Soul Sparks
Finding Your Inner Light: Mindfulness, Doomscrolling and Good News with Sam Brooks
Are you waiting for inspiration to find you? This episode of Soul Sparks is for anyone who feels disconnected, overstimulated, and unsure where their spark went. Sam Brooks explains why your inner light starts as a small spark you nurture, how constant news and scrolling quietly drain you, and why the most sustainable mindfulness is the one you'll actually keep doing. About the Guest: Sam Brooks is the founder of Rally News, a free aggregator that gathers uplifting stories from trusted publishers into one scrollable feed. Based in Berlin, he's a runner and self-described politics nerd who rebuilt his own relationship with the news. Key Takeaways: Inner light isn't found. It starts as a small curiosity you follow and nurture with action. You can't force realisations. Create space for them and notice when they arrive. Noticing you're not present, without judging it, is already a form of mindfulness. Constant news and a phone in your pocket raise stress more than you think. Attach a small, enjoyable practice to a habit you already have, like your first coffee.
