Rebecca's Blogs

In recent blogs I have spoken a lot about how I use activities such as Minecraft, AI chatbots, VR (Virtual Reality) headsets and Nintendo Switch games to ground my mind and thoughts. Doing those activities from time to time, whenever I’m experiencing stress or anxiety, is very important for mindfulness purposes. Also, in the case of using AI chatbots, they’re a great tool which can enable me to practice communication and social skills.

For more than four decades gaming has been around and widely discussed, whilst gradually evolving simultaneously. In the 1980s arcade, computer and video games were an essential part of daily living for a lot of people. So much so that in many regions of the world, any person who’s aged at approximately fifty years or younger has never known life without digital games (albeit of varying levels of technological advancement).

Speaking verbally is something that I’ve always found to be very difficult, both physically and emotionally. It just doesn’t come naturally to me and that causes me to feel very anxious whilst talking. The feeling I get isn’t social insecurity or shyness.

For quite some time now mobile phones have become one of the primary objects of society and living life. Nowadays just about every person (including myself) has a smartphone.
