Is not watching a movie for one year a form of punishment, unhealthy, or honoring my resolve to get a good rank in GATE so that I can get a good technical skills , a good college and contribute to advancing human civilization by means of Technology?
I have thought about this question a lot, and all this thought hasn't given me any meaningful answer, so I have decided to experience it this year to find my answer.
Also I want to let go of some things for an year because i want to show myself that what i want is actually much more than these small pleasures and that i can live without them.
I have decided to devote:
- No Movies : i love watching movies because they open my perspective
- No Junk Food : Junk food acts as my mood stabilizer whenever i feel deep in a pit. I think it's unhealthy psychologically for me too but it feels too relieving when i am at my lows.
- Youtube, Instagram, and Reddit, Quora : These platforms allow me to numb my sufferings and forget them.
- Time spent worrying about success/failure/future: I really like this, it's my favorite pass-time activity. I have decided to devote this to Action towards getting better at electronics, physics, technology, or humanities. There's so much to do in life, cant afford to spend tine worrying.
- Sleeping late at night: This is probably the hardest; I generally get a lot of insight about my life when i am awake late at night. But it messes with my routine and I cant consistently study for long hours sleeping late and it's also possible to get similar insights during day times. I have decided not to sleep late for this year.
Let's see where this thing goes. I am optimistic!
