Doom Scrolling!

Please Don’t Doom Scroll by 😂 I’ve Got a Few Things to Share With Ya 🙉

Today I’m off work

And I needed to do a quick blast of cleaning before I went on my walk and grab a cuppa and much needed catch up with friends ms

Today I had music blaring which got me in the mood so I got it done!

It felt good and it gave me a burst of dopamine that my Brain spends most it’s time looking for!

However many days I could be completing these tasks with nervous energy and zero dopamine fix .

I could be rattling around with a sense of impending doom if I don’t get it done. In times like these I find it hard to stay focused and get upset (usually around my period)

And other days I literally think “ah fuck it “ and “doom scroll”.

I also have times I think “ah fuck it” and watch a programme I’ve watched on repeat a million times that brings me nostalgia and then other times I journal or go out and have fun.

For me the doom scroll is bringing me some form of awareness.

I’m usually knackered , done too much stuff or trying to avoid completing something I have enough to time to complete until I have literally almost no time left to complete it - this is usually something like my accounts or admin - because I don’t get hardly any pleasure from doing the task until I have only enough time to hyper focus and often surprise myself ( which creates dopamine)

Sometimes my doom scrolling is just for sheer pleasure and entertainment ! And once I’ve had enough I am will emerge in nature and go walking or for me work x

It’s helps to ease off these holier than thou perceptions that’s been ingrained into my consciousness that being the multitasking superwoman who makes no mistakes is not who I am or who I long to become !

I love being in nature as you may know! But I also live to be at home and doom scroll.

So my message is ease off , doom scrolling like anything had its pros and cons - the lesson is being aware of this and taking the action that’s required in that moment ( again this takes practice ).

Word to ya mutha ✌🏻


Huge love
