I'd rather participate in sports rather than watch them. It's a big motivator for me to stay away from my computer for long periods of time.

Watching sports on TV is difficult for me because of all the potential triggers. So in that case, I always keep my running shoes handy next to the night stand with my siddur and Tehilim.

Thanks for sharing.

This is a great question... I am a pretty big sports fan myself, and unfortunately spend too much time reading articles about games, etc. B"H, I have almost no time now to watch games live, as I have wasted lots of time doing that in the past.

One thing I would suggest (halavai I should take my own advice here) is to soul search and try to figure out what following the sports does for me... thrills, distraction, escape (a big one for me unfortunately) and try to find somehthing else better off for me that replaces the sports in providing that. Then, I could (at least theoretically) reduce my taiva for sports of its own accord and "get my fix", whatever it is I'm looking for emotionally, from a more healthy place... rather than trying to just hold myself back (in general), as this probably wouldn't work for too long.

I hope this is helpful.
