Do you ever find yourself "mindlessly" scrolling through your feed, only to realize thirty minutes have passed? In this episode of The Mindfulness Podcast, hosts Nita, Lele and Pat explore the intersection of digital technology and mental well-being. In this episode, we discuss: Curating your experience: How to use mindfulness to audit your feed and the algorithms that drive it. The Dopamine Loop: Understanding the "insidious" ways social media is designed to capture our attention through emotional triggers. Practical Boundaries: Tips for reclaiming your time, from turning off notifications to banning phones from the workspace. The "Boredom" Benefit: Why the lost art of being bored is essential for the "default mode network" of our brains. Featured Practice: Stick around for a guided 50/50 mindfulness practice where we use our phones in real-time to observe our physical and emotional reactions to social media apps. Join us as we learn how to reap the benefits of technology without succumbing to the consequences.
