Barbara Graham,
in her article “Confessions of a Quit addict” says her addition to quitting
gave her “a rush”, “a charge”, “a biochemical buzz”. In my case, cellular phone
addiction provided me those exciting feelings. I used to play games, text with
friends and watch YouTube almost whole free time! However, I lost my benefits
while I am raptured by this amazing machine.
First of all, I cannot
concentrate my work. I have a lot of stuff to study and plans to work on.
However, game sound I just played, funny jokes in the text and the images from
YouTube which I watched impressively keep ringing in my head. I have to
struggle with those while working and of course, progress did not going well.
Also I have no time to start new activity. Our world is full of entertainment!
I want to go Africa and watch the sunrise at dune 45 with my best friends.
Learning how to play drum and keyboard is also great thing. But temptation of
using my phone bothers all these wonderful things.
To get rid of
it, I need to find and work on something interesting which can remove my
interest from this habit. Having exercising and go to training center can be
one of them. I heard that if people move their body, they do not think other
things except what they are working on that very time. Or I can start music
with my friends. In the above, I wrote that I do not have time for learning
instruments. However, starting something I am interested in with someone else
might be more interesting than just looking on the screen of my cellular phone.
After I get rid
of cellular phone addiction, my life will change drastically. I can focus on
anything I do in that very time. Which means, I can be more faithful in living
my life.
JongJin, I understand! I have a hard time reading through all these blogs without getting distracted, as well. Welcome to the struggle of the new age.
