Video Games drain me

General Discussion
#1

Hello Everyone,

I want to have your opinion, I love playing video games but I feel it drains me of my energy.
Also I am not very satisfied with my life in general, I often spend my weekend playing video games because I don’t know what else to do.

One part of me wants to quit and live more fully my life
The second part of me Likes the confort, and is afraid because I don’t know what to do to replace this habit.

Ultimately what I would like to do is to play video games in a balanced way, but it’s very difficult to do that, when I plan to do that I am either playing a lot or not at all but I end up frustrated.

I feel playing video game is too entertainning, to play with balance is something I have never achieved yet…

What is your opinion on that?

I haven’t played video games in weeks (well, I’ve been playing on my phone though, small games, I mean that I haven’t touched PC games for a short while), Idk if not more and I’m a huge fan of a few Paradox Games (Crusader Kings II and III, Europa Universalist IV).

I am fine without them, but I am going to start some new campaigns, I still have not conquered the world (well, without cheats I mean lol, otherwise, I’m Emperor and God lol, as it should be lol)…

Hmm, from which lowly count or countess or from which lowly tribesmen should I build an Empire to rule over the Continents and the Oceans? :thinking:

Now, now, I’m losing track here lol, back to your question…

Just play games or don’t, you’ll be fine either way lol.

And the Award for Worst advice goes to…
Lol

Edit: Maybe you just need better nutrition or something.
How’s your protein or maybe you’re not sleeping enough? :thinking:
Play some PONR and Chakras fields, also some fields for Higher Self, to be inspired and guided, use cards, mandalas, sigils, servitors, whatever helps and you’ll have no trouble, with/in time…

Or, Brain fields, loop Brain Regeneration or try some New Amazing Manhattan Fields.
(haven’t touched those, yet, but I bet they are Awesome)

To me, video games are another way of experiencing life.

And yeah can be draining, they are also called esports, when u go pro.

But its still an esport even if ur not pro, ur doing all the trraining. Hours and hours… to get better.

Its normal to get drained and tired.

Refill with Jing, chi, shen, ojas, brain refresher.

But i dont know about the balance part. Video games do take lots of physical world life away.

You know they are over 30, when they call it “playing video games” instead of “gaming”…

:laughing: :joy: :stuck_out_tongue:

You already know what you need to do obviously…
Yes you will quit them for now (for your own good)
No, they are not gone forever
Yes you will return to them later on
And yes, when you do, they will feel fun

Here in Germany, most people say “PC game” (and “App game” for mobile phone games).

Yes I was wondering if other people felt this dilemma.
I will now re-focus on other things and then come back to video games later like you say ;)

Gaming did get out of balance for me, so I sold my TV. I’ll allow it back in someday

Since I discovered Sapien I didn’t have time to play games anymore so I don’t know if they drain me or not.

This happened to me too.
I used to love gaming, but I get so dizzy now or fed up when I play anything.

I post random fortnite clips of mine.

The scenery looks beautiful :heart_eyes:

The hard truth is you probably need to stop playing video games for a while and reset your dopamine baseline.

To me, this sounds like an addiction more than a habit, so spending some time away will benefit you immensely and help you put thing into perspective. This will force you to step out of your confort zone and explore other areas of your life. You are currently not happy with your life and who you are, so take your time to think about these things and meditate on it. You can’t be happy if you’re slaved by something! I’m sure the time off will allow you to appreciate gaming even more whenever you decide to get back to it.
