As a 16 year old girl whos recently deleted social media (not for the first time, i used to keep going back lmfao), ive noticed a huge difference in a matter of days. ive spent so much time reading, listening to audiobooks, writing, going for walks, colouring, even just finding the weirdest ways to keep myself entertained, and just hobbies in general that i completely abandoned to use my phone, or spend time on unnecessary socials, and its been so beyong refreshing. I feel like we all forget how to live normally until we truly delete everything. I'm literally limiting myself to an hour of youtube a day (on my laptop or tv only, i dont have it on my phone) and 15 minutes of time on messages, so i can interact with friends, etc, but I still go to school, so i see everyone everyday, to further this progress ive already made, and see good results. I just wish more teens saw how your teenage years are literally the perfect time to stop using these apps that are literally ruining their mental health. Ive already seen so much improvement in a matter of days, and im beginning to learn how to entertain myself again and it truly feels amazing!!

However, even with people that have a documented diagnosis of mental illness, they still have to decide for themselves that they’re going to go to therapy (or that they’re actually gonna put in effort to change when they do go) or take their medication, change their habits/environments, friend groups. It always starts with a mental decision, no matter who you are. Thoughts are supreme, and changing your environment, friend group, or any other aspect of life starts with a thought. *this goes for adults that are out on their own in the world, obviously children are at the whim of their parents/guardians.

Excessive mobile phone use makes our bodies create so much dopamine. As a result we have not much left. We may feel tired, distracted, unmotivated, disconnected, anxious and even in the long run: depressed. Other activities also work in a similar way: eating comfort food, sugary snacks, alcohol, pornography, gambling, drugs, etc. If we want to go even deeper we can start asking ourselves: "What is it that I am trying to distract myself from ?" That can be many things happening on a subconscious level: painful feelings of let's say not feeling connected to your parents, friends and yourself. And many other unmet needs. You can't go far without self-awareness.

It's social media, that really is the "trap", imo. I'm already 29 and not as heavily affected by it's downsides as younger people, but I noticed that scrolling Instagram for too long, especially other's pages and pictures, tends to make me frustrated. All this comparison that comes with it is unhealthy and often devastating. It seems to me that people are living in their own bubbles more than ever before, staring at the screens, lost in whatever they're consuming. There's much less interpersonal contact, verbal or nonverbal. But there surely is a tendency to go "back to the roots", phones aside.

Great video! The world is our playground! "We don't stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing". So sometimes all you need to do is put the damn phone away and be in the moment. It gives you superpowers!😄💪

As an “old” person who grew up without phones or internet- or computers for that matter- the sounds of the world give you peace and calm your soul. I often walk to many places -even take the bus because it requires walking too and from- just to hear the world and its sounds. Very calming effect. I also drive with the windows down because I hate the silence a closed car can create. Opening the windows helps me absorb those calming sounds. So I fully support the “get off your damn phone” movement.

@michaelcraig9449

24 күн бұрын

Yeah why does everyone drive with all the windows up, no matter what temperature it is, even if it is perfect like 50-90 degrees? I do notice that. I drive with them open.

I don't know why I clicked on this vid but I had to pause when the sound of the mourning dove was mentioned. One of my oldest memories was when I was sleeping over at my grandfather's house with my sister, every morning we would hear multiple mourning doves. We weren't allowed to go downstairs before a certain time and we couldn't be loud, so we would whisper as the early sun would peek through the blinds and we'd just mimic the doves and whisper about how many chestnuts we'd go find on the field today. I'm a millennial but that sound of the doves brings me back to that specific morning or weekend. The childish anticipation of the day to come and what thoughts were in our minds then. I didn't even need to finish the video to know what would follow. Needless to say, I do still hear the mourning doves, but during my busiest years, I'm sure I haven't heard a single one.

Its so important to really take the time to ground yourself in this day and age. I really didnt believe the morning dove sang anymore because my childhood friend and i talk about nostalgia so much and when I was at her house with my babies the last time we both heard it again. She says every once in a while she still hears them but it had been years since i remember hearing it. I hear it in my yard now and as im typing there are birds chirping loudly right outside my front door. Your video is inspiring. I love grounding myself in the present but dont do it enough. What helps me is realizing with my 2 kids that if we dont then we rob our children of the same experience and fun we had. Playing in mud, picking wild blackberries, climbing trees, riding bikes, playing with the waterhose and feeling a sense of connection eith loved ones and thinking this was such a perfect day.

90% of people have headphones in and their eyes glued to the screen every waking hour. I live in a high rise that’s 20 floors so the elevator ride is 20-30 seconds. Almost everyone pulls their phone from their pocket to check it while they are in the elevator. We that go 30 seconds without needing to be distracted from slight boredom

The mourning dove is SO important to me, i'm 13 and most likely addicted to my phone, Chromebook, and games in general but i hear the bird EVERYDAY.. it reminds me of when i was younger and out playing on my cousins swing set in 2015, that cousin is now missing and has been ever since 2021. its now my favorite bird ever, the sound it makes and the memories i get whenever i hear its call. Miss you Emma

I always thought my mom was not smart and like old fashioned But the older I grow, I realise, everything she said was totally true I love my mom she is a endless entity of love, care and wisdom

I am online way too much. Me and a few of my friends decided that we needed to fix that if we want to live a better life. Thank you for this video.

I'm working on reducing my phone time. Incredible how quickly you get hooked. 😮

Screens only engage eyes and ears, with generally no body movement. Interacting with the world engages all of the senses. You feel the breeze, you can pick a flower or feel the rough bark of a tree. Smell the air, see and hear things from all different angles. Move your body through a wide range of motion. It's all so much more engaging, your body and mind are made to interact with the world this way. Many of us need to go outside without our devices and kind of pick up where we left off in childhood. Me included, I better put this thing down and go move around! Thanks for the video!

We all have realized that our parents were always right Miss you Dad ..🥺🤲🏻♥️

Ive rarely been on my phone only for school and I noticed my mind being at peace not worrying about anyone elses life. I can actually do things entirely for my benefit and no one elses. Thanks for the extra inspiration , Much appreciated.

Unbelievable how my Brain was trying to tell me to skip through this work of art even though it was only 10 minutes long. It‘s crazy how addicted I am to quick dopamine. I forced myself to watch the Full video and was crying for the second half. Thank you. I love you as a human being.

Building, frantic piano that ends abruptly with the end of the video really makes me feel I I've watched something smart.

It brought me to tears when you mentioned climbing a tree..when I was little there was this small tree in our street which the four of us(our friends) used to take turns trying to climb it and who reaches the highest wins. Back then I thought when I grow up, all tall and big, I will one day definitely try to reach the top of that small tree. Now that I'm 16 years old, still living in the same street, I don't even know if that tree still exists. It's sad how we used to be so creative with our own thoughts and imaginations back in the days and that curiosity about the world..I remember in our playground there used be lot of sand under those small ride thingies like a swing, a seesaw and all of that, in that sand we used to make a little hill and flatten out the top, pour a small cup of water and then mould out that sand which turns out to look like a mini bowl. We used to collect these small seeds from the plants nearby during summer and when we put them in water they pop. Me and my friends used to play with those alot. And there's this tree which used to have like layered kind of buds I don't know how to describe it but we used to peel the outer layer off and put them on nails trying to act like demons. Slowly technology took over bringing a huge distance between me and my friends. I see everything about the world on the internet and It's so upsetting how I'm not curious abt it anymore...and I barely even remember when was the last time I played hide and seek with my friends

Yoo so right after I finished this video I decided to drop everything and take a bike ride. I didn’t even bring my phone. I biked around town, and I couldn’t help but hear the sound of the mourning dove. I heard it like 4 times too! I haven’t ridden my bike in months, and this video was a wake up call. My mental state feels calmer already. Thank you so much stranger! ❤❤

Dude I almost cried watching this. Back in the day me and my cousin carlis used to play things like police where we used our bikes to move around, buy stuff, had imaginary gfs and such like peach or some other video game character it was so fun. We also played with chess pieces that were Mario characters and made crazy stories out of that. I even would make entire Mario type platformjng games in my head with extremely hard and complex elements in the bathroom only using my hands to move around and dodge enemies/ platform/ etc. I will definitely be trying to tap back into that more. I already do that sometimes by CREATING fan fics and active meditation (something I got from Mindvalley) but I could do so much more as my brain is BIGGER NOW!

Your storytelling is amazing

Yeah, it is cuz of that damn phone...but...we grew up, when we were younger, everything was simple..and especially tv series, we would come home from school just to watch that one particular episode. It was so simple back then...basically said, life was much more enjoyable, we wanted to grow up so bad but now we regret it.. There is so much nostalgia when tryin to think back..it hurts kinda cuz we wanna go back to those simple, beautiful times

The birds, its been a while since I heard them. But when I started hearing them again I couldn't feel more joy, all I used to do before was sit on my phone with airpods all day. Now I actually take time to sit and hear outside.Take a break, look out, you'll see what you've been looking for.

I could never imagine doing your style because I had previously thought the story-type delivery was lengthy and not of excellent time value; however, the way you deliver your stories and connect ideas is impressive. Your videos allow moments of ponder and room to process. Thank you for your work!

Profound insight man, I think even the term “creator” puts consumers at a distance. Like we constantly see what others are putting out there on the socials and comparing to our own existence. That perpetuates a feeling of lack of creativity in ourselves. Also thank you for letting me know what that bird is I constantly hear now that I’m living in Texas 🕊️

what a beautiful video, the visuals, the wordplay, the creative and unique use of analogies and metaphors is exactly the way i think about the things ive been thinking about lately. i’ve gone from using my phone to search for and quell my cravings for socialization, creation and entertainment to now talking with anyone i can, playing music and analyzing it to quell my creative spirit and entertaining myself with the beauty and wonders of the world. This video is the perfect summary of everything ive experienced in the last couple of weeks. thank you so much and congratulations on such a greatly constructed and informative video!

I love what you’ve been able to do with these stories you tell. Your channel’s been a huge help in reminding me of how simple and hopeful life can be

The script of your videos are really good, your writing only gets better

I think this is one of the deeper videos of yours... well done my friend

I loved the storytelling in this video Cole, and I very much agree with your whole way of seeing things, I myself have been trying to redescover that childlike instinct since I studied Pirandello in high school (his whole poetic style was that of trying to recapture the child gaze and express it with words), staying off short form content is definitely great ngl

The way I clicked this video so fast. Thanks for the message!! I am a lover of the outdoors who also spends too much time on my phone.. A GREAT book recommendation relating to this topic is The Surrender Experiment. I am going to start reading that for the 2nd time in place of spending time on my phone.

Honestly beautiful outro. A quote from the Goldbergs sums it up best: “Always hold onto that (childlike) wonder.” Great video, Cole.

Create > Consume That is the key. Great video🙏

Just went out early with my phone off. They're still there! The morning doves are still there. Their tone is easy to miss if you have other sounds like cars or trucks going by, but, if you can be at a quiet place around 6AM - spring/ summer, they're out there.

This is probably my favorite video of all time💯

Cole, you're a talented storyteller who makes me loose track of time haha I felt like I was watching your video for 10 minutes yet I was only 4 minutes in...although that can be taken negatively, this is actually a compliment and I'm kinda shook with your aura haha I've watched your videos when you were younger and this video really feels different....for a second I didnt recognize you....like youve truly kept peaking throughout this whole time and radiate like you are living in your highest peak now.
