How Gaming Helps Me Find Inner Peace
Have you ever thought that we all go through such a movement in our lives? When everything starts to seem boring and when work, studies, responsibility, and expectations all come together to create a strange kind of pressure, and in such a situation, we start searching for something that may be good for a short while but makes us forget everything. For me, that thing is Gaming and whenever a gaming controller or phone comes into my hand, it feels as if all the voices of the world have been lost.
Gaming is not just a hobby for me, but a therapy, and it creates a space for me amidst the everyday tension and stress and here I connect with myself When I play a game, there are no expectations and no judgements it's just me. A small world of mine where I am my hero. After every level of competition, I get satisfaction. He doesn't find anything else worth comparing with.
Many people say that games are just for time pass, but who can tell them that every game of every second makes you feel so much inside. When you get lost in a virtual world in an adventure game or focus on speed and time in a dating game, the distraction of the mind goes away, and the tension of the office or home becomes temporary. The only focus remains, as much as possible, to enjoy.
Gaming has also taught me patience, and you don't win every time. Sometimes you lose, but you get used to learning from every difficulty. When I get stuck at a difficult level, I try again and again and when I finally clear that level, I get a different kind of satisfaction in that feeling. That same satisfaction, that same peace. It also helps in finding solutions to real-life problems. Maybe that's why it is said that gaming is not just for fun but can also be a learning tool.
Gaming has become an outlet for my emotions and when I am in a bad mood or I feel bad about something, I go to my favourite game and there, no one blames me or asks me any questions. She accepts the digital world just like I am, and in the real world, I cannot control everything. But it is I who makes the decision about what to do, how to do it and in which direction to go. It also gives peace for having full control.
Sometimes I feel that gaming has made me meet my inner child. That innocent child, that childishness which was lost somewhere in the pressure of work and responsibility, returns. I start the game. There is an excitement with every new mission, every new challenge. Just like it used to be in childhood, that is why gaming never feels boring, because it has become a way for me to meet my real self.
Another special thing is that gaming has also helped me connect. I make new friends through online games. I do teamwork with them and share strategies. All this together creates a sense of belonging, and when the mission is completed with someone else, that feeling is no less than any real-life success. Inner peace cannot be found just by being alone. Sometimes it can also be found by playing with the right people.
I remember there was a time when I was cluttered in life and mind was so overwhelmed that I wasn't feeling good about anything and one day, I downloaded a game it was a simple game, but as soon as I started playing it, all the clutter in my mind got cleared. Then I realised that gaming could become my therapy. Through every game, I become a little more relaxed and peaceful. Gradually, gaming became a part of my routine. From then till today, whenever I feel lost, I know where to go.
Gaming also gives me a chance for self-discovery. How do I react at which station, and what is the result of my decision? I get a chance to learn all this. In real life, there is pressure on every decision, but in games, there is an allowance for experimentation. This freedom gives me the confidence to explore, to take risks and most importantly, to take a stand on my decisions.
So the next time when someone says that gaming is a waste of time, tell them that you will not understand because for me it is not time spending but time self-care and when I win every level of the game and move ahead, I become a little stronger in real life and the thing that I get from myself is not just entertainment for me but a solved experience and gaming is a journey for me, from chase to climb. When I start the game, it feels like a new world has begun. Where there is no judgment and no expectation, it is just a journey. Like a peaceful one, and in this journey, I am learning to love myself a little more every day. Maybe that is why I can say that games have not just entertained me but have also solved me.
