To aid in preventing gaming fatigue, you’ll need to step away from your stream or your video game of choice and do something else—anything else. Find something you enjoy, and schedule time away from the grind.
Do you stream from or play video games primarily at home? Schedule time outside of the house each week to do something different. Physically stepping away from it all will help your mind and your body cope with the stress.
Taking breaks includes regular separation (e.g., weekly scheduled downtime) and vacation-style separation from your craft. Streaming and gaming is either your job, or you’d like it to be your job. Therefore, you need to treat it as such, and take a vacation to unwind and relax.[/nk_text]
Keep your Mental Health in check…
Losing interest in activities that used to bring you joy is a symptom of depression, as well as other mental health problems. Such issues aren’t always related to gaming fatigue, but they’re often the cause of it but it could be a build up of other stresses in your life.
If you think your mental health is affecting your relationship with gaming (or any other aspect of life), the best thing you can do is seek help. Open up to loved ones about how you feel and, if possible, visit a mental health professional or search for help online.
