  • Here's why I believe scrolling is draining your creative energy. It's all about sense stimulation. I want you to think about how scrolling could be tricking your senses into thinking there's no reason to create...

    This is so important. Nowadays I feel so drained and when I sit down to reflect about it I realize that it is due to the time I spend on my phone. Thank u for reminding me to go back to my senses. We need more videos to spread this message. HEHEHBEHBFOHBFPISBC

    You have a great instinctive slightly hypnotic way of talking. it's really mature and non irritating, which puts me off so many youtubers no matter how important their message is. Talking, conversation, it's an art, and it's not easy to be good at it. you're persuasive and compelling and that really helps, keep on keepin on

    This is the first comment I've made on a CZcams video in years simply due to the fact that not many videos made me feel anything, but your video made me feel something other than dullness. I've actually been going through a creative slump for the past 6 months ( crazy now that I think about how long it's been ) and you've given me the push to actually get back into making music and art
    Thank you for this amazing video ❤️

      Wow what an amazing comment, the best one I’ve ever received. You have no idea how much it means to read this. Makes the whole video worth doing for me. I am so happy this video resonates like it does for you and I hope you find success very soon with your creativity. The biggest thing I’ll say about creativity is in your control. It’s kind of like luck. Yes some ideas feel like they come by chance but we have the power to do things that will promote the greatest potential to come out of us. I wish you the best! And would u mind if I end up using this comment for a piece of content somehow?

    Your video helps, I definitely feel like I need a change and even though change is constant to the smallest of things it’s so hard to conscious change something and it’s scary sometimes and really overwhelming. I’m still young and have so much potential but I don’t wanna look back at my childhood and just remember scrolling through other peoples lives. The past week when I got overwhelmed in my house or upset with my family I ended up just going on a walk outside for an hour or so and it really helped. Even just sitting by a pool nearby being outside helped a lot (I was actually listening to one of your videos for a bit.). I recorded myself just ranting and talking about things that came to mind I was anxious I’d look like a weirdo but I’m still happy I did it and it’s not their business anyways and your videos kinda helped me to record, get out there, and just try to conduct change to improve.

    • @x_ponderer_x
      @x_ponderer_x Před 8 měsíci +1

      I have over 100 things I want to make and create and an art business I wanna start now but I need to change in some way. When I write these down or a to-do list that is pages long it gets kinda overwhelming and discouraging. Tomorrow I’m gonna do things differently, small things, but a change that I created. I’m gonna try to wake up early, write for 15+ minutes (about what’s on my mind, todays plan, gratitude letters, dreams/goals, anything like that to awaken my mind - something I like to start the day), make my bed, have a snack or even breakfast, brush my teeth, take a different route to my bus stop. I wanna heal, and get out of burnout, I don’t wanna lose passion and be depressed. Thanks for your videos, they help me feel inspired to stay motivated and reminded that improvement is hard but needed and it can start in the small things like taking in silence and feeling your sense. Thank you even if you don’t see this 💕

    Today I actually thought about coloring in an old coloring book though I didn't! Scrolling sometimes makes me compare myself to artist that can create so much. Your videos are gold 🙏 and i agree with you. Tomorrow im going to get inspired by simply coloring and letting myself / my inner child just have fun with it. 🙏🦋 and thank you. 🙏

    This video was sooo helpfull. Summer break has ended an school has started again, and I immediatly noticed this shift in my creative energy ( or just my enery and mood overall). I have been wondering why that happend and I think I finally know why. Now that school has started and homework has been piling up again I have been procrastinating more >> spending more time on my phone. I feel great when I'm at school with my friends, I feel motivated. But once I come home I sit on my bed, mindlessly scrolling on insta, yt etc. And when I do finally get of my phone all my motivation and even part of my happiness is just gone and I'm left feeling drained. Thank you sooo much for this video.

    • @tozakfilming

    i found your channel through your journaling video and 2:58 of this video stood out to me as a similar philosophy to the morning writing. i really like the idea of approaching our personal needs in such an intuitive way and i’d love to learn to trust my own mind more because, you're right - my unconscious mind understand my needs better than i give myself credit for. it’s easy for me to say “i don’t know what i need!” but you were absolutely right that i did think of a specific activity as soon as you brought it up. thank you for making me more aware of this kind of thinking. definitely going to try the morning journaling and looking out for these unconscious needs my brain signals to me. i’d love to get more in touch with it and start trusting myself more!

    But what is the solution to it? It does look like I can't stop, even if I have acknowledged myself that it is slowly draining me, day by day. Maybe because I am looking for something to replace the emptiness there is in my life. I go whenever I can to take a swim in the sea (I live 20mins by it) and try to stay outside as much as possible, but that doesn't always help.
    Anyway thanks for the video, it was surely helpful.

      I don’t phone game but I will say you know deep down whether your habit of something is too much. The principle of temperance/moderation/balance applies to virtually all things. Like I said, technology is not evil. It’s how we use it. So someone who is phone gaming too much or in a way that is draining them energetically will know truly, even if the answers is not what they want to hear.
