Actually, I wouldn’t mind weakening the preference for video games. There have been strange times in the past (before I targeted video games as this much of a detriment) where I’d start to think of playing a game as me sitting infront of a screen wasting time slapping buttons to move pixels way with zero reward outside of some kind of immediate psychological masturbation that’s 100% useless outside of the context of the game itself.
If you can believe it, my immediate reaction was akin to someone thinking of something immoral: “No, no. Don’t think that way—it’s wrong.”
It’s a thought I’ve been purposely cultivating now. Maybe not as harshly, but I want to use it as a tool.
