“I doom-scroll death and tragedy at night and it's hollowing me out.”
Feeding on death through a screen is not the same as facing it — it's a slow erosion that fills the mind with dread while teaching it nothing. Real contemplation of mortality sharpens life; this just dims it. The feed is engineered to hold you in the dread. The hours it's eating are the finite ones you claim to fear losing.
Your Practice
- Name the difference: the scroll is dread for its own sake, not honest reflection.
- Set a hard cutoff. The feed will not stop on its own; you have to.
- Replace ten minutes of scrolling with ten minutes of deliberate memento mori — then act on it.
- Each night, do one thing that affirms life instead of consuming death.
