Smash Bros

I personally love playing Super Smash Brothers. I am honestly probably better at it than I should be. I like to think about how it affects me. There was a time that I played it a lot with my roommates. Sometimes I would go to bed and while I would try to go to sleep I would play out entire fights in my head. I found myself doing this sometimes while reading the scriptures. That's when I knew that I had gone too far. I needed to have scriptures in my head while playing smash bros and not the other way around, so I decided to flip the amount of time that I spent playing smash bros with reading the scriptures. That did a lot for me. It helped bring the spirit way stronger into my life.

Playing smash bros would also sometimes make me angry. I found that if I vocalized my frustrations, I would get a lot more upset. If I kept quiet and didn't say anything, it would help a lot to be chill. I thought that was very interesting that the act of vocalizing my frustrations made it worse because I feel like a lot of people think that by vocalizing frustrations they are "letting off steam" but it actually makes me more upset.
