Scrolling is Draining Your Creative Energy

- 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
Thank you SO MUCHH!!!! So happy you resonate and see this, I hope more people see this and receive this message!!!
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
Thank you so much!! your compliments means a lot, very nice to read that my talking resonates and helps communicate what I'm saying. hope u enjoy my other videos!
I agree
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?
@@tozakfilming Thank you so much, and absolutely go for it I don't mind at all, just happy I can help in any way
Well Worked vedio bro, i really got inspired by this vedio thanks for this kepp it up.
So happy you are inspired, thank you for the words! I will keep it upppp!!!
please make another video going into depth about returning to our senses.. building a habit of being present in the experience of life is difficult lately. i’d like to hear what you have to offer
100% true and accurate, thank you, I had noticed this too, since I am using a smartphone my creativity had diminished. There is something evil an inhuman in technology...
Simply wow. Like my soul really needed to hear that. God bless you.
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.
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 💕
thank you so much for expressing this, it’s so incredible to read before i get ready for sleep. You are incredible and I know you have so so much within you, I feel it. I’m so touched that you take in my videos in that way. You know the way to where you want to be, it’s within you. The best blessings to you. Dream on, shine on. Go enjoy your days and do good things for your dreams, you got this, go show up everyday for yourself
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. 🙏
love it
You've found a way to articulate many of the things that I believe in relation to our phones and social media. I appreciate your videos, please keep them coming!
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.
yes this is the habit most of us are in. and we shouldn't shame ourselves for it because the some of the smartest people in the world are designing this advanced piece of technology that is made to keep us on it and scrolling, we just have to focus on making sure we are in control. thank you for your words! keep dreaming
Today I limited my screentime on insta to 30 min and on yt to 1 hour (cause I still wanna be able to watch helpful videos such as these 😆) and I already feel so much better . Thank you again for this video. @@tozakfilming
Aww!! okay, I kinda figured this could very well be a part of my creative downfall, thank you.
I like your message👍
I also like yours :)
This was so accurate, please do make more videos like this! You remind me of Clark Kegley, you will do amazingly on YT if you stay consistent! Excellent video skills too, look forward to hearing more from you! 😃👏
Wow this means so much! I love Clark Kegley so thats an amazing compliment! I am just getting started with Yt, big things happening right now so I'm taking in the beginning of a long journey!
Love you so much 😭😭
You helped me so much!!!!
YAY!!! LOVE YA! so glad to have helped hehe
wowwww
yayyyyyyyyy
This video was a cold slap of reality for me, and now I know, why I haven’t been very active recently, and why I always look tired, very good and facts, thank you man!
Glad this helps in any way! And yes being tired is def associated with scrolling. Keep your focus strong!
this video called me out and slapped me through the screen but it was just what i needed. so many good, insightful points!! i’ve been feeling disconnected from things lately and now i know why. 😵💫
HAHAHA that is the goal hehe, so happy it connects. Go write that script! I am about to work on mine now
it is absolutely terrifying to know that our minds can think we are actually doing something fulfilling but that very thing were doing is draining the very life out of us. as soon as you mentioned that one minds don't know the difference between looking and doing, shocked me and put fear in me and made me realize that doom scrolling for 16 hours a day has been eating away and wasting a precious life God created to be truthfully fruitful. thank you brother and God bless you.
My instinct told me to spend some time with my friends. Too bad I left my hometown a couple of months ago and scroll through my phone all day.
i love the soft music in the back!
Man, your voice calms every cell of my body!✨️
Keep up with these great videos 💖
Your videos are so capturing ,loving your content
wow thank you so much!! so happy they resonate and work for you, i hope you continue to enjoy the videos i put out (new video today)
I am so thankful for your videos. Your insight is so profound, and extremely empowering. Thank you so much for sharing your gifts and wisdom with us. The Artists' journey is not an easy one, especially in this day and age; but it is so worthwhile. I am so thankful I found your channel, keep up the amazing work!
WOOOOW LOVE IT!! These words mean so much seriously, thank you fro the support, grateful to have you here :)
I mean every one of them!! Keep up the great work, seriously! I can tell you are going to have a huge impact on this world!@@tozakfilming
I found you by scrolling. You caused me to stop scrolling today. Thank you
YAY!!! Meant to happen, thank you for the comment, happy this came to you
I've been thinking about this for a couple of days now, so timely ❤❤ new sub here
YESS!!! thank u for the sub :) happy this came to u in divine timing
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!
Big W
BIG W! Thank ya!
Compared to how many I know are doing... I'm glad I never download tiktok.
yea its easy for many to let it take over them, thats why we gotta be more conscious and guard ourselves
Hi. I am new to your channel. Your “ just write “ video caught my attention . This video nailed it! 🎉 Thank you so much! It makes perfect sense. It reminds me of what I already know. Thanks for the reminder! Like and subscribe. 👍🏻
Wow.. you just confirmed so many things for me in a 4 minute video!!
I'm not good with words, but love you man

I usually find myself mindlessly scrolling for hours,it makes my brain feel foggy after a while,it's almost like it stopped functioning.Thank you for the reminder,your voice is oddly soothing x
you’re GREAT brother, i needed your channel rn
Bring more videos like this and previous one like on writing ✍ btw I subscribed
Thank you so much for this! This means so much !!
Love your videos, just found your channel today and luckily it was just there when I opened CZcams.
I always find myself searching for the “how”…how do I get back to a simpler state, a more creative mind, a more expansive experience, or consistently working on a project.
I think this advice will be extremely helpful as I try to choose something else than my phone.
This was so beautiful! The activities that came to my mind to engage in my creative senses were creating longform videos and cycling. Looking forward to those!
:) Your videos are beautiful! Amazing shots. Really inspiring. Thank you so much gor sharing!
💖😇
Thank you so much for your words!
yes I agree, creating content for me is also very nice and can actually be relaxing, take b roll footage and editing. I would love to get back in biking. Sounds very nice, could feel like im in stranger things haha
YESSSSSS AMAZING
AMAZING SUPPORT YAAAA
i just baked a cake at 11pm and it felt great. hope itll taste as great too lol
Such an important message !!!! Thank you for sharing. And the video is so well edited!
Thank you so much! Thank you for watching hehehe, important message indeeed
Thank you!
Thank you bro for making this video! I'm grateful to watch it today! Make more, please! For the sake of our inner child
so happy to hear this, i will keep making content, I have big plans, and yes all for the sake of the highest growth of ourselves and our souls
Yo - a better title and thumbnail and this video is bound to pop too! This is so so engaging dude, these videos are special, thank you 🫶
thank you so much!!! any ideas? i’m open to change
@@tozakfilming I think the title can stay - but the thumbnail… I’ll see if anything pops into my brain but can’t think of anything rn, just something more catchy and cleaner
I couldn't agree more with this message. Scrolling mindlessly not only drains your creative energy but also steals precious time that could be invested in pursuing your passions and dreams. Let's all take a step back, limit our screen time, and redirect our energy towards something truly fulfilling and creative.
i feel so disconnected from my friends and people my age. i feel like i don’t understand certain references or jokes. how do i keep up w that without scrolling or social media???
i guess it’s about balance right. like u said, it’s not evil. i need to maneuver it to be in my favor
ive needed your videos for a long time. thank you :)
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I've picked up reading more books lately, just like how I did when I was a kid, instead of being on my phone all the time, and tbh, it's helped me more and I genuinely feel more happier and less burned out, and I want to write more. This guy knows what he's talking about fr.
hahaha thank youuu, i loveee reading, it feels incredible when it’s done and in the moment. super healthy for the mind. i think something you can do is, next time you see yourself impulsively reaching for the phone, instead read your book. your mind wants that stimulation and there’s nothing necessarily wrong with that, it’s how we feed our mind that wants to experience.
and then instead of impulsively reaching for phone, you’ll want to impulsively look for ur book
DURING SCROLLING...I FOUND THIS CHANNEL...😂😂😂
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 think the reason we feel like there is no way out or no solution is because we haven't given our bodies proof that there is. But I know by taking little steps and commiting to different actions, we can take our bodies dependence off of these devices and in a more healthy, higher direction
Muito bom! Que tal colocarem legendas em português?
Siimmmm! Em breve! muito obrigado :)
Damn, how old are you???! You fuckin THINK 🤯🤯🤯🤯 🤝🤝🤝 what are thoughts on phone gaming?
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.
@@tozakfilming good shit man!
