Hi there,

In our last lesson, we talked about the “stop” technique,

a powerful strategy that will help you quickly break

the habit of perpetual doom scrolling.

In today's lesson, we’ll look at replacing that habit

with something else that adds value to your life.

Before we get to that, the truth is that sometimes

we end up doomscrolling just to pass the

time. Quite simply, we're bored and we feel the

need to fill that time with mindless scrolling.

Instead, try to replace that habit with something

more positive, and beneficial to your life.

If you can start replacing your bad habit or

doomscrolling with something that leaves you feeling

creatively stimulated, you'll improve the quality

of your life quickly, while being able to get

away from wasting so much time consuming negative

news and information.

Need some help with this?

Here are some positive habits you can replace your

doom scrolling time with. Not only will you

improve your life, but you'll be surprised at

how much extra time you actually have to dedicate

to things that fuel your body, mind and soul:

• Start reading a book you always wanted to read

• Call a friend and set up a Skype or Zoom meeting

• Learn to crochet or knit

• Paint or draw some art

• Get some exercise

• Meditate or practice your yoga

• Learn a new language

• Play a board game

• Work a puzzle—either jigsaw or crossword

• Listen to an audio book

• Start a blog

• Take some interesting photographs

• Take a hike

• Attend a virtual class

• Take a drive

It’s not enough just to stop doomscrolling. You need

to replace that time with a healthy habit so

you don’t turn back to the negative cycle.

If you find something else to do, you’re far less

likely to turn to your old bad habit and far more

likely to actually change your lifestyle for the

better.

Tomorrow we’ll talk about where to go online instead

of doomscrolling.
