Addictions

Prevention is better than cure

Before addiction sets in

For a long time, it’s been known that it takes 21 days to pick up or break an addiction or habit. South Africa, we have 21 days given to us for picking up or breaking, the choice is yours to make, will you be picking up a great habit that will prolong or increase the quality of your life or picking up an addiction that is going to do the opposite  

Lockdown days

I felt that I was spending way too much time on my phone, due to this pandemic and the 21-day lockdown, everyone has more time to do anything they please to do at home and not knowingly social media has become the number one thing to do from Whatsapp, Instagram, Twitter or TikTok. Saturday day 2 I felt I was on my phone all day I remember telling myself Friday night I need to prepare everything for the braai on Saturday evening, Saturday time seemed so fast and the next thing I know it was 8 pm watching a movie and I did not braai.

Know yourself

I immediately noticed that this could be a problem if every day was like day 2, I decided that Sunday day 3 would be a no phone day for me luckily I don’t have an addictive personality and I notice this issue a and immediately did the evaluation.

Only you can make the change

You may have other potential issues or want to develop good habits; I think these 21 days are a great way to make changes break bad habit or addictions. But we need to evaluate our lives and constantly brainstorm think about the consequences of the choices or habits we make or have.

Lets keep it positive and comment with, what good changes you have made?
