Healthy Gaming

Playing video games are a lot of fun, but sometimes you need to be doing other things instead.  I know the feeling of wanting to play games all day instead of working out, cleaning, or other otherwise not fun stuff.

Here is my solution for you.  Every time you "lose" or "die" do something small.  For Example, you are playing call of duty.  You get killed, instead of instantly responding/ eating some unhealthy food.  Instead do 5 push ups.  I just recently started doing this again (I use to do it on other games) and you benefit two ways. One,  you are working out, and two you try a lot harder in your game, just so you won't die as often.

If working out isn't your thing, then say you need to fix your bed.  Every time you die, just do one layer of your bed, like put a sheet on.  This may seem remarkably sad for some people, but this actually makes you concentrate on everything a lot more.  I do not believe someone can multitask with the same focused as if they were doing it at separate times.  

You can use this any time you need to do something.  You can have fun and be productive.

Also, every hour you should take a fifteen minute break.  You'll feel more refreshed and not feel lazy at the end of the day if you take breaks.

I am not a huge gamer, but I do play games roughly 5 to 20 hours a week.

Remember be healthy, and happy gaming.
