my four "horsemen of the apocolypse"

    Video Gaming
    9gag (i.e. wasting time on my phone, also Youtube)
    Sugar
    Porn

    And to be honest, porn is (now, I was able to reduce it to every third or fourth day) the very least problem. I note now that video Gaming has a much worse effect on my motivation to do something productive. 9Gag (wasting time on my phone) is exactly that, a time waster.

    What all of these have in common is distracting myself. It makes me flee reality to an easier, better world. This is a huge problem!! Even sugar, I only eat tons of sweets because I don't want to do anything else!

    I am doing my best now to cut these things out of my life. It works quite well for the moment. With this post I want to maybe allow you to reflect your own habits (especially video gaming) and really ask yourself, if it does you good or if it harms you.

    The central theme in all of those is the need for stimulation.
    And high stimulation desensitizes you.
    Exercise, go out in nature, meditate, go be social, try something new, join a club, read a book etc.
    Change is in the now. Not doing these things and going for the more comfortable easy thing to do is something that will catch up to anyone eventually.
    It's better to replace them with other things and find purpose in your life, because after a while those things don't even look that appealing anymore.
    For example after drinking water for a few months instead of soda's, I could longer stomach soda at all.
    It's like drinking disgusting melted candy or something lmao.
    Anyway its easier said than done in this high stimulating society and I too am still enslaved to it sadly.
