How to Get Rid of Gaming Addiction: 5 Tips from a Psychologist
In the early stages of gaming addiction, you can get rid of the harmful craving for games on your own.
The advice shared by psychologists will help you with this.
1. Limit play time.
To begin with, set a limit of 2-3 hours. After that, gradually reduce the time allotted for games. And be sure to designate a time for games - it is better if you allow yourself to play during the day.
2. Get rid of all visual paraphernalia, including clothing and accessories, that you associate with the game.
3. Fill your free time with various activities. You can play sports, fish, even just go for walks, etc.
4. Ask your loved ones to support you.
5. To maintain motivation, come up with punishments and rewards for yourself.
For example, if you break down, do 10 push-ups or learn 15 foreign words. If you hold on, reward yourself with a chocolate bar or watching your favorite movie.
If your efforts have been in vain and you have not been able to overcome your addiction to games, do not despair – contact a specialist who will draw up a treatment and rehabilitation plan.
