How To Give Up Football

The best time to give up football is at the end of the season – after all the cup games and European Championships, or World Cup. Then avoid transfer ข่าวบอลทั้งหมด news and football news in general.

“Too late, the season has already started.” I hear you say.

Hold that thought. So it’s two weeks into the season. How much time have you already given up to the game? Did you enjoy having the weekends freed up during summer? O.K. it started with withdrawal symptoms, but they passed and you got on with the rest of your life. Perhaps the London Olympics helped to ease the way.

We can’t turn back the clock; so stop as early into the season as possible. The longer you wait the greater the challenge. Listening to results will weaken your resolve – avoid them. When the desire to watch or listen to match previews is strong, focus on the main reason why you want to give up football. Do not listen to after-match analysis. It may well be a good idea to change the newspaper you read if it’s particularly soccer orientated.

There’s no getting away from friends discussing football, so listen patiently without comment. Never take on a superior judgmental attitude, or try to convert them to your new way of thinking. Expect to be made fun of and accept it with good humour.

When asked why you have chosen to give up football, provide an honest explanation. You will find that few will fail to understand your reasons, regardless of what they are. In time many will admire and even envy your stance.

Take up a hobby, especially one you have always wanted to but never had the time. Start an exercise program or take up a sport. The feeling of self-satisfaction will be far greater than any satisfaction felt by watching others play a sport.

Calculate how much money you are now saving and treat yourself and the family accordingly. The price of a season ticket could pay for a vacation.

Make use of the internet to find out what help is out there. Most likely you will find like-minded ones with whom you can have an interchange of encouragement. By encouraging others and sharing experiences you won’t feel alone. Use it too as an outlet for any frustration you may be feeling.

Some may only wish to cut down on the amount of football they watch. In this case the above suggestions can still be applied to a lesser degree. But in either case talk to your family. Find out how they feel about the amount of time you give to football. Listen to their concerns; sincerely try to see things from their point of view.
