THE DANGER OF DOOMSCROLLING

DOOMSCROLLING

A new word that describes an obsession right now that’s making us emotionally sick.

IT’S A QUANDARY

Intentions are good as we try to LEARN and UNDERSTAND, so our eyes scan our computer screens desperate to figure it out. But the world is changing on a daily basis, so we scan again ... and again.

FACT OR FICTION?

We search for wisdom, but like a car accident on the freeway, we can’t look away. Unbelievable stories, torrid details, and figures climbing to frightening levels are consuming us with a toxic level of negativity.

FIND A BALANCE

Yes, we need to stay informed, but what are you ALSO doing to FEED YOUR SOUL?

Conditions in the world are DARK and doom & gloom announcements are everywhere. We need to make the effort to SEARCH for LIGHT. There is still goodness. We can serve others and soften our hearts in the process. Create a space of time each day to ponder and find peace.

We must EMBRACE enough LIGHT to diminish a portion of the darkness we’re consuming. It’s critical to our physical, emotional, and spiritual health.

And that kind of FOCUSED ENLIGHTENMENT will ultimately guide us to TRUTH.
