Hi eveyone!
Brief Intro
I am currently of 21 years. I am going to pen my diary daily to make myself accountable to all of my fighter brothers. To talk how long I have been in this addiction…I can only say that it has been so long that I have even forgotten the time period when I started. It’s like it has been always present throughout.
Solution
Let’s now talk about the solution. I will follow an Ashtangika Marg. These are as follows:
-
Samma Dhiti (Right Vision): The urges are a result of not guarding the eyes and being obsessed with phone usage. From today onwards I will limit my phone usage and only study in offline mode. The max will be through laptop but obviously without internet connection.
-
Samma Sankappa (Right Thought): The mistakes which I am tired of the most is to never follow right thoughts and let my mind follow right and positive thoughts which ultimately makes me falter. I will bring changes in that slowly.
-
Samma Vaca (Right Speech): God has given us speech to make the world a better place with our madhur(not necessarily sweet but benevolent words). Yet we dont remained committed to that. I am an introvert. So, I dont have much changes to make here. But still after relapse, I behave very arrogantly with my parents which I need to stop.
-
Samma Kammanta (Right Action): Even if I and I expect we all know what is better for us but still we remain stagnant to change. We dont take actions or we dont even try to. I will need to change my habits from being a change speaker to a change doer. Nothing changes with just speech. Action needs to follow.
-
Samma Ajiva (Right Livelihood): I am missing all things in life. And doing what? Bingeing on web series and binge eating. Thats it. I will bring up changes in this.
-
Samma Vayama (Right Energy): Daily exercise of atleast half an hour.
-
Samma Sati (Right Awareness): I look like any other ill-informed person who has no idea what is going on in life. I have to stop looking outside for useless info and look inside.
-
Samma Samadhi (Right Concentration): For me atleast, currently there is just one form of meditation. Staying away from phone.
