Podcasts about doomscrolling

You can feel heartbroken by the news and still never do anything about it.Catastrophizing. Doomscrolling. Compassion fatigue. Comfort-zone syndrome. We have a dozen ways to feel deeply about suffering in the world — and still keep it at arm's length. This week kicks off a new series through the Old Testament book of Nehemiah, and it starts in an unexpected place: not with a plan, but with a broken heart.Nehemiah had comfort, access, and success. He also had a choice: stay safe, or let someone else's pain interrupt his life. Before he ever picked up a hammer to rebuild a wall, he wept, fasted, and prayed.In this message, we talk about:Why proximity changes compassion from a feeling into an actionThe four foundations of biblical compassion — starting with turning to God, not trying to fix, avoid, or numb what hurtsWhy the greatest test of compassion isn't when we're hurting, but when we're comfortable and someone else isKicking off a 7-week series on the character God is shaping in us — starting with Compassion.Scripture referenced: Nehemiah 1:1–11 · Matthew 9:36 · Isaiah 49:15 · 1 John 1:9#Nehemiah #Compassion #SermonSeriesFor the full gathering of this message which includes worship, visit our Youtube channel. Stay Connected With Hillside Community Church.Youtube | https://www.youtube.com/c/HillsideCommunityChurchInstagram | https://www.instagram.com/hillsidechurches/Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/hillsidechurchesWebsite | https://hillsidechurches.com

The shofar is more than a sound—it is Hashem's spiritual alarm clock. As we enter Shabbos Shuvah and the Aseres Yemei Teshuvah, the Rambam confronts us with a life-changing question: Are we truly awake, or are we sleepwalking through life while calling it normal?In this motivational Parshas Haazinu episode, we explore the Rambam's famous words in Hilchos Teshuvah: “Awaken, sleepers, from your sleep!” The message follows a clear path: wake up, examine your actions, return through teshuvah, and remember your Creator.We also discuss:The difference between ordinary spiritual sleep and deep spiritual unconsciousnessWhat it means to forget the truth through the distractions of everyday lifeHow doomscrolling, binge-watching, and empty habits quietly consume our precious timeWhy Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur should inspire urgency—not gloomHow Shabbos Shuvah can awaken us and transform the coming yearPractical questions for an honest cheshbon hanefeshThe Aseres Yemei Teshuvah are not meant to be one long, tense, gray season. They are an opportunity to become alert, honest, and alive—to stop wasting the life Hashem gave us and begin using it with purpose.Listen, reflect, and ask yourself: What is one habit you are ready to stop hitting snooze on?If this episode inspires you, please subscribe, share it with someone who needs a wake-up call, and leave a review.Support the showJoin The Motivation Congregation WhatsApp community for daily motivational Torah content!------------------Check out our other Torah Podcasts and content!SUBSCRIBE to The Motivation Congregation Podcast for daily motivational Mussar!Listen on Spotify or 24six!Find all Torah talks and listen to featured episodes on our website, themotivationcongregation.orgQuestions or Comments?

Two Dharma friends, Cheryl and Angela, sit down to unpack everything their March meditation retreat with Ajahn Jayasaro taught them — and it wasn't the peaceful escape either of them expected.In this honest episode of the Handful of Leaves podcast, they talk through work burnout, losing parents to cancer, the "I'm not good enough" loop that followed them onto the cushion, and why chasing a peaceful feeling in meditation can actually work against you. They unpack Ajahn Jayasaro's teachings on contentment, patience (Khanti), comparison, identity, and what it really means to sit with difficult emotions instead of rushing past them.If you've ever felt burnt out, doubted whether you're "enough," or struggled with restlessness in meditation, this conversation is for you.In this episode:- Why meditation is about learning to observe, not chasing peace- How to work with burnout, doomscrolling, and restless thinking as habits, not character flaws- Sitting with grief and catching the stories the mind repeats- Ajahn Jayasaro's teaching: "We are a function of who we compare ourselves to"- Why patience (Khanti) is called the incinerator of the defilements- Letting go of identity and achievement to become "nobody" — and why that's freeingAbout the Teacher

Watch it here: https://youtu.be/QoL2XHfqq7IIn Episode 276 of the Further Your Lifestyle podcast, host Chris reflects on how attention is being demanded more than ever, leading to doomscrolling and shorter attention spans, and asks listeners to consider where they are spending their time. He encourages checking screen-time data on phones and other devices to see what is consuming the most attention, noting it can be confronting even with business-related usage. Drawing from conversations outside his usual network and his own hours spent streaming eBay Live, he questions where that time would have gone a year ago and highlights how easily apps like Instagram can distract from intended tasks. Chris urges listeners to be mindful of what they let into their minds, protect their attention, and prioritize productive inputs for growth.00:00 Welcome Back Intro00:12 Attention Economy Problem02:02 Check Your Screen Time03:11 Real World Attention Shifts04:26 Streaming Hours Example05:30 Doomscrolling Trap06:07 Protect Your Mind07:04 Wrap Up And Call To ActionPodcast Sponsors:Robert PiperHi Voltage BargainsEthan “Rooshock” The BOLO Hunter PODCAST: https://www.furtheryourlifestyle.com/► SUBSCRIBE to the podcast on▹ Spotify | https://bit.ly/FYL_Spotify▹ Apple Podcast | https://bit.ly/FYL_Apple▹ Google Podcast | https://bit.ly/FYL_GooglePod► Let's CONNECT on social media:▹ instagram | http://www.instagram.com/furtheryourlifestyle▹ email | hello@furtheryourlifestyle.comMUSIC:» via https://www.epidemicsound.com/referral/6hfvrvContinue the conversation:  @furtheryourlifestyleJoin the Newsletter: check it out

In this repeat episode we're talking about doom scrolling — why we do it, why our kids do it, and how it can quietly become the way we mute feelings we don't want to deal with. Scrolling can make you feel everything, or it can make you feel nothing at all. Either way, it pulls you out of your own life without you even noticing. At some point, your kids will need to study or focus without you taking the phone away from them, and understanding their doom-scrolling habits is important for both you and them. Hosted on Acast.

Tony Gaskins Exposes Fake Faith, Toxic Relationship Advice & Ppl Using God For ProfitTony Gaskins joins Ash Cash for one of the most unfiltered conversations yet inside the vault—on relationships, faith, integrity, purpose, money, and the danger of giving advice from a place you have not healed from.Tony opens up about his transformation from the streets to marriage, business, authorship, coaching, and building more than 100 income streams. He explains why he credits his wife with helping save his life, how accountability changed him, and why stronger relationships can also create stronger financial outcomes.The conversation then gets controversial.Tony argues that social media has given broken and unhealed people microphones—and that relationship advice rooted in pain can drive men and women further apart.He also speaks directly about people using God as a business model, false teachers, spiritual manipulation, and why invoking faith for profit without integrity is dangerous.Tony reflects on his disagreement with Kevin Samuels, the responsibility that comes with influencing millions, and why he believes your private life eventually catches up with your public image.He also breaks down how he monetized his gifts across books, courses, apps, products, insurance, and other businesses; why speed matters in entrepreneurship; and how he built longevity through consistency instead of chasing virality.Later, Ash and Tony discuss fake expertise, people teaching before they have actually mastered what they teach, the value of transparency, and why Tony refuses to call himself an “expert” or “guru.”The episode closes with Tony's newest mission: The Destiny App, The Purpose Arc, living your God-given purpose, and why purpose and abundance belong together.Connect with Tony Gaskins:YouTube & Instagram: Tony GaskinsTheDestinyApp.comThePurposeArc.comConnect with Inside the Vault:Instagram: @insidethevaultInsideTheVaultShow.comHosted by Ash Cash:Instagram: @iamashcashIAmAshCash.comABUNDANCE IS YOUR BIRTHRIGHT.Join Ash Cash and a community focused on building wealth, increasing income, strengthening your mindset, and creating a more abundant life:TheAbundanceCommunity.comEPISODE TIMESTAMPS00:00 – Stronger relationships can help you make more money02:26 – Welcome to Inside the Vault03:59 – Meet Tony Gaskins05:15 – From football scholarship to the streets06:12 – “I refuse to be with a drug dealer”07:27 – The moment Tony chose his family08:14 – Growing up in a strict pastor's home11:26 – Turning street ambition into purpose12:44 – “Without my wife, I'd be in prison or the grave”14:17 – Why men respect accountability15:45 – Tony on today's relationship landscape16:05 – “Every broken person has a microphone”18:02 – Taking advice from people without experience20:40 – “We are the fix”20:53 – Why marriage and money belong in the same conversation25:55 – Sexual discipline, creativity & business28:03 – Writing and publishing a book in two days with AI29:45 – The speed of the market29:54 – Put your gift in every medium30:46 – Tony's 100+ streams of income33:54 – The secret to staying relevant for decades33:59 – “I live my life in the dark the way I live it in the light”35:00 – Reaching 20M people a week but making less money39:10 – Are people using God as a business model?41:08 – Tony's warning about playing with the name of God42:13 – Tony reflects on Kevin Samuels44:20 – Fake faith, conferences & podcasts45:14 – Using God to get people to open their wallets45:37 – False teachers and spiritual manipulation46:17 – When is someone qualified to teach?50:32 – “As you learn, you should teach”51:02 – Why Tony won't call himself an expert or guru51:45 – Integrity always catches up with you52:22 – Tony admits where he had to get his finances right54:33 – The Destiny App56:00 – The Purpose Arc57:25 – Taking the Purpose Summit around the world58:15 – Pivoting from relationships into God-given purpose58:36 – Ash Cash on “Abundance Is Your Birthright”1:00:40 – Purpose, mindset & claiming your birthright1:01:01 – Doomscrolling is stealing your abundance1:03:10 – Tony's final message: step into your purpose1:04:22 – How to connect with Tony Gaskins1:06:58 – Closing the VaultAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Last week, Dolly Parton died. A glacier collapse triggered catastrophic flooding in Nepal. An Ebola outbreak became the deadliest in the Democratic Republic of Congo's history. If you've felt oddly numb to some of the news and unexpectedly gutted by other parts of it, this solo episode is for you.In this episode, host Elizabeth Mintun explores why grief tends to land unevenly - why a celebrity we never met can hit harder than a mass tragedy overseas - and what that says about the nervous system. In this exploration, Elizabeth incorporates nervous system science, Five Elements theory of ancient Chinese medicine, and our connection to the natural world. She offers an invitation to choose, on purpose, where your attention and grief go… Instead of letting an algorithm decide for you.Key Takeaways:Why parasocial grief is real grief. The neuroscience behind mourning someone you've never met. Empathy overload and grief numbing. Why your nervous system "dims the switch" on tragedies at scale. The doomscroll loop. How unresolved sympathetic activation from news consumption tends to accumulate in the body as anxiety and numbness simultaneously. Reframing self-care as self-discovery. How to use what hits you hardest as information about what you value, rather than something to just numb or push away.

In this episode of LME Doomscrolling, 9fin's senior LME lawyer Laurie Tomassian welcomes Bill Derrough, Managing Director and Chairman of the Capital Structure Solutions group at Jefferies.Bill has over three decades of restructuring experience, with a roster of over 600 restructurings completed. What sets his deals apart is a track record of high creditor participation. Over his career, his deals have garnered on average 94% of creditors' support.He brings a new lens to the LME debate, offering a way to use sticks and carrots to get a consensual outcome, not to fuel continued creditor-on-creditor violence. In this episode he walks us through how he avoids the LME pitfalls of what he calls “bad investment banking” that lead to short-term liquidity solutions while creating diminished long-term recoveries. Bill and Laurie speak about how the prevalence of repeat restructurings has impacted creditor behavior and walk through some success stories that have created what Bill likes to call “durable” solutions.Have any feedback for us?

In today's episode, Gina concludes her series on Claire Weekes' anxiety clearing process with reflections on what Dr. Weekes may have thought about the role of social media for people suffering with anxiety. The internet has held many benefits for people with anxiety, including learning about others who have a similar experience and how to remedy these aversive symptoms. It is quite clear the internet and social media can exacerbate anxiety substantially, as well. Listen in for advice on how to take the good and leave the bad with the internet and social media, as well as thoughts on what Claire Weekes might say about our situation today.Stillpoint Fridays is my once-a-week Friday note — a slower, more personal reflection that's different from what I share on the podcast.If you'd like a quiet place to land as the week winds down, you can join here: http://eepurl.com/bR2F9P or on our website anxietycoachespodcast.com and sign up for the newsletter.Please visit our Sponsor Page to find all the links and codes for our awesome sponsors! https://www.theanxietycoachespodcast.com/sponsors/Website https://www.theanxietycoachespodcast.comJoin our community Group Coaching Join our Group Coaching Full or Mini Membership Program1:1 Coaching Learn more about our One-on-One CoachingIf you prefer to listen AD-FREE, try our Supercast premium access membership:Learn more about anxiety What is anxiety?Free Guided Meditation for Calming Your Anxious Mind 10-Minute Body-Scan Meditation for AnxietyQuote:Let time pass.-Claire WeekesChapters0:27 Final Claire Weeks Insights2:35 Social Media and Anxiety6:27 Comparing Recoveries Online10:02 Doomscrolling and Symptom Checks11:59 Recovery Influencers Trap15:10 Back to Simplicity18:34 Don't Perform Recovery20:16 Recovery Means LivingSummaryIn this final episode of the 12-part Claire Weeks series, we revisit her ideas through a modern lens and define her term “nervous fatigue” as the exhaustion that comes from prolonged fear and tension. We also reflect on how her approach would apply to today's online anxiety culture, while noting that this is speculative.We discuss how the internet can be helpful for people with anxiety by reducing shame, offering community, and pointing listeners to useful resources. At the same time, we consider how searching, scrolling, and constant reassurance-seeking can become part of the anxiety cycle by teaching the brain that discomfort must be answered immediately.We look at how comparing our recovery to other people's online stories can create pressure and a sense of falling behind. We also talk about doom scrolling, symptom videos, and recovery accounts, and how repeated attention to symptoms and danger can intensify fear and keep the nervous system on alert.The episode closes by reviewing the main ideas from the series: sensitized nerves, first fear and second fear, acceptance, floating, letting time pass, and reducing symptom monitoring and reassurance seeking. The central message is to simplify, return attention to ordinary life, and avoid turning recovery into another performance.#Anxiety #AnxietyRecovery #ClaireWeeks #DrClaireWeeks #MentalHealth #AnxietyRelief #PanicAttacks #NervousFatigue #Burnout #StressRelief #HealthAnxiety #OvercomingAnxiety #Mindfulness #MentalHealthAwareness #SocialMediaDetox #Doomscrolling #InnerPeace #SelfCare #MentalWellness #SelfHealing #AnxietySupport #NervousSystem #AnxietyManagement #StressManagement #AnxietyCoachesPodcast #GinaRyan #Aloha #HealingJourney #MentalHealthMatters #FindYourCalm #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Being online is probably good for your DJ career. It also takes something, and nobody talks about that part.We are back from the summer break with Ralph from Bassjackers and Jay Hardway. Jay banned himself from doomscrolling four days before recording.

Trade Up Your Media: Stop Infotainment & Read for Real ChangeThe speaker discusses feeling unsatisfied by scrolling and "infotainment," which blurs information and entertainment and scatters attention with addictive but unfulfilling content. They propose a "trading up" process: choosing higher-quality media and, when possible, moving from digital to physical formats (e.g., newsletter to book, YouTube video to film or documentary, lower-quality authors to higher-quality ones) to be more engaged rather than passive. They argue that despite easy access to great minds like Einstein and Seneca, shared enlightenment is limited because consumption doesn't translate into transformation. Citing Tim Ferriss on declining book sales since ChatGPT and Derek Sivers on life-changing sentences found deep in books, they emphasize that real change requires focus, effort, and presence, and note that reading physical material reduces the willpower drain of digital distractions.00:00 Doomscrolling Dissatisfaction01:10 Infotainment and Attention01:36 Trading Up Your Media02:32 From Information to Transformation02:56 AI and the Collapsing Info Market03:35 Life Changing Ideas Need Depth04:10 Printing Podcasts to Focus04:33 Physical vs Digital Reading05:28 Choose Better Inputs#DeepWork #Focus #MediaDiet

Have you ever had a moment so small (a bird, of all things) crack open something so much bigger about how you're living your life?This week's episode is part of my summer series where I'm reading personal essays straight from my Substack. This one's about a very ornery bird I met on a hike in Patagonia, the bird I accidentally trapped in my bedroom when I was 10 (yes, really), and how a string of small, strange bird encounters slowly nudged me toward paying more attention to the world right in front of me.If you've been feeling stuck in your phone, disconnected from your neighborhood, or like you're moving through life without really noticing it, this one's for you. It's not really about birds. It's about presence.In this episode, you'll hear…The story of the bird who followed me on a brutal hike through the Andean Mountains and seemed to be personally attacking my confidenceWhat happened when I accidentally let a bird into my childhood bedroom (and what I found six months later)Why standing somewhere as vast as Patagonia has a way of putting your entire life in perspectiveHow coming home to Long Island turned into an unexpected obsession with birdwatchingWhat robins, swans, and bald eagles taught me about noticing the seasons changing, even when I couldn't feel it yetWhy paying attention to the small, local, unglamorous things is what's actually helped me feel rooted and connected, more than anything online ever hasClick here to find the full show notes and transcript for this episode.EPISODE RESOURCES:Subscribe to Sam's SubstackRead today's essay How being attacked by a bird in Patagonia forced me offlineGet Sam's weekly newsletter, Sam's SidebarIf you have a question you'd like Sam to answer on a future podcast episode, you can submit it here.Click here to be notified when new episodes of On Your Terms® come outCONNECT:Get Sam's weekly newsletter, Sam's SidebarFollow Sam on InstagramFollow Sam on YouTubeSubscribe to Sam's SubstackTake Sam's free legal workshop "5 Steps to Legally Protect & Grow Your Online Business"DISCLAIMER

Send us Fan MailStudent ministry has always adapted to changing culture.The message never changes.Sometimes the methods need to.In this episode, Zac Workun and Chad Higgins ask an important question:Today's students aren't disengaged...they're simply communicating the way they've been formed to communicate.From AIM away messages and Facebook walls to Snapchat, group chats, Twitch streams, and endless scrolling, every generation learns differently because every generation communicates differently. That reality matters when we gather students into circles and ask them to process the deepest questions of life in real time.Rather than criticizing technology, Zac and Chad explore what youth pastors can learn from it.You'll hear practical ideas for creating healthier discussions, reducing unnecessary social pressure, helping students observe Scripture before performing knowledge, and equipping small group leaders to become guides instead of answer dispensers.The conversation also explores why Twitch and creator culture may actually reveal something hopeful: students still want to learn—they often learn first by watching trusted people model wisdom before stepping into it themselves. That's why one of the greatest opportunities in youth ministry today is inviting students to move beyond consuming content toward creating, teaching, serving, and leading within the life of the church.If you're leading teenagers today, this episode will help you think more carefully about attention, communication, discipleship, and what faithful ministry looks like in a digital age.Episode HighlightsWhy today's communication habits matter for discipleshipThe hidden social pressure inside traditional small groupsAsynchronous communication and why students hesitate to answerPractical discussion techniques that increase participationObservation-first Bible studyWhy co-leaders model wisdom better than lecturesWhat streamer culture teaches us about learningDeveloping student leaders instead of passive spectatorsDiscussion QuestionsHow has technology changed the way your students communicate?What parts of your small group environment create unnecessary pressure?How could you help students ask better questions instead of only giving answers?Where could students move from observing ministry to actually leading it?If this episode encouraged you, subscribe, leave a review, and share it with another youth pastor or volunteer. Every share helps more ministry leaders find practical, Gospel-centered encouragement for leading the next generation.Support the showJoin the community!

AI can write the essay, calculate the answer, summarize the book, and solve the problem before you have really had to think. Jim Kwik's concern is not just cognitive offloading. It's cognitive surrender. After 34 years teaching people how to learn, remember, read, and focus, he believes the real risk of AI is that technology starts doing so much of the mental work that we stop building the abilities we need most. In this episode, Louisa sits down with Jim to unpack what happens when we outsource memory, judgment, creativity, and critical thinking. He explains why learning requires effort, why the brain follows a "use it or lose it" principle, and what research comparing students using ChatGPT, search engines, or no assistance suggests about cognitive engagement and recall. They also explore cognitive reserve, metacognition, attention, reading, sleep, and why doing difficult things may be one of the best ways to protect the brain. Jim also shares the brain injury that shaped his life, the period when severe sleep apnea left him sleeping around 90 minutes a night, and the habits he now uses to protect his cognition. You'll hear why he says "mind before media," why reading is exercise for the brain, and how to use AI as augmented intelligence without giving up your own. The goal isn't to reject technology. It's to stay the pilot of your brain, not the passenger.

Doomscrolling: The Flattened Schizophrenic Matrix Niles Heckman Download Doomscrolling is the act of spending an excessive amount of time on digital content that elicits negative emotion and it is metaphysically grotesque. One can take the most extraordinary instrument ever devised for the circulation of human thought, and reduce it to a slot machine for anxiety.This “flattened schizophrenic scroll matrix” highlights that the problem isn't simply that you're looking at too much information but that the information has been stripped of scale, context, sequence, and consequence. Headlines, gossip, scandals, recipes, culinary photos, so so memes, lukewarm jokes, arguments between strangers - hundreds of realities without inhabiting any of them. All of which arrive through essentially the same little rectangular aperture. And then you scroll it.

Friday, July 31. The seven stories you need to know today. Read today's briefing.

We have all had those nights where we lie in bed, exhausted, yet we cannot stop scrolling through a relentless stream of negative news on our phones. We often feel guilty about this, thinking we just lack willpower, but the truth is that doomscrolling is not a moral failing—it is a biological trap. In this episode, we are going to explore the evolutionary psychology behind why our brains crave bad news, and more importantly, how to break the trance so you can reclaim your attention and protect your inner peace. New Episode of the Happiness Podcast with Dr. Robert Puff, Ph.D., Newport Beach Psychologist

How does God intend for us to deal with tragedy in the news? Pastor John offers six reasons why suffering should drive us to repentance and action.

Lizzy thinks she should tell her boss and try to avoid any problems, Ian says don't say anything, they've all grown. What would you do? Siobhan has a chance to win $900!

By itself, "watching one more" episode or scrolling through social media isn't an issue. But if you're using screens to escape your own intrusive thoughts, anxiety, or uncomfortable feelings, that might be a classic OCD safety behavior. The relief feels real — but only until the screen turns off and OCD comes rushing back. In this video, Dr. Patrick McGrath explains how binge-watching and doomscrolling can become compulsive avoidance, and how to recognize when screens are helping you relax versus helping OCD stay in control.At NOCD, we specialize in exposure and response prevention (ERP) therapy, the most effective treatment for OCD—a treatment that can help you live a fulfilling life.

People in today's age are consuming more words than ever; the problem is, they're empty words. Doomscrolling and short-form content have crowded out great literature, and fewer than half of all American adults read a single book in 2022. While the downward trajectory of long form reading may not be as big a crisis as we think in our informational age, reading forms our minds in ways that no other form of media can. Read on the subway. Read on the plane. Read banned books. Read new books. Read old books. Above all, read what interests you.Connect with Stephen:Website: https://stephenmansfield.tv/Instagram: https://instagram.com/mansfieldwrites/X: https://twitter.com/MansfieldWrites

Fishing Without Bait 524 presents the third and final part of Jim Ellermeyer's conversation with Missy Sorg about political differences, social-media behavior and the possibility of maintaining meaningful relationships with people who do not share our beliefs. Rather than trying to win a debate, Jim and Missy examine what happens when people listen to respond instead of listening to learn. They discuss the echo chambers created by social media, the pressure to react immediately and the assumptions people make based on political labels. Jim introduces the space between stimulus and response as the place where choice and freedom can be found. Missy speaks candidly about her experiences working with Republican candidates and organizations. She explains why she does not automatically block every hostile commenter, how she decides when a response crosses the line and what can happen when community members answer an argument with research and supporting information. She also shares a personal story about telling a longtime Democratic friend that she was a Republican. Although he was initially shocked, the two eventually talked openly about their differences. He did not change his political position, but he was able to tell her, “I still don't agree with it, but I don't hate you.” Their friendship survived because they chose curiosity and conversation over assumptions. The discussion also looks at the effect constant screen use can have on attention, emotional health and sleep. Missy describes replacing nighttime doomscrolling with physical books and noticing improvements in her sleep and overall outlook. Jim and Missy encourage listeners to become more intentional about how social media is used instead of allowing it to become a form of constant maintenance. This episode is not about convincing everyone to agree. It is an invitation to pause, ask questions, listen actively and remember that a political designation does not represent the entirety of another human being.

主播：Meimei（中国）+ Maelle（法国） 音乐：Yellow最近，一个问题被越来越多的家长和研究者反复提起：为什么我们越来越难专心？这个特别的专题，我们将会分别讨论，到底是什么占据了我们的注意力？我们又该如何更好的分配我们的时间？01. Brain Rot？“脑腐”现象从何而来很多家长说，现在的孩子越来越坐不住，越来越难专注。但很快一个更关键的问题被提出——Are children really the only ones struggling(挣扎)?一个很典型的对比是：A child can't finish homework without checking a screen. An adult can't finish a movie without checking their phone（孩子写作业离不开屏幕，成年人看电影也会忍不住看手机。）问题看起来不只是“孩子的问题”，而更像是一种更普遍的状态。在讨论中提到一个被称为“brain rot emergency”（“脑腐危机”）的概念。有专家指出，这并不是在说 technology is bad（科技本身有问题），而是在描述一种现象：我们的 attention is being constantly competed for（注意力正在被不断争夺）。有人把这种状态形容为 living inside a giant attention marketplace（生活在一个巨大的注意力市场中）。在这个“市场”里：Everybody wants your attention. Social media (社交媒体) wants it. News apps (新闻软件)want it. Even shopping apps (购物软件) want it. Attention has become one of the most valuable things (最宝贵的资源之一) we own.02. Attention Span为什么我们越来越难集中？ 很多人都会说一句话：“I used to be able to focus.”（我以前是可以专心的）但现在，attention span（专注力持续时间）似乎发生了变化。Attention span is how long you can stay focused on one thing before your mind wants to switch（专注力是你在想切换注意力之前能持续专注的时间）。以前可以完整看完一部两小时电影，现在很多人 ten minutes in reach for their phone（拿起手机）。原因并不是单纯的无聊，而是 because our brains have become used to constant stimulation（持续刺激）。不管是new videos（新视频）,还是new messages（新消息），再或者是new notifications（新通知）。The brain starts expecting novelty (期待新鲜感) all the time，and gets bored very easily（也更容易感到无聊）。novelty：新鲜的事物03. Doomscrolling：为什么我们停不下来？节目中提到一个非常典型的行为：doomscrolling（灾难式刷手机）。Doom 指“灾难”，scrolling 指“滑动浏览”。Doomscrolling 指的是：明明知道这些内容会让自己焦虑，但 still can't stop scrolling（还是停不下来继续刷）。典型过程是：“You tell yourself: just one more video.”（告诉自己再看一个）Then an hour passes.研究发现，人类大脑 is naturally attracted to negative information（天然更容易被负面信息吸引）。这是因为 thousands of years ago（在很久以前），关注危险信息 helped us survive（帮助我们生存）。另一个重要概念是 instant gratification（即时满足）。Instant gratification means getting a reward immediately（立刻获得奖励）。比如：刷到有趣视频→ instant reward（即时奖励）收到点赞→ instant reward（即时反馈）收到消息→ another reward（另一个奖励）但现实生活是不同的：Things take time（很多事情需要时间）。Learning a language takes months（学语言需要几个月）。Getting fit takes time（健身需要时间）。These things all take time（这些事情都需要长期积累）。问题在于our brains start preferring quick rewards over long-term rewards（偏好即时奖励，而不是长期回报）。很多家长担心孩子沉迷手机，但节目中提出一个关键问题：Are children simply copying adults?（孩子是不是在模仿成年人？）Children don't just listen to adults. They watch adults（孩子不仅听成年人说什么，也在观察成年人怎么做）。如果家长一边说 “don't use your phone”（不要玩手机），一边 every few minutes checking their own phone（自己不断看手机），这种行为本身就构成了矛盾。Many of the challenges we see in children are also showing up in adults（孩子的问题，其实在成年人身上也存在）。It's not just a children's issue anymore. It's become a human problem（这已经变成一个人类共同的问题）。04. Our brain is adaptable大脑是有适应能力的尽管问题看起来严重，但研究并不是完全悲观的。Attention is adaptable（注意力是可以适应和改变的），just like a muscle（就像肌肉一样）。The more you practice focusing, the stronger it becomes（越练习专注，能力越强）。重点并不是完全远离 technology（科技），而是 learning to use it intentionally（有意识地使用它）。让技术成为工具，而不是被它牵着走。So maybe the question isn't: Why can't kids focus anymore?（问题或许不是“为什么孩子越来越难专心”）But rather: Why is it getting harder for all of us?（而是“为什么我们所有人都越来越难专心？”）If children are struggling with attention…maybe they are just reflecting what is already happening in adults（也许他们只是放大了成年人已经发生的状态）。欢迎在评论区留言：你上一次连续专注一小时做一件事是什么时候？When was the last time you focused on one thing for an entire hour?

A large-scale and delicate system of ocean currents that has been active for millions of years and that's responsible for our warm climate is in danger of collapse due to climate change. This is according to a new study published in April in the journal Science Advances. If that collapse actually happens, scientists warn, the consequences could be dire. Shane Elipot, a physical oceanographer at the University of Miami and one of the authors of the study, joins The Excerpt to share his findings.

Episode 3437: Courtney Carver explores five everyday habits that quietly increase stress, from staying constantly busy to overexplaining your decisions. By replacing these patterns with healthier boundaries and simpler routines, she shows how creating more space and intention can lead to greater calm, energy, and peace of mind. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://bemorewithless.com/daily-habits/ Quotes to ponder: "Always being busy has become an admirable way for people to avoid themselves." "Doomscrolling is when a person actively seeks out saddening or negative material to read or scroll through on social media or news media outlets. The idea behind doomscrolling is attempting to get access to all the information you need to keep yourself protected from what's dangerous around you." "The only people upset about you setting boundaries are the ones who benefited from you having none." Episode references: Sara Kuburic: https://www.sarakuburic.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.
