When Your Hobby Becomes Poison

We try to be excited about living the days. Starting with sports activities, fishing, reading the news to playing games. It's all a hobby run when I try to spend my free time. With hobbies that are carried out, it will make the brain fresher, the body not stiff, mingle with nature and get friends who have the same hobbies. Human hobbies are diverse. For me, playing games is enough entertainment that is suitable as a hobby.

But, not all hobbies look good. In fact in this era, we are confined by pleasures and misguidance wrapped in hobbies. Doing hobbies is a good thing when we use and control our hobbies properly. But, this doesn’t apply if it is a sign that you should stop the activity. You have to recognize and understand why it became toxic.

You Forget Important Priorities

We build life also based on priority. So, what priorities do you use to come first and separate from secondary needs? this is important to note, so you can manage your time well. Sometimes you are too focused on a hobby at one point. But, you aren’t focused on other important things. We need to share our time with other needs such as family, friends, friends, and work which also needs to require wiser time management.

This is because no hobby is comparable to your main activity, so you must be able to manage your time well. For example, looking for a job is more important than playing games and having to spend money to buy items in the game or your child needs your time more than just relaxing at home and looking at ornamental plants as your hobby. So, you should understand this.

You Lose Control With Your Hobby

Because of hobbies that are carried out continuously, we lose control of ourselves. We are stuck in the space and time that we created ourselves and focused on the emotions that reside within. When you dare to spend money on a hobby, you have to control yourself. Because many people lose money just because they lost control of the hobby.

As I said above, people who like to play games will lose their time when they can’t control the money for spend on game items purchased. Then, those who like to invest will spend more money when they are profitable only one time. However, they will continue to spend more money because they still believe that they will earn again. It may also be caused by the greed factor that makes them thirsty for hobbies.

You Feel The Negative Impact

These negative impacts are also felt because there is still a relationship between the above factors. When people play with money, losing money becomes a risk. Some people play extreme games such as skateboarding and parkour and others will experience a greater risk of injury and broken bones than others.

There is always a risk in every hobby that we run. But, everyone must have a mature calculation of what to do about his hobby. The negative side must always be there because nothing is perfect. Therefore, people need to think to choose which one is good and which one will be bad.

So, those are some signs that you should stay away from your hobby. It's not that a hobby is a bad thing, but there are situations where you have to stop doing things that don't satisfy your positive desires and try to move on to other activities.
