26
The first tip I have for you is to swap out your habit.
27
So you first want to become aware of when you find yourself scrolling on social media.
28
For me, I tend to do a lot of scrolling in the morning That's a bad habit just waking up taking my phone and you just start scrolling social media kind of to help you wake up.
29
Sometimes, I also find myself scrolling when I'm taking a break from work so that I just like open a social media app Hey, I wonder what's there and then you just end up scrolling for like way too long.
30
Notice when you're doing this and then start to swap out the habit for something just as fun, just as energizing, if not, more than what you were searching for.
31
For example, with the waking up example.
32
The scrolling is a way for me to kind of wake up.
33
If you are in the same boat, Do something else that also helps you wake up without social media.
34
A way that I really enjoy doing is starting to play good music right when I wake up and letting the music kind of energize your body.
35
It just starts your day on such better vibes.
36
There are so many different wake up and morning playlists that you can find on Spotify.
37
I made my own personal wake-up playlist a few years ago because I really love listening to big band jazz.
38
It just makes me feel so like big and fun and it makes the day feel really grand.
39
If you also find yourself scrolling while you're taking a break, you can also turn to music instead, or you can do things like take a dance break, go for a walk.
40
Find a way to give yourself what you were originally looking for.
41
Which was some sort of break, some way to energize yourself.
42
kind of switch into a new frame of thinking and you can do that without social media.
43
You can do that in so many other ways.
44
So let's start sharing ideas!
45
Comment down below with what you plan to swap out your habit of scrolling for.
46
Instead of reaching for your phone or social media, what else are you gonna do instead?
47
The next tip, out of sight out of mind.
48
Basically, put your phone away.
49
If you find yourself reaching for your phone, spending hours scrolling on social media, one thing you can do is just put your phone away.
50
Put it in a drawer, in a different room.
51
Especially if you need to get work done.
52
This is really helpful if you need to study or work or just focus.
53
Literally put your phone on silent and place it hidden somewhere, out of sight out of mind.
54
If you have the habit of scrolling your phone in the morning, another thing you can try is to put in your phone in another room when you are sleeping.
55
So that when you wake up, your phone is not there, you don't immediately reach for it and subconsciously just open your apps and start scrolling.
56
Even I don't do this but I have heard that it's life-changing for some people and if you're thinking about like, Oh, what do I use for an alarm?
57
Just use a traditional alarm or if you have something like those smart speakers, you can tell it to set an alarm at a certain time for you so that you don't need your phone to wake you.
58
This tip also applies if you are out If you're out at a restaurant with your friends or family, try not to have your phone on the table.
59
Just put your phone away, that will help you become more present.
60
I think a lot of times people leave their phone in view and they end up scrolling and checking it when they feel bored.
61
Just because they need something to do.
62
Practice just being present in the real world You know, don't look at your phone look at your environment, pay attention to the sounds, what's happening?
63
Just be in real life for a moment.
64
The next tip is to set app limits This is something that is a feature on phones now where you can set limits for how long you allow yourself to spend on an app I set an hour maximum per day that I'm allowed to browse Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter.
65
Just any social media.
66
Even though it's really easy to cancel this limit when you want to browse longer, I feel that the notification is really helpful.
67
It helps you become aware.
68
Oh, I've reached my limit of one hour for today and then it's up to me to decide whether I want to like stick to my goal or not and it's okay either way but at the very least it helps me become aware of how long I'm on an app.
69
Another thing that I do on the iPhone, there's something called "downtime".
70
Where you can set like certain times, where everything kind of shuts off my browser, shuts off my social media apps, You can choose which apps you want to keep on and which apps you want to limit.
71
I turn everything off at 11 PM because my personal goal is to get off my phone, get off social media, and don't look at anything from 11 pm and onwards because I want to start winding down and you know getting ready for bed, I don't want to be all wired and have all this new information in my brain before I sleep because social media apps are designed to keep us on the app for as long as possible.
72
We need to put in these limits to break us out of that system because it's not as easy as willpower.
73
You know so you need to have things that wake you up out of the zone.
74
So that you can go back to living your life in the present.
75
The next tip I have for you is to delete apps that aren't serving you.
76
If being on an app is making you feel worse about yourself, if you find that it's really destructive to yourself and your well-being, delete it it's not worth it.
77
The whole point is our tools are supposed to enhance our lives and make our lives better.
78
If it's not making your life any better, get rid of it.
79
See how it feels to live life without the app.
80
It might be hard because all your friends are on it, you want to know what's going on but just try it out, go on a social media detox.
81
I can assure you that after you get over that hump, it will feel good and you'll notice how much more present you can be with the people in your life because you don't have this distraction happening.
82
I have a few friends that completely got off social media and they're just happily living their lives.
83
All they do is keep in touch with their friends through texting and calling and seeing people in person kind of like the old days, right?
84
because social media is a big part of my job, I can't completely delete the app.
85
Which is why I have to put those time limits and stuff but even for me, there was a time where I for example deleted Twitter for like six months because it was just so bad for my mental health to keep seeing like news after news and just like so much information for my brain.
86
I just started feeling really frazzled, it became a very bad habit to scroll that at night.
87
So deleting that and instead using that time that I would have spent scrolling on something healthier like exercising at home, that really shifted my life in the past year.
88
The next tip I have for you is to go deeper and pinpoint the real issue why you spend time scrolling.
89
This gets more reflective, instead of just blocking things on the surface, All the tips before this goes deep.
90
You want to reflect on why you find yourself scrolling, why you reach for the phone?
91
I find that most of the time it's because we want to avoid something most of the time we are you know, distracting ourselves on purpose because we're running away from something whether you're running away from your responsibilities, whether you're just running away from your problems in life, social media is a way for us to numb ourselves to escape into another world, to focus on something outside of ourselves.
92
So that we can forget about our responsibilities and our problems.
93
This is where "shadow" work comes in because you want to take a look at your shadow, what are you running away from?
94
what do you not like about yourself or your life?
95
and just see what's really happening.
96
What is the real issue here?
97
For example, one of the reasons that I realized I spent time scrolling so much was because I was procrastinating, I was running away from doing things that were hard.
98
Scrolling social media is so easy, it's so comfortable, there's very little effort I realized that I was turning to social media when I was running away from something that was challenging in my life.
99
I had to work through that limiting belief that I was afraid of facing my challenges and doing hard things.
100
and I talk about this in my recent video on how to overcome limiting beliefs.
101
I'll link that here and down below.
102
but I basically had to ingrain this new belief in me, that I am capable of doing anything that is hard or challenging.
103
I can do hard things.
104
That belief has been so monumental in me being okay, I know I'm running away from what's hard, let me like turn it off and let me just face with hard because I know I can do it obviously.
105
It's still hard, right?
106
but it gives you a little more courage to be aware and to learn to face your fears, learn to face what's scary.
107
Reflect on why you turn to social media and why you end up scrolling for so long.
108
The last thing I'll share with you today to break out of your "doom" scrolling habits is to cultivate more mindfulness and practice being present.
109
Ultimately, this is the biggest skill you can have for just becoming powerful in your life.
110
The more awareness you can have in your life the more mindful and the more present you can be in your everyday life.
111
The more power you have to direct your life and fine-tune it in any direction you want because we tend to go off track when we aren't being that conscious, when we're just kind of on autopilot and we're distracted and we're not paying attention to what's really happening but if you can practice being more mindful and present then you'll have that power to snap yourself out of it.
112
If you're in that autopilot mode and this is especially helpful for things like doom scrolling on social media so you build this mindfulness and this conscious awareness by doing things like meditating.
113
Another way is to practice two tuning into your five senses just at any point of the day.
114
What do I see?
115
What do I hear?
116
What am I feeling?
117
or as you're eating, What am I tasting?
118
What am I like smelling?
119
You know our five senses are our gateway to experience the physical world.
120
Kind of tapping into and truly feeling each of those five senses is a way to be present in the now, in this place that we are living.
121
The more you can hone that and practice that consciousness, you'll be able to snap back so much faster and be like, wait, a minute...
122
this scrolling is not productive, I'm not even having fun right now and I think I should be doing something else.
123
I know I should be doing something else that's gonna serve me better than scrolling.
124
Building that mindset is it's a practice It's not willpower, it's the practice of being "the observer" of your life that the best way I think I can put it.
125
Alright, I hope you enjoyed my tips today!
126
Let me know if you have more tips on how to stop this doom scrolling habit once and for all.
127
Please, let's help each other, share with each other.
128
Remember that social media is not evil, it is a tool because there's pros and cons.
129
There's all these positives that came with this technology, there's also negatives but we want to embrace the positive and then try to protect ourselves from the negative.
130
You being in control of your attention and how you spend your time because social media is not the boss, it can't tell you what to do.
131
You are the boss.
132
You can tell yourself how you want to spend your time, where you want to put your attention.
133
Definitely build that conscious habit to spend your time the way you want to spend it.
134

为什么要通过这个视频练习口语？
在当今社会，社交媒体的影响深远，有时我们在不知不觉中花费了太多时间在这些平台上。这个视频提供了一些实用的建议，帮助我们停止“末日滚动”（doom scrolling），并更有效地利用我们的时间。通过观看这个视频，您不仅可以学到如何管理自己的社交媒体使用习惯，还可以分享您个人的感受和体验，进而提升您的英语口语能力。在此过程中，您将有机会大声诵读，同时增强对社交媒体对心理健康影响的理解，这对您参与未来的雅思口语练习将大有裨益。
语法和表达的语境
- “You know the feeling” - 这个表达在口语中非常普遍，用于建立与听众的共鸣，显示说话者对听众经验的理解。
- “Sometimes you’re actually entertained” - 通过“sometimes”来引入不同的情况，使句子更加生动和真实。
- “Notice when you’re doing this” - 此句使用“notice”一词，引导听众反思自己的行为，具有启发性。
- “Put your phone away” - 这是一个简单直接的命令式句子，适合在给出建议时使用。
常见发音陷阱
在视频中，有许多词汇可能对学习者造成发音上的挑战。例如，“scrolling”这个词，许多非母语者在发音时常常会忽略“r”音。此外，“social media”这一短语中，快速发音可能导致不清晰，特别是在连读时。掌握这些单词的正确发音，不仅能提高您的英语口语练习效果，也能帮助您在与他人交流时更加自信。建议您通过shadow speech（影子语音）练习这些词汇，以提高您的发音和流利度，特别是在雅思口语练习中，清晰的发音至关重要。
无论您是在提升英语发音还是在准备雅思口语考试，通过关注这些细节，让您的表达更为自信而流畅。这样，您不仅能更好地理解社交媒体的影响，还能有效改善您的英语口语技能。
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
