Studio Slow began at a point where I had enough of my own scrolling habits. I was constantly reaching for my phone without thinking. Scrolling first thing in the morning. Feeling distracted, overwhelmed, and more irritable than I wanted to be which was starting to affect my family.

I had tried to cut back before, but nothing really changed. So, I did something different. I put clear boundaries in place. I restricted Instagram, the app I was most drawn to, and gave myself a small, intentional window to use it, rather than having constant access.

This doesn’t mean you have to step away from social media completely, especially if it’s part of your work, but instead finding a way to use it more intentionally outside of work, without it taking over.

At first, it felt uncomfortable. But over 14 days, something changed. The urge to scroll started to fade. I stopped reaching for my phone the moment I woke up. There was more space in my day, I had more patience for my kids and I felt myself being fully present without distraction.

As a physiotherapist, I couldn’t ignore what was happening alongside this. The tension patterns. The mental overload. The constant stimulation my body had been sitting in. What started as a way to change a habit became a deeper understanding of how closely our digital behaviours are tied to our nervous system.

Studio Slow brings these areas togther.

Not as a strict set of rules, but as a way to help you become more aware, interrupt the scroll, and create boundaries that actually work in real life.

If you’re ready for a more structured change, you can start with the 14-day reset.

Or, if you’d prefer something smaller to begin with, there’s a simple 5-minute reset you can return to anytime.
