Social Media Blues: Kat's Tips for a Brighter Morning

I feel like most of us are a sucker for mindless scrolling, or what's now been termed doom scrolling, and you just waste hours and hours of your life looking at photos that you will forget three seconds after you've seen them and watching videos that mean nothing to you.
Ever wake up and find yourself lost in an endless scroll on social media? Kat from 'Sober Sunrise' knows the feeling all too well. In this episode, she dives into the highs and lows of social media use, especially in the mornings. Kat talks about 'doomscrolling', that pesky habit of endlessly scrolling through social feeds without any real purpose, and how it can set a negative tone for your day.
She shares her own struggles with feeling restless and anxious after spending too much time online, and offers some down-to-earth tips to help you break free from this cycle. One of her clever suggestions is to use a traditional alarm clock instead of your phone to wake up. This simple change can keep you from reaching for your phone first thing in the morning.
She also recommends setting up a locked folder with a password that reminds you not to check social media during certain times of the day. Kat emphasizes the importance of being mindful and present, especially in the morning, to cultivate a sense of peace and productivity. If you've ever felt the pull of social media dragging you down, this episode is packed with practical advice to help you reclaim your mornings.
Kat's friendly and relatable style makes it feel like you're getting advice from a wise friend. Tune in to learn how to start your day off on a brighter note, free from the clutches of doomscrolling.
