Seventh hour stretch

Hello Gamers!
Have you ever played a game for so long, that you decided that you would move onto another game for a couple of days, weeks, or months? Well, if you have, you’re probably not alone. In fact I’ve had this sensation many times before, especially with MMO’s.
I find that if you immerse yourself in one game too much, it can ruin your mood in and out of game. It could lead to you not feeling that happy in real life, but that seems a bit extreme, still. I’ve found that there is one great solution to this: Biking. A little fresh air never hurt when clearing your head of all the problems you have, and with nice sunlight and fresh air, how could you not come back with a better mood?
Sure, you could just buy more games, and alternate. This is another great choice, but me- I’m in love with the outside. When I get groggy with a game, and it’s still sunny out, I’ll go explore far away neighborhoods. I usually start with going to my school, which is around 1.5-2 miles away from my house, and can get there in about a half an hour. Then I move onto another school about three miles away, which takes me about an hour, and return home. This equates to about five miles. After about two hours of biking and breathing fresh air, pumping blood faster- I’m ready to get back to gaming.
Another solution, one that works better for the nighttime, is to go on a stretch break, go to your living space, or any space where you are comfortable and won’t knock anything down. All you need is about a fifteen minute stretch break. I’m not talking full on yoga, unless you’d prefer that, knock yourself out. Just stretch your legs, pull out of your hips, make yourself as tall as possible, do neck rolls, trunk twists, toe touches, anything your heart desires. The point of this is to also get your heart pumping and blood flowing. This will help, and some water or tea wouldn't hurt after this either.
I hope these tips have helped you for the next time you want to marathon a game for hours on end.
Resistance is futile
