Addiction is something we humans can't escape, even the richest people among us have something they're addicted to, It might either be good or bad but that "addicted" is there. One thing I know about the world is that it's a place filled with challenges, it's either from yourself or from others. The worst part of it is the challenges that has to do with oneself.
When you have to deal with yourself in a way that will leave you dismantled because you're trying to fix yourself or adjust a mistake you made.
The fact about all this challenges is that it's very hard to overcome, even if you put more effort to overcome it, it sometimes don't work. One way I know to overcome some certain challenges is to relax, move gradually and be focused, it has really helped me a lot.
One thing I believe is that we have the power to say "NO" to some certain things as we normally do when we're given a bad advice. When I realized this was when I was four years old that was when I noticed that I was in control of my hands and legs,that means I own my body and I decides what happens to it and was I want to do,I decide what hose iny mind and what don't.
That was when I began to take full responsibility of everything I do, either good or bad, no more pushing blames to something or someone.
To me, engaging in something that may lead to addiction is a choice, because before it leads to addiction, you most have noticed the signs and changes it's bringing up. Well, some people don't notice it they just feel it's a normal thing untill they get addicted to it. And that's when they notice then try to stop the actions, but it might be too late for them and it takes much works and the grace of God to quit.
I'm not trying to say I'm perfect, nah, I also have some weakness concerning my ways of living. There are some things I do that i regret doing because it was a waste of time to me. There are also times I have to beat myself to accomplish a daily task.
YouTube is my best site, though I like tiktok but not as youtube. I can spend my work hours on youtube without even knowing, expect something else dragged my attention.
The thing is that I normally watch tutorials or life educating vedios there, but I don't keep time for those things. Sometimes I use time for other things to watch those vedios. I could remember a day i wanted to make a post on Hive, but I was Carried away by some interesting vedios on youtube.
Sometimes after a long time watching vedios I laugh at myself and promise to watch less the next day, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
The reason i got addicted to this habit was that I don't know how to minimize my time. And that's one thing am trying to fix.
Thank you for reading.
