Lesson 1618: Prolonged Sitting with Head Down and Physical Fatigue
Duration:70 minutes
Topic Introduction:Adults' internet addiction is often linked to work stress, difficulties in intimate relationships, emptiness in life, or chronic fatigue. This course helps learners honestly acknowledge these real-world pressures, rather than simply explaining it away with "I'm useless." True adjustment involves more than just reducing phone use; it also includes rearranging rest, relationships, responsibilities, and self-care. When these real-world pressures are brought to the forefront, internet addiction ceases to be just a bad habit and becomes a reminder that you need new ways to relax and reorganize your life. First, acknowledge that you're tired.

Lesson 1618: Prolonged Sitting with Head Down and Physical Fatigue
Click to view the read-aloud text
This lesson aims to guide you through a relatable experience, showing how the internet and games gradually consume your time, attention, and emotions. It will help you understand why adults become increasingly reliant on the internet amidst fatigue, responsibility, relationship pressures, and a sense of emptiness. You don't need to see the internet as the enemy, nor do you need to pretend you don't want to use it at all; the more important thing is to regain your choices. Adults also need to acknowledge their fatigue, not just blame themselves for being weak; recognizing the pressure is crucial to finding more suitable ways to rest. Adults often shoulder responsibilities while feeling they have nowhere to rest, making the internet the quickest outlet. However, prolonged use of this outlet can actually exacerbate real-world pressures. This course will encourage you to honestly schedule rest, rather than relying entirely on screen time; it will also encourage you to confront the work, relationship, and life burdens that truly need adjustment. This learning process may not be easy, but it's helping you gradually take life back from the screen. Speaking out about your pressure is itself a step away from escapism. Having learned this far, please be patient with yourself in Lesson 1618: You're not fighting a battle with the internet that you must win immediately, but rather practicing gradually taking choices, time, and life back into your own hands. At this point, try connecting "adult internet addiction and real-world pressures" with a real-life scenario: When does it usually happen? What emotions precede it? Is your body tired, tense, or empty? What impact does it have on your sleep, relationships, studies, or work afterward? Please don't rush to turn these notes into self-criticism. A more helpful approach is to see them as a life map: where are the entrances, where are the turns, where you need to protect yourself in advance, and where you need to seek help. Today, you don't need to make any major changes immediately; choose just one small action: reduce your screen time, put down your device beforehand, place your phone further away, or pause for ten seconds before continuing. If you repeat these small actions, they will gradually become a new sense of stability. Lesson 1618 only requires you to do this first: take a small step back from the screen, impulses, or fatigue, and listen to your body and mind again.
AI Healing Q&A
Adult internet addiction is often linked to excessive responsibilities and insufficient rest.

You can also ask AI to create a truly restful schedule, diverting stress away from screen-scrolling. Rest also needs to be carefully planned. First, acknowledge the need.
○ Music therapy guidance
Adult internet addiction often stems from deep-seated fatigue. After get off work, play some soothing music before immediately opening short videos to relax your body. While listening, ask yourself: Do I really want to scroll, or do I need a break? If you need a break, give yourself a more genuine way to relax instead of continuing to overwork yourself. After the music ends, schedule a real rest for yourself: drink water, take a walk, take a shower, or sit quietly for a while. Don't just let the screen take over your fatigue. Take care of yourself first.

Internet or gaming addiction often leads people to neglect eating, sleeping, and their physical sensations. Diet doesn't need to be complicated, nor should it become a new source of stress. This recipe reminds you to start with a meal, a bite, a quiet moment, allowing your attention to slowly return from the screen to your body. Recipe (1–2 servings): practice: When preparing almond olive oil energy balls, put your phone aside and let your hands actually touch the ingredients.

○Mandala Healing
Adults often retreat to the internet when they're too exhausted to rest. When viewing a mandala, visualize the outer ring as representing work, family, responsibilities, and pressure, leaving the center for yourself. Ask yourself: What kind of rest do I truly need? It's not about continuing to overwork yourself, nor is it about blaming yourself, but about creating a breathing space in your life. After viewing, give yourself a genuine rest. It's not about continuing to scroll until you're even more tired, but about allowing your body a chance to return to calm. First, acknowledge that you're exhausted. Take a breath.

○ Calligraphy and engraving therapy practice
Prolonged internet use can cause fatigue in your shoulders, neck, eyes, and wrists. Calligraphy practice doesn't have prescribed content or require force; it simply allows your body to relax from a stiff posture. Pay attention to whether your hands are too tense or your breathing is smooth—even just a few minutes is a way of telling your body: "I haven't forgotten to take care of you." When your body is being attentively cared for, your mind will know it doesn't have to keep pushing itself and can gradually relax. Let your body relax first, so your mind can have the energy to return. This tranquility will help you.
○ Art Therapy Guidance
Sitting for long periods in front of a screen silently takes a toll on your body: stiff neck and shoulders, back pain, and a feeling of heaviness throughout your body. Art therapy can help you break free from the mechanical screen-scrolling routine and rediscover your body's presence. Before and while drawing, pay attention to your posture, breathing, and the pressure of your hands. You're not just addressing psychological dependence; you're also telling your body: I haven't neglected you. When your body feels cared for, your mind is more likely to slow down and stop constantly tense and strained.

○ Diary Healing Suggestions
After sitting for long periods with your head down, your body often cries out in fatigue before your heart does. Today's journal entry can record where your body feels most strained: your eyes, shoulders, neck, wrists, lower back, or just a general feeling of heaviness. Don't just write "I've been playing for too long again," also write down what your body is telling you. Finally, schedule a small act of care, such as standing up and stretching, applying a warm compress to your eyes, or walking around for a few minutes. When your body is cared for, the pull of the internet will gradually decrease. After writing, stand up and move around a bit, letting your body know you've been heard. Taking care of your body is not a trivial matter; it will gradually help you reduce your numb dependence on the screen. You don't have to tough it out alone.

May you gradually return to a more stable, clear-headed, and gentler version of yourself through today's practice.
