Please postmaxxers read this, I dedicated a huge amount of time to write this.
1 week ago I posted this thread below
and everyone started to say that: "this is stupid", "this won't work" , "cope", "dopamine detox is bullshit", "the only self improvements that make sense are the ones that improve looks like surgerymaxx, seamaxx, gymmaxx, etc".
What really bothers me is that everything for you is cope...
If a person wants to improve his life is cope and if a person wants to play video game all day is cope.
If anything is cope then why don't you cope with something that is really worth it instead of just LDAR?
One week ago I decided that I'll change my life and stop playing video games. tbh it has been 8 years that I've been playing videos games and I don't remember the last time I stopped playing for 1 week and I don't remember the last time I studied for 1 week tbh.
This time I really want to change my life. I got tired of playing video games and don't do anything all day.
I didn't have any hobby beyond gaming. I didn't enjoy playing videos games anymore... I just played because I didn't have anything more interesting to do in my life, but in my inside I had a wish to do something different. I always wanted to be the others, but I've never been anyone beyond me. Now I stopped trying to be anyone's else and I'm trying to be what I should be since the beginning... be myself. What I'm doing now I feel that I should be doing this for years, but the gaming addiction and laziness was destroying my life and stopping me to know new hobbies and new ways to enjoy my life. I was feeling always tired and depressed and now I'm feeling a little bit happier.
All these occupations made me a happier person at the end of the day. It's pretty satisfying at the end of the day you reward yourself for everything you've done.
In 1 week I started to:
Study English and Math
Write a journal
Read the bible
Meditate
and I learned how to solve the Rubik's cube.
The Rubik's cube was a perfect activity to replace gaming and It's my new hobby right now.
I have a graph of how many minutes I've been dedicating to my studies.
17/03 I tried to study a little, but unfortunately I didn't continue to study...
It has been 7 days that I'm dedicating some minutes of my day to study and it's a little now, but after a month when it becomes an habit I'll be studying like a demon.
I never put so much effort in something like this before and I was never disciplined in my life and I'm trying to develop this skill now. All my previous projects were abandoned due to laziness, lack of motivation and gaming. After I created my journal I started to develop self-discipline because I was beginning to understand myself. All my thoughts, feelings, frustrations, victories and failures are being recorded there and when I read my journal I know how to improve myself because I know what mistakes I made yesterday. I've always been shy and when I started to write I started to notice things about myself that I never had noticed before.
After a month I'll be back to show you the graph again and new things I will have learned.
I'm recording my journey on Game Quitters https://forum.gamequitters.com/index.php?/topic/8670-edfechs-journal/&tab=comments#
This journal is more simplified than my personal one that I created on Evernote.
Let's keep fighting
