Unrotting Your Brain
Scrolling a bit too much? Brain starting to feel like a sussy imposter lost in the Garten of Banban? Close your eyes and see strawberry elephants and smurf cats? Yurrrrp, you’ve got the ‘rot, schlawg. But it’s never too late to train your brain and take your attention span back. We’ll show you how.
Disconnect for a while. You don’t have to go nuclear and wipe your phone of all social media, but there is something to be said about quitting cold turkey. Try cutting one app out at a time, starting with the worst offender, like TikTok or Instagram. Or, limit your scrolling time to one scheduled hour per day. You gotta spray the weeds at the roots, after all.
Talk to non-brainrotted people. Brainrot memes are fun, but when they’re the bulk of what you’re engaging with each day, they can start to become your first language, instead of just something you peek at for fun. Hit up some IRL friends who aren’t very online and hang out with them. Having a normal conversation and talking about normal people things can do wonders.
Challenge your brain. The ‘rot thrives on lazy brains. But when you’re pushing your cognitive power, you build up an immunity. Grab a novel, or even a graphic novel, and start reading. Do a crossword or a sudoku. Shoot, even sit down and challenge yourself to watch a movie with no interruptions or distractions. Your attention span is a muscle, and you gotta flex it if you want to make it stronger.
Get creative. As long as you’ve got all that wild, nonsensical energy and info rattling around your skull, why not channel it into some art? We’re serious! Draw something brainrot related. Make your own TikToks or Reels. Exercising your creativity, even for brainrot-related things, is a great way to boost your brain power.
