Autumn teaches the body and mind a lesson in impermanence.

The slow falling leaves of red and gold mirror an inner unwinding and the practice of letting go.

Transformation is not always dramatic. It's often a thinning of the noises. A quieting of demands, and a wiser heart found in the margins of change.

While “brain rot” isn’t a clinical diagnosis, it’s become a widely recognized term to describe the mental fog, cognitive fatigue, and emotional numbness that can result from excessive consumption of low-quality digital content especially short-form, fast-paced media like TikToks, Reels, and doomscrolling news feeds.

In fact, it was named Oxford’s Word of the Year in 2024, reflecting how deeply it’s resonated across generations.

How Is It Manifesting?

Across the general population especially among Gen Z and Gen Alpha. Brain rot is showing up as:

• Reduced attention span and difficulty focusing on complex tasks
• Mental exhaustion after prolonged screen time
• Impaired memory and difficulty with recall
• Emotional desensitization and increased irritability
Low motivation and a preference for instant gratification
• Disrupted sleep and increased anxiety or depressive symptoms

These symptoms often mimic burnout or ADHD-like traits, but they’re increasingly being linked to digital overstimulation and dopamine dysregulation from constant novelty-seeking online.

Get outside. Leave the phone at home or in the car. Take the dog and family for a long woodland walk. Get involved in more physical hands on hobbies away from devices and the television. Bake, paint, garden, swimming, hillwalking, go to the beach, the forest, socialise with others, talk, sing without the phone. The body needs fresh air and oxygen that is not recycled from indoors. It aids with better sleep and regulation of emotions.

Why waves heal.

The sound of the waves does more than soothe. It recalibrates your nervous system.

Let's take a pause together to reset.

Anyone struggling with emotional reactivity, feeling overwhelmed, struggling to regain calm once upset.

I invite you to take 5 minutes to just listen to this.

We need both light and dark to gain balance, undestanding, perspective and deepen love.

Don't be afraid to feel what you are truly feeling. The point is to listen to what's inside. To feel it. To give it space to breath and to hear what is underneath the anger, blame, judgement, criticism, projection, and envy. Don't allow fear to keep you locked in that pattern of reaction.

Creativity isn't a luxury, it's our life force. It's how we breathe meaning into the world, and without it, I was surviving, not living.

Then came mindfulness. Not as a fix, but as a gentle invitation through breath, stilness. With the teachings of the Buddhist community, I began to compost the deadwood. The grief. The shame. The stories that kept me small,and in that fertile soil, something stirred.

A rebirth.

My creative flow returned, not as performance, but as presence. It now breathes life into everything I do. My art. My movement. My writing. My work with others. This is what I help people reclaim.

Autumn as a Teacher

Looking back I see how much I resisted change even though I believed l didnt.

I clung for dear life to the familiar but change arrives like an uninvited guest inevitably,
Growth is uncomfortable because like any growing pains, it asks us to stretch. To let go, and trust that change is nothing to fear.

Training in Mindfulness has helped me cultivate a much more courageous and kinder heart firstly towards myself to soften the fear and anxiety turned inward that continually sabotaged my lit life, then outwards to embrace life rather than run from it.
