I personally use Loop Quiet 2 earplugs for concerts, and recently started using them for parties. Sometimes at The Function we take a few drinks, but I tend to get overstimulated by the party noise when I'm drunk and get really bad emotional/sensory burnout by the end of the night.
Ever since I started wearing earplugs I've been able to enjoy the whole night with no emotional sensory crashout!! The environment is so much less overwhelming and tbh I don't think I'm ever going back

The Quiet version - great for concerts or sleep. The Engage version - great for conversations in loud restaurants or parties. These really mute a lot of cross noise and make it more comfortable to be out and about if loud noise drains you. Theyβre comfortable and come in nice colors. Each pack includes a cute and durable case and multiple sized plugs so you can choose the ones that fit you best.

Finally got a chance to break in these bad boys. Way better than normal earplugs, somehow these just quiet the sound without deadening it and disconnecting me from the experience. Also the black keys still rock

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)
