The Doomscrolling Epidemic
Social media algorithms are designed by the smartest engineers in the world to hijack your brain’s dopamine system. To take back control, you need a strategy.
Replacing the Habit
You can’t just “stop” scrolling; you must replace it with a healthier dopamine source. Next time you feel the urge to open TikTok, try this instead:
- Open a brain training app and do one quick memory exercise.
- Do a 3-minute guided breathing routine.
- Read one page of a physical book.
By substituting the habit, you rewire your brain. Need an app that helps you build those healthy habits? Check out Brain Baba.
