It’s a familiar picture for many of us: after a long day at work, we find ourselves glued to the couch, phone in hand. Maybe even for hours at a time. What starts as a way to mentally unwind or catch up on the news quickly becomes hours spent compulsively “doomscrolling” — the act of spending an excessive amount of time on social media scrolling through overwhelmingly negative content.
By making a conscious decision to change a habit — such as picking up your phone and doomscrolling for hours — you can. Doing a hobby mindfully simply means paying attention to what you’re doing and being in the moment — whether that’s coloring, knitting, or sewing. Mindfulness is the practice of focusing your attention on the present moment and experiencing your thoughts and feelings without judgment. It’s not necessarily about clearing your mind, but about engaging in an activity with your full attention, and not being distracted by other thoughts.When you’re focused on a craft, your hands are busy, so you’ll be too engaged to reach for your phone.
