Digital Resilience and Wellbeing

Social Media Energy Report 2025: Patterns, Predictions and Potentials.

In these ever shifting times and the ultra fast-paced flow of information, many of us can find ourselves feeling untethered, reacting to the online world rather than engaging with it intentionally. I know I have fallen down 23,000 rabbit holes about all the happenings in America, and across the world, over the past few weeks. 🕳️

Global chaos and crazy news cycles, often pull me into patterns of scrolling and rabbit holing. This can serve as an invitation for me to pause, reflect, and realign—a chance to set boundaries and create a healthier relationship with the digital realm. I always know I’m on the edge when I find myself excited (solar plexus gets super whirly) to settle down with my phone and scroll the shit out of it… 👀🙋🏽‍♀️

I need to watch out, as there are some pretty big astrological themes, with some crazy potentials bubbling for the collective for 2025, which means the need for more resilience in order to manage my wellbeing.

I’m talking better boundaries, alongside taking all the opportunities for grounding (exercising, getting into nature, breathing etc.) And consciously communicating with one another. [Note to self stop sending every Reel I see about drones and aliens to my besties]. 👽👁️

I think for 2025, and for our digital resilience and wellbeing, this is going to be paramount. I am welcoming this as an opportunity to centre myself, regulate my nervous system, and move through the next year with clarity and purpose online - rather than be pulled into a multi-media tailspin of the WTFness…

The ways we interact online—and the impact these interactions have on our emotional and mental health—are more evident than ever. The digital world acting as a mirror for the collective psyche, amplifying both our light and shadow, our soul, our essence, our ego and everything in-between!!!

Inner Unicorn Questions I have for 2025….

What am I consuming or creating/ sharing?

Am I amplifying fear or sharing light?

Am I interested in world events or am I getting high on a doom-scroll supply?

We all have the power to choose.

By becoming mindful of what I absorb and what I contribute, I can reclaim a sense of sovereignty in the digital space. Small, intentional actions like curating (muting / unfollowing) my online feed, pausing before engaging with emotionally charged content, or switching my phone into airplane mode for a few hours day, to take a walk or time away from my devices, can make a big difference.

The fluid and immersive nature of our digital world often makes it challenging to maintain emotional and energetic boundaries. Time can slip away, and the lines between connection and overwhelm blur.

As the pace of change, both technological, political and as digital information continues to accelerate, staying grounded will be really essential for us in the coming years. I was reading through some notes I’ve been scribbling this year, at Equinox I was I was working with the energy of Saint Brigit, here’s some advice she had for me….

Dear one, you need to ground more, give the energy to the ground, give the energy to the rocks, to the river, to the trees, to the ocean. Release the energy that gets trapped in your body. Scream, shout, let it all out. Help yourself on a daily basis to release the energy thats not yours to keep.

Think about how much information and emotion, between the news-cycle and the hooky posts and sales messaging, everything we unconsciously soak up on a day to day basis. Instagram, email and even our WhatsApp, where we encounter the energy and emotions of others, in our energy field everyday. This often pulls us out the moment, and out of our bodies and our own being. Grounding practices help us reconnect with the physical world and our bodies, offering stability amidst the often-disembodying nature of digital engagements.

Simple rituals, like stepping outside for fresh air, engaging our senses through nature, or pausing for a moment of deep breathing, stretching and moving our bodies can counterbalance the energy drain of excessive screen time and scrolling.

This next year will encourage us to explore our digital resilience and wellbeing, looking at our digital lives with more curiosity, learning, and conversation.

It is so important that we talk about this stuff.

I’m happy to see it making headlines in regards to our teens, but we adults have a way to go with seeing the impact high digital time is having on us, so we can help them more effectively. Read more on this here:

I’m going to round up now with a few tangible and practical ways to improve our digital resilience and wellbeing…

• Be intentional about what you consume online. Take a moment before scrolling to ask: Does this nourish me or drain me?

• Establish daily practices that protect your emotional space. This might include setting app time limits (I’ve just started using an app called Opal for this), scheduling regular screen-free moments, or creating rituals to close your digital day and switch off before bed.

• Engage in grounding practices to reconnect with the present moment. Start your day with five-ten minutes of breath-work and meditation, or take regular breaks to connect with nature throughout your day.

• Approach your online interactions with friends, family, and social media more broadly, with curiosity and care. Choose your words thoughtfully, and focus on creating connection rather than conflict.

The digital world will continue to evolve as we do, and 2025 is set to see us evolve more than ever, bringing new challenges and opportunities. One of the keys to navigating what lies ahead it will be in our resilience, in our ability to pause, reflect, and align our actions with our values.

Rather than a be mirror for the madness, lets create a reflection of the best parts of ourselves (collectively and individually) and the world we wish to create.
