Resonant_Shell Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 (edited) Who am I, and where I am from? I am 25 years old. I live in the United States of America (born and raised). I started playing video games as early as age 13, possibly earlier. I started with lots of flash games, old Runescape, Playstation 1 games, Facebook games, Steam games, mobile games, Nintendo Switch games, and recently Steam games...again. This isn't my first time going "cold turkey" from gaming: I did so starting from my second sophomore semester in college. I still wasted time on the internet though. After getting a job, I had spurts of mobile gaming. Later, after purchasing a Nintendo Switch, I ended up separating the console and the controllers. Recently, I ended up gaming again after building a replacement computer for working from home: It started with gaming with colleagues once a week for a couple of hours. It wasn't enough for me. After staying up until 3:00 AM multiple nights, my ability to work was impacted. I knew I couldn't continue gaming. I let my colleagues know I would be going through this program. They were surprisingly understanding. In vague terms, my main goal is "to stop stagnating in life." If I attempt to make that more specific, it doesn't seem like I can narrow it down to just one goal: Maintaining healthy sleep/exercise schedules. Going out in nature instead of being on screens all of the time. Cooking and eating healthy/eating less instead of eating out/eating too much. Keeping my apartment clean. Creating and following a planned routine (short and long term), versus mindless internet browsing. Not masturbating (a strange habit anyways considering that doing so almost never involves pornography). Keeping in touch with my family. There are also goals that seem more difficult to pursue: Praying, reading the Bible, and going to church on a regular basis. Learning to play a musical instrument--perhaps my strongest desire. Not overthinking the above two goals (assuming I'm condemned to Hell, assuming that having music as a hobby will separate me from God, etc.) Figuring out how to socialize. Then, doing so in person on a somewhat regular basis. Lastly, I have some miscellaneous goals (create a blog, start investing, take some online courses, etc.) I think I managed to order those goals fairly well. However, I will want to regularly go through the Respawn program material and journal daily on this forum. I hope that doing so can help me begin working on the rest of those goals. Who am I? I am a man with a lot of work to do... Edited August 7, 2021 by Resonant_Shell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
