Using Natural Breaks Trick
Make use of Natural Breaks
- If you find you are caught up in your online activities, it may seem impossible to stop. However, you can more easily break your addiction with the aid of physical distance between you and the cause of the addiction (in this case the computer). This is a common psychologists’ trick to ending addictive behaviors.
- Make use of natural breaks to achieve this — such as going to the bathroom, getting water, tea, or food, when others speak to you, or when answering the telephone. Put a guitar or a computer game in another room, and allow yourself to play it when you want. You will find that once in a different room, you will be more in control. You will be able to see your best future cause of action, and redirect your day as will help you best.
