Why You Should Stop Playing Video Games

Why You Should Stop Playing Video Games
1. A Waste of Time
Let’s start with the obvious. You can easily spend a lot of time playing video games. 3 hours, 4, hours, 5 hours,
where does all this time go? It’s easy to lose track of time when you indulge in video gaming frequently. All that
valuable time can be used for something more productive like learning a new skill or working out.
We all have 24 hours in a day, and it’s up to you to use that time wisely.
2. Video Games Are Costly

Video games can be very costly. Every year, new gaming titles and consoles are released and these costs can
easily add up. It can be exciting to grab the latest title of your favorite sports game, but this is money that can be
used elsewhere. What if you invested in a book instead, how would that affect your life in the long run?
When you cut down on buying the video game, you can save some extra money which can be used for more
important things like investing or starting your own business.
3. Video Games Promote Social Isolation

Video games now allow gamers to play anyone in the online world. This is awesome, right? But if you think
again is it really that good?
Online gaming creates an illusion, the same way, social media works. You’re living in a digital world that seems
real but you’re really not creating any genuine relationships.
If you are substituting socializing in real life for video gaming, it’s time to sound the alarms.
4. Distracts You from Achieving Your Goals

Humans are naturally goal seekers. We want to feel accomplished and live a life of purpose and meaning. Most
often gaming only masks and covers this natural desire by rewarding you with fake accolades and achievements.
With time, an individual can become depressed because it’s not a genuine feeling of fulfillment.
Procrastination is the leech of all hopes and dreams, and If you are not careful, excessive gaming can shatter your
dreams.
5. Gaming Makes You Lazy

This goes in line with the last item. Generally, you can get used to being lazy if you’re inactive for long periods of
time. This is a bad habit you don’t want to pick up. Laziness will not help you in any way.
If you find yourself playing a lot of video games, it’s time to take a hard look at your life and assess if you are
contempt with the life you’re living right now.
