Are you doomscrolling yourself into paralysis?

Let's be real: most of us open our phones to "check one thing" and end up scrolling through 45 minutes of war, climate doom, outrage bait, and hot takes. You might laugh, you might cry—but you feel worse.

Welcome to doomscrolling. And yes, it's by design.
"Social media algorithms aim to keep you hooked, and intense emotions—like fear or frustration—tend to do that well. That's why your feed always seems to tilt toward chaos. But here's the twist: you have control, and you don't need to delete the apps to reclaim it.

This hilarious (but painfully accurate) reel from HINESight Entertainment opens with a fainting goat—yep, that's how doomscrolling feels. However, it then provides a quick guide on how to clean up your feed.

✅ Unfollow accounts that make you feel drained
✅ Follow things that make you feel good
✅ Use "Not Interested" or "Refresh Feed" options on apps
✅ Rebuild your digital experience one intentional click at a time

Don't let a machine script your Monday. You're not a goat. Choose what you feed your brain.
