Treat yourself with games - you deserve it!

No really, treat yourself and use games as treatment, you will like this form of therapy. Especially if you are a gamer. Obsessed or not! By the way, the research show that 21 hours weekly is the tipping point, the limit between liking to play a game and becoming obsessed, attitude leading to serious consequences in health, social life and so on.
But lets go back to business. Games, how can we use them?
Just to give few examples:
1. Playing Candy Crush Saga for 10 minutes will reduce cravings (for food or smoking) with 25%. This is a huge percentage, i must to admit. They say that the game vivid imagery is using the same area in the brain that is responsible for addiction for food or cigarettes.
2. If you play Tetris for 10-15 minutes in the next 6 hours after a major distress, chances are that you will avoid Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome. In you miss that 6 hours window, you can still do it in the next 24 hours after you will remember the event for 102 minutes. Is not some magic brain wash, you will still remember everything, but the brain will not become obsessed with the replay of events over and over. More related science data on this website.
3. And some serious games here, known for helping the cancer patients for years. Remission and Remission 2 from Hope Lab. It is amazing. Check this info and pass it on. If you know people interested, i recommended. It's free. And it's working.

 Have a perfect week!
