Imagine living every moment of your life with intention, joy, and purpose. Now, consider how much of that life is slipping away as you find yourself endlessly scrolling, clicking, and consuming content on your screens. It’s not dramatic to say that the more time you spend captivated by screens, the less you’re truly living your authentic life. Let us show you how to reclaim it.
A Cycle Of Addiction
Screens and all forms of media fall on what I call the “Supernormal Spectrum,” ranging from seemingly harmless emails to the dangerous realm of explicit content.
Think about it: how often do you find yourself scrolling without a purpose?. Seeking that next hit of dopamine? Whoever invented scrolling knew what they were doing..it’s a high-dopamine activity that keeps you searching but never truly finding. Each swipe and click takes you further away from your real life and deeper into a cycle of addiction.
A Personal Insight
Dr. Leigh shares: “I had a conversation with my 20-year-old son about this very topic. We talked about how, for the first time ever, the younger generation is worse off than the one before, primarily due to the influence of screens. As someone a generation or two ahead, I can see clearly that screen time must be moderated, or it will take control of your life. Those who figure this out early will rise above a generation sinking to the bottom”.
The Science Behind the Screens
The pull you feel back to your screen is rooted in dopamine, the molecule of motivation, pleasure, and reward. When you’re scrolling, you’re feeding your brain with dopamine, which feels good for a moment. But when you return to your real life, the dopamine levels drop, leaving you feeling unmotivated and craving more of that digital high. The more you give in to this cycle, the more your screen controls you, detracting you from your true life experiences.
The Mission
Together, we have a mission: To help you moderate your screen time, eliminate explicit content, and elevate your consciousness. Right now, if you’re passively consuming whatever is thrown at you, you’re living unconsciously. You may recognize this isn’t good for you but feel unsure about how to change. That recognition means you’ve reached a subconscious level of awareness. The power is in you! You can help yourself become conscious and intentional to start living your best life.
