○ Suggestions for seal carving calligraphy practice
In this course, the goal of seal carving calligraphy is to help you, through focused, meticulous carving, enhance your sense of self-control, alleviate distractibility and emotional volatility, and assist in understanding the core characteristics and behavioral mechanisms of internet addiction. The quiet writing process helps you return to a sense of body and reality, establishing a connection with yourself. Depending on your needs, you may want to try the following:
- Introduction to the characteristics of seal carving:
Seal carving requires the carver to remain calm and composed, and to pay attention to structural balance and rhythmic control. For internet addicts accustomed to rapid information switching and instant gratification, seal carving can help train concentration, movement rhythm, and inner patience, and is an important way to rebuild deep concentration and a sense of the rhythm of reality. - Written words:
My heart writes
I Carve What Dwells in My Heart - Psychological Intention:
Internet addiction often obscures the need to express genuine emotions. The slow, serene process of writing "我心寫兮" (My Heart Writes Xi) helps users uncover hidden inner feelings, shifting their focus from virtual feedback to authentic, inner emotional experiences, and restoring a connection to their own feelings. - Knife skills:
Slow down your movements when carving, pay attention to the rise and fall and turning points of each stroke, and use the movement of the blade on the stone to train your stability and awareness, so that "writing from the heart" is not only a form of expression, but also a process of regulating emotions and behaviors. - Emotional transformation:
Transform the anxiety, dependence, and escape from online content into the real touch of every stroke, re-establish the sense of reality through the real feedback of physical movements, enhance control, and reduce the occupation of virtual stimulation on the mind.
○ Overview of Internet Addiction: Suggestions for Drawing Therapy
This page is presented in a drawingInternet addictionThe main features of the system include:Overuse, loss of control, withdrawal, tolerance, and impaired functionDrawing can help externalize usage patterns and life impacts, allowing us to see the "cycle of addiction" and "possible paths to self-regulation." Drawing is for self-awareness and expression only, and does not replace medical diagnosis and treatment.
1. Use a Cycle Diagram (Trigger-Behavior-Outcome-Relapse)
- Draw a four-segment circle: ① triggering situations (boredom, loneliness, stress, anxiety), ② online behaviors (gaming, watching videos, social platforms), ③ short-term results (excitement, distraction, relaxation), ④ consequences (procrastination, lack of sleep, guilt).
- Write "Relapse Cycle" in the center of the circle and draw an arrow out of it: exercise, offline socializing, journaling, and painting.
2. The Balance of Gains and Losses (Short-Term Stimulus vs. Long-Term Costs)
- Draw a scale: write "short-term benefits" (relaxation, gaining information, social satisfaction) on the left plate, and write "long-term costs" (decreased vision, affected studies/work, alienated relationships, anxiety and depression) on the right plate.
- Under the scale, write: "Which side is heavier? How can I adjust it?"
- Draw a "green leaf/sun" next to the right plate to symbolize healthy alternatives (exercise, music, face-to-face communication).
3. Functions Affect the Four Grids (Study/Work - Emotions - Relationships - Body)
- Draw four boxes: ① Study/Work (procrastination, decreased efficiency), ② Emotions (irritability, anxiety, depression), ③ Relationships (neglecting family and friends, conflicts), ④ Body (neck and shoulder pain, fatigue from staying up late).
- At the bottom of each box, write a "Micro-Repair Action," such as "Take a 10-minute break today" or "Talk to a friend face-to-face."
Tip: Internet addiction interacts with psychological needs and life pressures. Drawing can help with routine and self-reminders. If internet addiction is seriously affecting study or work, or is associated with depression or risk of self-harm, please seek professional help promptly.

○ 1581. Overview of Internet Addiction • Journaling Guidance Suggestions
① Current status review: record the average online time in the past week, the main platforms/games, and the time when it is most difficult to stop, so as to observe first and then adjust.
② Impact assessment: Give an example of a specific impact on sleep/study or work/relationships, and replace "guilt judgment" with facts.
③ Need identification: What does the internet satisfy? Relaxation/connection/escape? Match each need with a gentler alternative.
④ High-risk scenarios: List three triggers (boredom, stress, late at night) and write an "alternative activity ten minutes in advance" for each.
⑤ Gentle boundaries: Set three bottom lines this week (no computer in bed/offline after 11 PM/no screen at the dining table).
