Did You Know That You Are Poisoning Your Mindset? | Ep. 489

from Growth Notes · host Jason Frazier

Stop Doom Scrolling: Protect Your Attention and Your MindsetFrazier explains why doom scrolling is destructive by describing the attention-based business model of news and social platforms, which profit by keeping users engaged and selling their attention to advertisers. He says these platforms exploit human negativity bias—the brain’s tendency to prioritize negative information for survival—using algorithms, headlines, and outrage content to keep people scrolling. Frazier argues that consuming negative content, especially in the morning or during breaks, doesn’t just waste time but poisons the mindset needed to build a business, making it harder to act with enthusiasm and see opportunities clearly. He emphasizes that attention shapes attitude, attitude shapes actions, and actions shape results, urging listeners to be deliberate about their “information diet” and to protect and control what gets access to their mind.Build Your Growth Engine Today!
