改掉不健康的习惯很容易
From January to May, I led a quite relaxed and lazy lifestyle, playing on video games and basically ignoring(忽略) all parts of my strong points. I spent much time playing the game. This addiction(沉溺) nearly ruined my mood completely. I was upset to be around and I even had to force myself to go to class or go out.
I wanted to stop, and one day I did. I was telling myself I would focus on building and improving myself. I began to take pride in cleaning, exercising, and building hobbies, mainly playing the piano. It’s been almost exactly a month since that day and I’d just like to share with you.
I’ve been as active as I can, finding a job that promotes activity, hiking whenever possible, and going on runs around parks. I can honestly say it’s the happiest I’ve been in a while, and if not ever, think that it’s only a month that makes me even happier. Who knows what the next few years will bring?
My confidence has skyrocketed from almost nothing to the most confident I’ve ever been as well. If there are someone in the same boat I was in, I’m hoping that this will make you believe that moving out of unhealthy habits is easier than you thought. The body and mind is much stronger than you thought. If you want to be active, now get out of there and live your own life!
