You spend days, weeks, maybe even a month or two binge watching the same show on Netflix. You are so involved in this show that when you leave the house, that's the only thing on your brain. You feel like you've integrated your way into their world and now you're pretending to be one of their characters. When you come home, that's all you do. You ignore your responsibilities and watch as many episodes as you can stay awake for. Although you are watching as many episodes as you can, you are also trying to prolong the inevitable; the end; that one final episode that sends your world crashing down. And when the show finally does end, what do you do? You can't just jump into a new series! You need time to mourn the loss of your show and characters before you can finally move on. Here are some tips and ideas on how to move on and distract yourself from the ending of your favorite show.
1. Sleep
Chances are, you've been ignoring sleep for God only knows how long. I get it though, you wanted to spend as much of your free time as possible watching this show, even if it meant giving up some of your precious sleep. Well now is your chance to finally close your eyes and get the sleep that your eyeballs are so desperately craving.
2. Cry
Now this one might not be for everyone, but if you're a bit sensitive like me, then the tears are a must. You will feel a lot better after mourning and grieving over the loss of your favorite characters. Or they could be tears of joy over what an amazing show you just watched was. For instance, after watching Game of Thrones episode "The Spoils of War", I spent the next hour afterwards crying over what an achievement that episode was.
3. Get Out of The House
You have probably spent the past few weeks holed up inside of your room for the past few weeks. Get outside! Go and see the sun! It might be bright at first, but we have sunglasses for that! Go get lunch with your friends that you've been avoiding or go for a walk and breathe in the fresh air! I don't care, just step outside!
4. Spend Time With Your Family
Being that you were holed up in your room, did you even bother coming out to say hi to your family at all? I mean, after all, maybe they're the ones paying for the electric you used to watch that show with? You could at least thank them by saying hi once in a while
5. Clean Your Room
Yes, I know and it's okay. You can't be expected to pick up after yourself while watching Netflix. I'm not judging because I do the same exact thing. But now that you have some free time on your hands, maybe just a little quick washing of the sheets and picking up your dirty clothes off the floor might suffice.
