The fight between mind and hand

When you read the title, you may wonder what I am going to post!.
When something gets too much on you, you either quit or get addicted to it... I take no exception to it... I would not call it addiction because I felt I was obsessed with logging in repeatedly. I began spending more than the time required on Facebook posting whatever came to my mind (after all, it says what is in your mind). Realizing it will become too much (on an average I spent 1 and half to 2  hours), I decided to put a temporary halt to it( did I say temporary?). Hence, decided not to log in to FB for sometime and guess what I succeeded in not posting or commenting on any status. Giving up any activity on a single day is a little tough task... So, I consciously decided to log in, not spending much time in it and just to find out whats happening around the world!.. :D. It has been a fight between my mind and the hand.. My hand went on to type the site address while my mind resisted it.My mind won!

I feel happy of not getting in to the addiction stage - It helps in a greater way - May be one can use that time to do quality work. I do not know when I will start posting; but for sure, this break helps me a lot!. I had been contemplating on quitting Facebook for sometime... Thanks to my friend Shubha who partly attributed to my thought of being away for some time rather than quitting...The total time I spend on Facebook is reduced to 10 minutes only irrespective of how many ever times I log in!(practicing it since June 26).. Ain't it good?

It is all in the mind - When you say, come what may I will not do this and practice the same for 21 days, you will surely be out of it..
You may wonder what is this 21 days math all about - Well, don't read too much in to it - This is just a random number I typed!..

PS: This is not for people who log in to social networking site once a month or even once a week..
Have a great day!
