I must accept that, it took me some time to differentiate between destructive and stimulating entertainment.
With an exception to Book-reading, Resorting to entertainment like binge-watching TV series, Online Gaming, excessive consumption of social media entertainment contents could be destructive when it is used as an escape to reoccurring life problems.
Exactly like stress-eating that puts excess fat and sugar in our body, stress-entertainment is a mechanism to intentionally close our eyes in pursuit to find a temporary escape from real life.
I did that for years and years then finally realized that entertainment doesn't help me anymore. It magnified my stress when I went back to real-life hustle as in the process of enjoying myself, I lost a good amount of time that could be utilized to improve the situation which was bugging me the most.
Overuse of entertainment could be an addiction similar to drugs that begins to destroy life slowly.
Now for changed me, the real entertainment is when I get thrilled and completely immersed in the process of amusement and do not feel guilty when it's over. If ever entertainment induced non-joyful moment, I use it as an anchor to look within myself to find the reason for that feeling.
Then my next task would be to work on its real cause.
I do not lose newly acquired strength from entertainment when I go back to my life. This is stimulating and works as a miracle in all parts of life.
I request you to share in comments about your experience with entertainment and its after-effect in your context of life…
