you
00:07:27
just scrolled by
