3.34 Video Games and Self-Actualization w/ Guest Mason Maxfield
I asked Mason to be on the podcast to talk about the journey that he took when he essentially swore off video games and decided to get his life back as he puts it. So we dive into that to start this episode out, and then we go on to talk about the effects that have happened in his life and how anyone else can do similar cost-benefit analyses to determine what it is that you may want to remove from your life. What is keeping you from achieving what you truly want out of life?
We also talk a little bit about the benefits of having some form of leisure and/or activities to relax for a little bit in life, and a couple of tips on how to keep from going too far into any one thing. We also give some numbers to help drive home how precious the time we do have on Earth is, as well as how much you can do in your life if you remove time wastes. What activities do you use to relax healthily and unwind?
Remember, you can rewrite your stars and live the life that you actually want, you can remove or add the things that you need to be happy in your life!
