Don't Die on Steemit

Truth be told, I did not know the potential of cryptocurrency until I joined steemit. I have heard and read about bitcoin but at a time the ship has already sailed. But joining Steemit opened a new world to me...at first it was unbelievable and near impossible. The idea and potential of steemit and Steem makes a lot of newbies keep coming back for more. Whether you are minnow or whale, you just can get tired or enough of Steemit. It is that wonderful! Most of us love internet especially social media where we meet new people and sometimes learn new things. We have been on different social media just for the fun of it. But here comes Steemit, where we get paid for what actually love doing. Who won't come back for more?

Most of us are addicted to Steemit and we are always proud to admit it. I remember saying I love my addiction to steemit in one of @guyfawkes4-20's post on addiction. Recently I have been having this thought of slowing down on my steeming activities but then I can't help myself. Sometimes I will deprive of sleep or wake up in the middle of the night to check steemit, forget to exercise or choose not to go for my early morning run just to stay on Steemit. Sometimes I neglect food because all I wanted to do is be on Steemit. I neglect several other things because I don't see anything wrong in steeming all day as long as I am having fun, learning and it is rewarding.

But recently I started feeling something was not right. All through the weekend I took time out to visit friends. It was after reading @ashleykalila post about Steemit addiction that it became clear I am getting addicted to Steemit and no addiction is good or healthy. Any addiction no matter how good it is will create imbalance in one's life and it will have consequences on your health, relationships and several aspect of your life including mental health which you clearly need to be on top of your Steemit game.

Conclusion

We all know breaking habit especially Steemit habit is hard. To be on top physically and mentally, get away from that phone or Laptop of yours. Engage in other activities that are not internet related. I was watching a video from @nanzo-scoop this morning and he was prepared to hit the gym immediately after the video. That is the way to go about it. Trust me on this one, you won't lose at all or much going about other activities not related to Steemit.
Do your exercise, meet new people outside steemit, visit people, eat at the appropriate time, read books...do what you need to do. Believe me you will come back better and mentally refreshed.

Keep on Steeming right.
