Why Screens Make You Feel Slow, Unmotivated, or ‘Not Yourself’

And why it's not your personality — it’s your nervous system

I’ll start with a simple observation from my own life.

Over the years, I noticed a consistent pattern:

the more time I spent on screens — phone, computer, tablet, TV — the less “myself” I felt afterward.

Not emotionally.

Functionally.

After enough time on a device, I would feel:

• slower

• less motivated

• less clear

• less connected to my body

• less interested in doing anything active

And this isn’t new.

At 15 years old, before any of the work I do today, even two minutes on a new electronic device were enough to alter my brain timing for three days.

Back then, I didn’t have the concepts to explain it — I just knew something shifted.

Today, with an optimized nervous system and years of deeper work behind me, the effect is far smaller…

but it’s still noticeable.

And many of my clients report the same phenomenon.

This isn’t personality.

It isn’t laziness.

It isn’t lack of willpower.

It’s neurology.

Screens temporarily change how your brain, body, and field organize themselves.

Below is the clearest explanation of why this happens — and why certain people (especially perceptive, sensitive, somatic, or field-oriented individuals) feel the effects more strongly.

SCREENS SHRINK YOUR AWARENESS (AND YOUR DESIRE WITH IT)

Your natural awareness is wide, open, spatial.

It takes the whole room, the whole environment, the whole field.

Screens compress your perception into a tiny rectangle.

Your brain shifts from:

open → narrow

alive → compressed

curious → passive

After enough time in that “narrow mode,” life doesn’t feel appealing.

Movement doesn’t feel appealing.

Intimacy doesn’t feel appealing.

Not because you don’t want these things…

…but because your field collapsed.

SCREENS ALTER YOUR DOPAMINE BASELINE

Scrolling gives you fast, meaningless dopamine droplets.

Your brain adapts by lowering its baseline.

So when real life asks you to:

go outside,

start a task,

connect,

create,

or be intimate…

…it feels heavy.

Not because you lack passion —

but because your dopamine system was just overstimulated and now feels “empty.”

SCREENS DISCONNECT YOU FROM YOUR BODY

When you’re on a device, your awareness leaves your body.

Interoception — the ability to feel your emotions, your hunger, your desire, your needs — drops dramatically.

That’s why after screens, people often say:

“I don’t feel anything.”

“I don’t know what I want.”

“I feel numb.”

“I’m not interested.”

It’s not emotional dysfunction —

it’s sensory disconnection.

SCREENS DISRUPT YOUR BIOELECTRIC RHYTHM

(This is the part I’ve lived since I was 15.)

Some nervous systems — especially perceptive ones — react strongly to EMF exposure.

The effects are subtle but real:

slower cognitive timing

reduced reflexes

mild fog

narrowed perception

flattened emotional tone

difficulty accessing desire

Before I had Shungite, grounding practices, and years of nervous-system work,

it took me three full days to recover from just a few minutes of exposure.

Today the effect is way smaller — but still noticeable.

When my system is optimized, even a little screen time brings a little contraction.

Not dangerous.

Just noticeable.

Because the contrast is so clear.

MOTIVATION DOESN’T DISAPPEAR — IT COLLAPSES

Here’s the part most people feel but don’t know how to describe:

Your ambition is not gone.

Your desire is not gone.

Your excitement is not gone.

It’s just that your field is too compressed to access them.

Screens put you in a “collapsed field” state.

And when your field collapses, your desire collapses with it.

That’s why:

You know going for a walk is good, but don’t want to.

You love your partner, but feel no spark.

You care about your projects, but can’t initiate.

You enjoy movement, but feel too heavy.

It’s not who you are.

It’s how your nervous system is functioning at that moment.

YOU ARE NOT SLOW — YOU ARE OVERSTIMULATED

Many highly perceptive people (like you… like many of my clients) feel screens more intensely.

Because your natural state is:

wide

alert

sensitive

coherent

alive

interconnected

field-based

Screens are the opposite of that.

So the crash feels stronger.

Not because you’re weak —

because you’re tuned.

THE HOPEFUL PART — YOUR SYSTEM KNOWS HOW TO REOPEN

The moment you step away from the screen and reconnect with your body, your environment, your breath, or your feet…

your system begins to expand again.

You rediscover:

motivation

desire

clarity

creativity

playfulness

connection

sexual energy

presence

intuition

The real you comes back online.

Not with discipline.

Not with force.

But with decompression.

IF YOU FEEL THIS IN YOUR OWN LIFE…

You’re not alone.

You’re not broken.

You’re not “unmotivated.”

You’re simply living in a world that collapses your nervous system dozens of times a day.

And your system is sensitive — not fragile — which means it’s showing the truth before others feel it.

WHAT HELPED ME (AND WHAT HELPS MY CLIENTS) STAY CLEAR, ALIVE, AND RESILIENT AROUND SCREENS

The effects I described above are real — but they don’t have to control your life.

Over the years, I experimented, tested, and refined what actually stabilizes the nervous system in a world full of screens and EMF.

Four things made the biggest difference for me:

1. SHUNGITE — REDUCING THE ELECTRICAL OVERLOAD

When I was younger, EMF exposure would disrupt my cognitive timing for days.

Shungite was the first tool that noticeably changed that.

Not because it blocks all EMF —

but because it interrupts the entrainment between your brain’s natural rhythms and the device’s frequency output.

This results in:

• less fog

• less contraction

• faster recovery

• more emotional coherence

• better access to desire and motivation

Necklaces, bracelets, or small pieces kept on you during screen time all create a measurable difference for sensitive systems.

It doesn’t replace nervous-system work —

but it reduces the impact enough for your system to function instead of collapse.

For perceptive or sensitive systems, this is not subtle — it’s stabilizing.

2. BLUE-LIGHT GLASSES — PROTECTING THE BRAIN’S VISUAL & HORMONAL RHYTHM

Blue-light–blocking glasses helped in a different way.

Screens don’t just compress your visual field —

they overstimulate your retinal and circadian systems, which directly influence:

• dopamine

• serotonin

• melatonin

• alertness

• motivation

• emotional tone

Blue-light glasses reduce the overstimulation and help your brain stay:

• more present

• less fatigued

• less “collapsed”

• more emotionally available

• more capable of switching tasks

They don’t eliminate the effects of screens,

but they significantly reduce the neurological cost of using them.

For people like us — who feel sensory shifts quickly — it makes screen exposure more manageable.

3. Q-TECHNOLOGY — REAL-TIME SENSORY STABILIZATION

Q-Technology is built to support orientation, coherence, and sensory clarity.

When I added Q-Technology into my shoes, the change was immediate:

• my field stayed open instead of collapsing

• my posture and reflexes stayed stable after screens

• recovery from overstimulation became faster

• the “slowed down” feeling disappeared more quickly

It acts like a continuous micro-recalibration — keeping the nervous system organized even when the environment isn’t.

For many clients, this is the first time they experience real stability in a digital world.

4. NERVOUS SYSTEM OPTIMIZATION — THE FOUNDATION THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING

This is the work I do, and the reason the effects of screens are now tiny compared to what they used to be.

When your system is optimized:

• your perceptual field is wider

• your brain processes faster

• your emotional range stays intact

• your reflexes remain sharp

• your energy recovers quickly

• your desire and motivation are accessible again

Screens may still create a contraction —

but your system knows how to re-expand, naturally and efficiently.

This work restores:

• interoception (feeling yourself again)

• sensory integration

• spatial coherence

• emotional stability

• bioelectric rhythm

• functional mobility and timing

With an optimized system, you don’t need to avoid screens —

you simply don’t collapse from them.

Your body knows how to reorganize, instead of shutting down.

This is what makes the difference between:

“I recover in 3 days”

vs.

“I recover in 30 seconds.”

In Other Words

• Shungite reduces the electromagnetic overload.

• Blue-light glasses reduce the visual and hormonal overload.

• Q-Technology stabilizes your sensory and spatial systems in real time.

• Nervous-system optimization gives your system the capacity to stay open, resilient, and functional.

Together, they turn a vulnerable nervous system into a resilient one.

You don’t lose yourself after screens anymore.

You come back to yourself — quickly, clearly, naturally.
