Addictions, Habits, and Routines...
 [October
2021] As I wrote this piece October
2021 had just begun. When this
month comes around the event
known as 'Stoptober'
comes to mind. This is a
month-long event that is used by
those with a smoking habit they
want to quit. I think the month
can be used for all manner of
addictions and bad habits. For
me [often] my habit to curb is my
'internet addiction'; I always
want to better manage my time
online and use that time
constructively (this is one
reason why I have a website, so
that I am using my time online
in a creative and constructive
manner).
As things have
changed, 'being online' is a
state that many people are
pretty much always in, there is
no 'going offline'; this is
generally because of smartphones,
which again, many people never
switch off. Thankfully I
don't have this issue but I do sit at
a computer far
too much. I therefore made a
vain attempt to curb this in October.
The result wasn't all that
great, but I like to think I'm
constantly improving; two steps
forward and one step back is
better than no steps forward at
all.
A Tip:
Replace your habit/addiction
with something healthy. This
might involve changing your
routines; see below for my short
topic on Morning Routines.
