How to motivate yourself to comply with restrictions
1. Understanding the importance
Strict compliance with the limits is the key to a safe and controlled game. Realizing that restrictions protect your budget and psychological state, you lay the foundation for motivation.
2. Setting personal goals
1. Identify the "why": Write down what you want to keep - vacation money, family budget stability, peace of mind.
2. Specific indicators: the goal is "not to exceed 50 € per week" or "play no longer than an hour."
3. Visualization of progress
1. Personal tracker: a sign or app where you mark days without exceeding.
2. Timeline of achievements: The weekly growth of green days motivates you to continue.
4. Rewards system
1. Small incentives: After a week of compliance, a favorite dessert or movie.
2. Large bonuses: a month without violations - a small purchase or a day off in a new place.
3. Not monetary rewards: an evening of board games or a walk in the fresh air.
5. Public reporting
1. Promise to a friend: Tell a loved one about your limits and ask to ask for reports.
2. Social network challenge: post results in a thematic chat of responsible players.
6. Automatic reminders
1. Alarm timer: start at the start of the session, signal - stop.
2. Casino push notifications: Turn on reality checks every 15-30 minutes.
3. Calendar alerts: A daily "check limits" reminder before the game.
7. Self-monitoring techniques
1. Pause analysis: if you want to remove or increase the limit, make a "time out" for 30 minutes.
2. Method "5 why? ": ask yourself the question "why do I want to remove the limit?" five times to get to the true motive.
8. Environment support
1. Gaming partner: agree with a friend: he writes you a message if you miss the limit check.
2. Support groups: Participate in responsible play forums and chats where you share successes and challenges.
9. Analysis and adjustment
1. Weekly analysis: Compare actual spending and time with limits.
2. Correction of goals: if the limit is too tight and causes stress, increase it by 10-20%; if too soft - reduce.
3. Lesson log: Record your findings and adapt motivational methods.
10. Conclusion
Compliance with the limits is a habit that is developed through clear goals, visualization, a competent reward system and support for the environment. Use the listed techniques and your motivation will remain at its best, and the game will be safe and enjoyable.
