Man, it sure is good for me taking a break from time to time.
Just the change of environment is doing me good.
As a creature of habit, I tend to do the same things every day.
Most of it involving Steem in one way or another.
And that can get too much I am now starting to notice to the point where it gets in the way.
Sometimes (most of the time) when I'm playing a game, or watching a movie or being around other people I have felt my mind drifting to Steem even if I don't want it.
I don't know if anyone else recognizes this but it's the truth.
More so then ever after #newsteem I have become aware of it now and I'm actively fighting it.
I don't think it's healthy for me to be this 'obsessed' with how Steem is doing all the time but I never really noticed I was doing it.
Taking a break from Steem helps (Remember I blogged for 2,5 years straight every day, before I finally took my first break in #newsteem).
Yesterday I spend most of the day playing a SNES classic.
Castlevenia IV for the SNES.
I had so much fun, I love these old skool games.
@ezzy and I ended up clocking the game by defeating Dracula at around 23:00 and all that time I was just 'in the moment'.
Afterward, we watched one of the greatest simple fun action movies of all time: Commando with Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Just simple plain old fun. I need more of this. I think it's healthy.
Therefore, I believe I will have to find a new way to balance how I operate on Steem.
I'm always interested in everything Steem but I guess I don't need to know about it every second of every day all the time.
Not sure if there is anything like a Steem addiction but if there is I think I'm an addict :)
