Reels and Shorts: Entertainment or Addiction? How Much Time Have You Lost to " The Void"?

This episode is my 🔥hot🔥 take on reels and shorts. I also include a week-long intention-setting practice that can help you take the first step in changing those habits that no longer serve you. We all get a little lost in the sauce sometimes. Instead of addressing an issue or feeling, we might cover it up with consumption and seek a quick fix to make us forget. Reels and shorts can be a not-so-productive use of our time that can help you forget your problems in the moment, but leave you feeling like a zombie when you snap back to reality. If everyone spent the same amount of time that they do on reels being present with the ones we love, finding joy in the beauty around us, working on personal growth and change, and addressing whatever problems we are facing, think of how different our lives might be. Reels and shorts are on every form of social media and are just as popular, if not more, than television and movies. With their rise in popularity over the last few years, it is more important now than ever to check in with ourselves and see how shorts and reels have impacted our lives.

Consumption: Distraction vs Discovery STOP THE DOOM SCROLL

We are constantly consuming. We consume content, videos, advertisements, conversations, food, music, energy, and more on a daily basis. We sometimes might distract ourselves by consuming reels, television, and other people's drama. "Everything we consume acts either to heal us or to poison us." - Thich Nhat Hanh Sometimes without us even realizing it, the things we consume can start to affect our vibration, energy, and overall well being. This can be for better, or for worse. So, how can we protect ourselves from bad or not so good, and seek out the good? How can we stop distracting ourselves and lead by example to help others see the light? Listen to this episode to learn more :) Website: empathyisbadass.com Etsy, Pinterest, Instagram, Youtube, Redbubble: @empathyisbadass There isn't a secret sauce that will transform your life and mindset overnight so be patient with yourself, trust in the process, and be sure to subscribe so you won't miss our next episode release :)  Your life matters, your story matters, and love matters.

Who, What, Why is Empathy is Badass: Intro Episode

My name is Alyssa. How the heck are ya? Welcome to Empathy is Badass, where you don't have to be an ass to be a badass! My mission is to help my fellow humans find freedom & empowerment through empathy, compassion, & mindfulness. I spent years feeling trapped in a victim mindset that no longer served me, and I wanted out! So, I got uncomfortable, vulnerable, and questioned everything I thought I knew. I found true peace at rock bottom and will never be the same. If sharing my sometimes strange and difficult circumstances and stories can remind someone struggling that they are not as alone as they feel and that there is always hope, that is enough for me. We will talk about how to turn your pain into power, how to heal, grow, and let the bullsh*t go. We will celebrate wins big and small. We will try and fail new things. We will learn to speak kindly to others and ourselves. I am not here to persuade, convince, or convert you. If you want out of the cycle, if you want to be unstuck, it's up to you. Change is inevitable. Embracing and making the best of it is up to you. My goal is to create a safe space and community for anyone on the path to healing, personal growth, finding joy, seeking truth, working on loving themselves, and anyone ready to make a change. Every day, every moment is a gift. We all have an opportunity to be the light and make others feel seen. We are never alone. We are a part of everyone and everything, and we are in this together. You are capable of forgiving yourself, forgiving others, and letting go of the past and future.  You are in control of your thoughts and emotions.  You are beautiful and unbroken. You are worthy. You matter.
