boredom isn’t the problem. scrolling is.

if you feel bored and your thumb goes straight to tiktok, pause.

this is your reminder that boredom is a cue, not a flaw. try a quick dopamine detox moment: put the phone down for 60 seconds, breathe, then do one tiny task (or pick an analog hobby) so your focus and creativity can come back online.

save this for the next time you catch yourself doomscrolling and want a screen time reset.

This image defines anxiety as a built-in alarm system that becomes problematic when constantly active, leading to the brain scanning for threats and the body feeling tense and tired.

This image explains that anxiety is rarely one's fault, stemming from a mix of biological factors, life experiences like trauma and stress, habits such as poor sleep, and learned responses from past hurts.

This image illustrates types of anxiety, including Generalized Anxiety, Social Anxiety, Panic Disorder, and Specific Phobias, with a visual metaphor of a person being overwhelmed by reaching hands.

Anxiety isn’t just in your head
