Shortage of Healthy Media Amongst the Overabundance of Brain Rot & Advertisements

I see mindless content everyday.

I scroll on any media platform and am hit with a plethora of financially charged posts, sponsorships and, ads, brain rot commercials and content with no real grab, no sense of authentic passion excitement or healthy sense of wonder that draws me in to want to sit and stay. I'm all for us getting flip phones and saying peace out to social media but at the end of the day sometimes we want to lay out on the couch and just watch something that doesn't make you feel like you've just wasted your life away watching useless brain rot content. I am left with this situation of desiring slower paced content that is still engaging while also educating me, plus helping to add something to my life. When I realized I was sitting in this jar of pickles trying to figure out what to do, I did. I started to make a little magazine out of paper and decided I'd add resources I see others struggling with needing. A place that felt like a stress free, non-invasive experience of art and healing. Our phone is on us 24/7 so it's nice to hold a physical piece of media that's fun, colorful, gives great movie and music recommendations and doesn't shame you into healing but is a safe space to open up the zine and have emotional coping methods and healing resources on hand. 

Now that the zine is made and new additions are out each month I still am on the search for tv that isn't mind numbing. So far I have found the YouTube channels:

Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan

Tasting History with Max Miller

Early American

Rosie Maio

but enjoying slow media comes with the delayed gratification of waiting for their videos to come out and some channels we may really connect with only post a few times a year? As people who desire to create more, what do we post? I've had a few ideas from why women need community to me head to toe lookin like a mermaid doing cool shit. Then you'd probably be thinking "Lysh didn't you just solve your own problem?" Yes but no, ya know? For some reason I experience this inner turmoil in which--although I have a degree in film with a concentration in VIDEO EDITING--I also have ADHD and the executive dysfunction to just sit down and edit it. I love editing yet getting myself to do it can sometimes feel impossible. I know I'm capable of overcoming this weird lil hurdle, I just gotta figure out how, lol. Until then the search for long form slow content continues (more nature shots, educational, satisfyingly entertaining & not overstimulating) and if anyone has any good reccomendations please LMK!!
