Over a month without video games
Over a month without video games
This is my update after 39 days putting my Xbox away, what
have I learnt so far, I think the main thing is the fact I’m not really
concerned about games at the moment, not to say my life is more interesting or I
have started a new hobbies, just in conversation about video games or adverts
of new games that have come out. I am not really that interested, I am still
not interested in getting my Xbox out just yet and I haven’t downloaded any
games for my smart phone.
I am glad I deleted the aps of my phone with the games as
they were simple and addictive, where you spend an hour or so trying to get to
the next level and then want to get to the next level
The last month or so has been odd, I know I haven’t played
computer games but I can’t think what I’ve done to replace them , perhaps it’s
an extra 30 minutes watching YouTube
more, or another 30 mines here and there to fill the time.
Being the wintery months I even didn’t go to the gym much
this month so there has been more time, I’ve checked my diary and think allot
of the time over the last month was just pondering and thinking more aka
staring at a wall or a blank Google search box thinking what to type.
I reduced my Facebook time right down as well, think with
that and video games often instead of quitting completely when you start to
notice it being used allot just have a few days of like a reset, then when you
come back it’s at a reduced rate.
I’ve spent more money since not playing games, the problem
with not sitting in your house is you’re out and about and the majority of the
time the wallet is out. Not complaining just noticed the money you spend on
games is lower than the amount you would spend on going out an extra 4 or 5
times a month.
I remember how I was getting edgy and angry at the computer
games, that is the reason I still don’t want to play, I don’t want the tension and stress in my
shoulders and neck while playing the
computer and being killed.
Haven’t sold my computer or games, still like the fact if I want
a game on the Xbox then I can, I’ve still got my online membership to Xbox
live.
My social skills or other aspects of my life still remain
the same, just one less thing to think about.
