As a kid, I didn’t understand English for the first few years of my early life, but I LOVED movies and soundtracks. In retrospect, I think I clung onto the music so much more than most kids because it helped me understand the plot in the absence of dialogue.
That being said: The Incredibles was one of my favorite movies (which we watched on our big box TV) because of how exhilarating and suspenseful it felt as a kid— all thanks to the amazing jazz soundtrack. Highly recommend listening to it, and if you haven’t watched the movie it‘s completely fine; imo this soundtrack is one you can vibe and enjoy without any plot context

I specifically listen to the how to train your dragon soundtrack 1) because I like the series and 2) it's super motivating. superhero movie soundtracks also work but I would just pick your favorite movie and see if it works for you
(link is the playlist i listen to if you want to check it out)

when i was in middle school i read this book and the main character listened exclusively to movie soundtracks because it makes them feel like they’re in a movie and that one really struck a chord within me and i’ve been a movie/tv/video game soundtrack devotee since, here are some favorites:
-moonlight
-if beale street could talk
-fantastic mr.fox
-the place between the pines
-arrival
-the goldfinch
-the imitation game
-little ms sunshine
-amnesia: a machine for pigs
-arrival
-the leftovers

With all of the arcs, there’s a real advantage to listening to soundtracks in studio. I started listening to Desplat’s soundtrack for Birth a month ago after rewatching the movie (and realizing how the entire movie relies on the soundtrack) and now I’m hooked on his entire discography. You know something good is gonna happen when the shape of water pops up.Also strangely love all of the French Dispatch songs (might even watch the movie some day)

My steps:
1. Shut my phone down, hide it in my room, and lock the door so it's a pain in the ass to get to.
2. Be bored, and sit in the boredom for like 7-10 minutes (MINIMUM)-- once you're bored see what your brain gravitates to beyond The Screen (is it doodling? is it playing guitar? is it writing?)
3. Find the little thing your brain latches on to, and start doing it! Even if it's something goofy like "Just Dance youtube videos" to dance to LOL this is you, deliberately following your brain's natural curiosity & interest
And then rinse and repeat however you like <3 Once you get accustomed to the smaller, more gratifying feel good activities, social media starts to feel too overwhelming to even pick back up again-- you'll be reaching for it less and less
(a final aside: I am of the major belief that creativity & imagination is critical to creating a better reality to live in, because it shows that you're capable of leaning into what "doesn't exist", and are courageous enough to imagine and build a reality that defies the status quo. but that's just me LOL)
