Aaron here, 15 (guy)
The teenage angst hits hard doesnt it? I personally feel the effects of it very much. As a male, im particularly sensitive, and that makes me rather more soft and empathetic, but I also understand boundaries and the limits I would take from others. That said, My main issue is that, i find myself distracting my mind by scrolling and gaming, its been going on for quite a while and i dont like it. I just came back from one of the best school trips of my life where i was lively and social. However, now life pulls me back into my reality, where im quite lonely and closed in. I start to realise i don't really initiate conversations now through texts and i also don't like that. The crash from almost full joy, back to my depressing cave makes me mad, I want to do something about this. I dont wanna be doing the same shit i had been doing before. I have done some research and i find that maybe its because my body is so tired that scrolling is the only thing that stimulates the mind awake or something. Im not sure but, my question is: How do I start living a boring life into a more meaningful one? I have hobbies but i keep putting them aside, how do i grab myself by the neck to do things that i Like to do?

Hey Aaron, First of all, give yourself some credit. Having the self-awareness to notice this pattern of behaviour and being secure enough in yourself to own your sensitivity, already puts you in the direction of self improvement. :) Coming home from an amazing trip always triggers a massive crash. You went from constant social energy and novelty right back to your normal routine, so it makes total sense that your room feels like a cave right now. I can totally relate to this :)))))) What you could do upon this is you could hop on CapCut and make a edit about your trip if you want to relive it a bit. Also, you’re spot on about being tired. When your brain is drained, scrolling and gaming are the easiest ways to get a quick hit of stimulation. You don't need to 'grab yourself by the neck' to fix this because fighting exhaustion with pure willpower usually just leads to burnout. Instead, try lowering the bar so much that it’s easy to start: The 5-minute rule: Pick one hobby and tell yourself you only have to do it for five minutes. If you want to stop after that, you can. Usually, just getting past the starting line is enough. On the contrary to this, you could start and finish a hobby in one sitting. Low-pressure texts: You don't need a big reason to reach out to people from the trip. Send a funny photo from the week, a meme, or just say, 'Still recovering from the trip, hope your week is going well.' (I might have misunderstood what you were saying sorry) Get out of your room: Even if you're just listening to music or reading, physically leaving your 'cave' helps break the muscle memory of sitting down and opening a game or an app. Give yourself a few days to actually rest and catch up on sleep. Once your battery is back up, doing the things you actually love will feel way less like a chore. Get morning sunlight: So when listening to music or watching Netflix or whatever, even scrolling (sssh) do it for like 5 minutes outside because it resets your circadian rhythm, meaning you are more awake for the day, then separate yourself from devices for at least 30 minutes before bed. Just do not look at the screen because it can disrupt your sleep and the first step to fix this, is sleep, everything stems from sleep. You could even play your favourite chill playlist before bed if that helps you too instead of scrolling!

Actionable Step #2
Out of my 19,000 subscribers, 2,000 discord members, and 58 people in the Skool; about 5 people will like this post, and only 1-2 will actually think about the advice. On a good day, 1 Person MIGHT take action and then respond to this post with how it went. So if you want to fix your life and easily be ahead of everyone else who's hardly even trying, then read these posts, take action, and reply with how it went. Literally nobody is even trying. If you take my advice and apply it every day, your life will really change a LOT. Today's action step is just to go for a mindful walk either in your neighborhood, at the park, on a trail, etc. And post a picture and describe how it helped your day. Anyone making excuses gets banned -- you can get outside for a few minutes today, regardless if it's cold, or you have school; just do it, and enjoy the nature around you. Anytime you start thinking, stressing, or daydreaming, just refocus back on the present. If you did this; then amazing job!

Guys, everyone can do this, I arrived at school early today so I just walked around with my airpods in with my friends for like 10 minutes and the morning light really made me smile :) We even had a spotify jam

Intro
Hey, my name is Owen and I'm 16. For a while now, I have been struggling with substance abuse, and over the past year extreme depression has taken me to probably the darkest places in my life. Yesterday, I survived my suicide attempt. Looking back, I realise how happy I am to still be here. I've really been in a downward spiral lately, but after finding Zak's videos today, I decided to join this community and start working on myself. Right now, my main goal is just to take things one day at a time and build better habits to replace my old ones.
