Stop The Scroll.

Stop The Scroll. 

Yes, you. But also, this is really just for me. 

On June 1st, I stopped scrolling. Bye-bye, endless hours of doom and gloom thumb workouts and brain checkouts. But, wait a sec, doom and gloom? Nope. Not my IG feed, at least, which was my preferred dopamine mine. 

See, I got to watch baby animals being born, cute little home farmstand pop-ups succeeding, crochet frog couples doing cozy, heart-warming activities, see ridiculously cool and amazing art, and I was trapped in a fish wife’s jar with my fellow fairies, where we pretty much all succumbed to Stockholm Syndrome with glee! 

Doesn’t that sound nice? 😂 Getting to be immediately immersed in the creativity and joy and daily worlds of so many strangers across the globe is, I believe, a phenomenon that can be quite beautiful and enjoyable. And not only is this a very cool privilege of a very modern world, but I would also tell myself constantly that I was using this magical access point to help me decompress. To laugh ridiculously sometimes. To be entertained. To not have to think much. 

And while that last statement is pretty point-blank, that point sometimes needs to be mulled over with more intent.

Why are we so okay with zoning out these days? Purposefully excluding times when we’re going through something so deep or intense that for all means we have every right and reason to try and shut down from it when given the chance, or ‘escape’ to these hundreds of thousands of portals of other people’s realities to see, feel, experience, anything else, but in most cases, and at the very least, in my own experience, we have begun to numb as almost nothing more than a habit. 

One that we’re indeed addicted to. 

I mean, there is study after study available on how social media is a very real physiological and mental addiction, and more insidiously, it is purposefully crafted that way. And you know what? Maybe that’s not so ‘wrong’ after all. Maybe we just need to truly understand that these apps and platforms we’re on are a business. They have every right in effect to get us to stay on them for as long as they possibly can. Of course, they’d want that. 

I feel ever since My Clear and Free Sovereign Mind got anchored in, and soon after, when I received the wisdom for Data Packets and Downloads(more info coming this month), I was able to see just how deeply that addiction ran. I could feel how my mind and energy were being pulled into these places, and the ‘just one more’ addictive tendencies I used to have around cigarettes would be at play for just one more reel, which often turned into just one more hour, far too often. 

And just to be clear, I’m not knocking social media and the sheer power and beauty of the connectivity that it offers us on this expansive globe. What I am personally committing to, and what I truly feel will be more and more important to honor Source, the Pure Earth, and our True Selves in these coming times, is to be 100% in control of how and when we choose that connection. 

The Harmonic Energies of our times are increasing at a rapid rate. And we’re all being asked to Tune In. To go within. To be able to feel, know, see, and act from our own free will, undiluted and unpolluted beings.

We can’t do that when we actively tune into thousands of random energies throughout the day, and I know for sure I’m not my purest, strongest channel when I am allowing my frequency to get lost in the doom-scroll. 

And so I stopped. Maybe you want to, too. 

Always With Love,
