Spend one less minutes on Facebook

We are the generation who do not drink or smoke. But we have another addiction: We like surf the Internet. Many of us, at least for me, can hardly live the life without the Internet. We rely too much on Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, etc. I am not saying that they are not good. Actually, it is those new things which make us know more about our friends, about things happened over the world. However, everything that is abused will always lead to a problem.

For example, I would like to spend several minutes on Facebook checking out friends' new status, seeing what pictures they take every couple minutes or hours to "relax". And I can even seat in front of the computer for a whole day, not even go out for a whole day. What will that bring to us? First of all, it is not healthy for our body. Second, you are not really relax when you surf the Internet. Finally, you may feel guilty wasting so many time everyday for those meaningless stuffs. (At least, this point is true for me)

So, my plan from now on is to get rid of that gradually. I know myself quite a lot that I cannot control myself well to get ride of something suddenly, but I have confidence that the holy spirit in me will purify me, and will renew my mind.

Here is the plan:
1. Spend one less minutes on Facebook, but spend one more minutes on the Scripture.
2. Stop watching porn, but going out to gym to work out.
3. Stop chatting randomly, but talk to the people face to face.
4. Stop watching TV shows or movies, but hang out with friends.
5. Start writing down something everyday.
6. Praise be all to the Lord.

At last, stop does not mean totally abandon, but means that we will not get addicted by those things, but spend more precious time doing other important and fun stuff.

I am pretty sure that with my own strength, I can do nothing to achieve those goals. But I believe that the holy spirit inside me will help me, and give me strength to achieve those goals. God give me strength to do that! Praise be all to Him!
