Last year, I led a quite relaxed and lazy lifestyle. I spent much time playing video games. This addiction (沉溺) not only did harm to my body but also t my mind. I lost interest in everything else expect video games, and even had to force myself to attend classes or go put. I wanted to stop and to change. One day, my teacher had a long conversation with me. She believed I could overcome this unhealthy habit. Her words touched me. I decided to focus on building and improving myself. I began engaging in activities like reading, exercising, and pursing hobbies, particularly running. It has been almost exactly a month since that day, and I have changed a lot. I've been as active as possible talking with my friends, hiking whenever I can, and going on runs in parks. I can honestly say that I am now the happiest I've been in a while, and perhaps even happier than ever before. It's amazing how much progress can be made in just one month. Who knows what the next few years will bring? My confidence has improved from almost to the highest level I've ever been as well. If there are someone in the same boat I was in, I hope my story will make you believe that running away from unhealthy habits is easier than you may think. Out bodies and minds are much stronger than we know. If you want to become better, now step out of your comfort zone and start living your own life! |
