Internet and video game addiction starts young. Most young men are given computer or video games when they are five or six years old and therefore their childhood development is profoundly wired for these activities. Impact of the addiction causing their health getting poor, their social relationships have turned to crap, and they have no social confidence or real-world friends.
Most of the people wanted to have life balance between technology and social life. Somehow, they just can’t let go their iPhone, Smartphone from their hand in updating their status in social media. Here are some tips on how to curb your internet addiction that may help you put all your gadgets de-activated for a while;
Do something in real life. After a particularly long online browsing session, do something productive offline. Go for a walk outside for instant. Get a fresh air and try to relax your muscles. It may help you to be away from continuously browsing the internet. You also can fulfill your time by having dinner with your friends outside, playing football, watching movies, or cook for your family in order for you to get close and in touch with your love ones.
Use the Internet for the same amount of time each time you use it. In other words, don’t say “I’ll only be on an hour today.” and then be on 5 hours the next and think you did well. A good time for daily Internet usage is 1 hour, or 2 hours at the most. You can set a timer for this so you do not go off track. By doing this, you actually be able to control yourself by not keeping on using the internet. You may only use the internet when you have something to do with such online payment for bills, replying urgent emails etc.
Try deactivating (not deleting) your personal Facebook/ Twitter account. Trust me; you won’t miss it as much as you think you might. You can always reactivate it, but taking a break might do you some good.
Delete accounts that you really don’t need anymore. How many websites are there that you have accounts on that you don’t 100% need? YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, MySpace… sometimes people need their MySpace or Facebook for important things, like keeping in touch with people who don’t live nearby, but YouTube and Twitter and Facebook are normally the accounts that MUST be deleted. Twitter/ Facebook is such a waste of time, and it’s quite addicting, while YouTube is also addicting, and people you don’t know want to interact too much. If you don’t want to delete your account, just block the pages.
Be sure to maintain lots of offline activities. Have plenty of things to do that you enjoy. If you don’t have other hobbies, start looking for some. Travelling might be good if you are affordable to do so. Visiting new place and new culture will actually broaden your knowledge and experience too. You may surprise for something that you even don’t know of its existing. So, by any chance if you have please go for travel. Volunteering can be a great way to get you out and about doing something useful/ helpful to the community. Do whatever you want just to maintain lots of offline activities.
All of these tips are not that you can’t use the Internet at all, but use the right amount of time you’re supposed/ you need to. Live your life more fully; go out, hang out with your friends, see a movie. Please remember what you’ve seen, this will change your life toward a great happy ordinary human being. Please stop using the Internet so much, for your own good. Be active and free now, get off your computer, have fun and do your work/ job away from the electronic task-maker!
