turn the power off and lay a few books and or magazines by the video games.
Or set aside separate time for doing other things besides video games.
Example:
video games from 3 -4pm
watching tv from 4-6pm
reading books 1-2…
it’s totally up to you on how you perceive and decide to live your life, not everyone believes that video games are a waste of time, after all it is possible to learn something, especially from strategy games, but I think that reading is important and everyone should be doing more of just that.
Give yourself time limits If you can
You’ll have to bite the bullet. It’s like quitting smoking cold turkey–you have to know it’s an addiction and know that quitting or limiting it will only do you good. Set aside certain hours that you will play. Even if you miss part of that time, don’t “make up the time.” If you can, disable the game when you’re finished, so it takes real effort to start back up. I’ve seen my husband quit smoking. He had a heart attack, and was driving (yes, he drove himself) to the hospital and started to pull out a cigarette! He looked at it, said, “What the h–l am I doing?”, and never smoked again. It helped that he had me throw out all the cigarettes in the house, so he would have had to drive down to the store just to buy the cigarettes.
Get rid of the games, or take it apart and put it away. If you can not discipline yourself.
I used to be so into video games. I guess i was a bit addicted to it. Oh thank God I stopped. I no longer have any interest in them.
I think you need to be aware of your thoughts. The mind is very powerful, so if you are constantly walking around entertaining video game thoughts then you’d probably end up going to play them. My point is try not to think about video games. Rather focus your mind on other important things.
You need to replace the video game with something else. Find something else that you love, which you would do instead of video games.
