Binge watching😵

I developed this very bad habit after I joined college. For the first time in my life I was away from home where no one can stop me from using my laptop late night as a result of which I started watching Korean series. The way each episode ended tempted me to watch the next one which went on and on. I enjoyed it a lot but the problem is I started googling about the people who played these characters and also felt sad when each series ended. I stopped watching it sometime in 3rd year as I switched to movies. Now that I joined office I started again with English series.

The problem is not watching them but procrastinating your tasks for the entire day and still not stopping until it’s over. These unlimited data packs have given us more room to stream unlimited content which takes us to its own world rather than living in reality. 

I have searched a lot about how to control this urge and found out hormones like dopamine(Feel good hormone) is responsible for this behavior. Besides these technical aspects when I wanted to know what I felt after binge watching is regretting my life and scared about future. I also felt uncomfortable spending time alone and dint feel the need to organize my life by planning daily activities. The main reason people escape into binge watching is to move away from reality of life where hard work is involved.

We need to understand the fact that these are just work of other successful people which we are consuming on a daily basis and this must be a mere source of entertainment to us and not a source of distraction from actual life.  

I’m still trying my best to control my instincts but the only way is self- control by listing the tasks for the day and watching series only at the end because if you start watching this first thing in the morning then there’s no way this is gonna end. 

Also never watch it late night because when I did this and woke up in the morning I still felt my eyes burning and was tired even after a few hours of sleep. Overcoming this is definitely going to make you feel better about urself. So just live life and don’t escape from it.

    I have found that restricting my tv show watching to breaks at works is the most efficient, I club it with lunch :)

I switched my work organization😉

First of all thank you for coming here to read my blogs. I haven't posted for a long time now and believe I will be more consistent going forward.  I joined a new organization 2 days back and it feels like the best decision I have taken in a while. I believe we must all keep looking for growth in all aspects of life. Be it career or health or emotional growth. Sometimes you get stuck in a loop of doing things and no matter how much you work hard you are never appreciated or more problems arise. A similar situation happened to me in life where I felt no amount of work is getting me out of this loop.  I had some really crappy work surrounded by tough people to handle. When I decided to switch my job for monetary and other reasons it was very hard to get any interview calls.  The key here is to keep believing. I never believed because market is bad and stuff but my husband kept constantly applying to jobs on my behalf. I had some mental breakdowns due to the work wherein I h...

Dealing with Anger😈

Being angry is something that I do most of the time especially on my family because I never react at work or anywhere else as much as I feel free to do it at home. The main victim of my anger is my younger sister. It’s also true that she irritates me most of the time but she is kind of curious of things I do and tries to lookout to me to help her and I just scream and send her away. We also tend to do it with our mom’s more frequently. She asks us if we had lunch or dinner and we end up screaming at her asking her not to disturb because we are too busy in something which might not be that important than eating on time. Always think for a minute before you scream or be rude to someone because it’s not their fault to come and talk to you so that you show your frustration on them. Relax and enjoy things while doing them because having a cool mind gets the best out of you in any situation rather than a panicking person.

Read this if you feel sick and unwell all the time..

  This post is just to change your narrative on health if you have been feeling sick or being called a sick person all the time. I would like to explain this using my life story. I have been the most adventure loving fun person I know throughout my life but I stopped believing this narrative and started feeling sick and lazy and it all started during the onset of covid. If you would have known me before this phase you would have rarely seen me sick. I would have cried a few times because of teen life crisis but it had nothing to do with my health. Even on family trips to hills I have never felt nauseated. During the 8 months of being a fresher I had lot of freedom and money to buy and eat things I want and there were times I used to eat 2 small size pizzas around 10:30 pm. It dint do anything to me but the results showed up during locked down where I gained around 8 kgs. I had work for the entire day during this fresher phase and my onset of frequent headaches started. This is when...
