With so many things you can do online, it is definitely possible you can spend close to 24 hours doing nothing but surf (or perhaps listen to feel-good music or watch a show). However, when it comes to health and even social relationships, Internet surfing is actually not a good idea at all. In fact, experts suggest spending no more than 5 hours. It does not just cause addiction, but it can also cause a lot of health troubles. It may even shorten your life span.

But how do you exactly tame yourself when it comes to the Internet? The following may just help you:

1. Find other worthy alternatives.

Yes, you do have plenty of alternatives for Internet use. Instead of just sitting there, listening to your preferred music, you can turn on the radio and dance to the beat. Go out and watch a movie than to wait for torrents. Rather than looking up at some beautiful pictures, travel. There is nothing more pleasant than to heighten your experience.

2. Activate your controls.

There are a lot of plug-ins you can now use together with your browser. These plug-ins will help control your Internet use by preventing your access to some of the websites. If you think you cannot control yourself, you can have the plug-in password encrypted. Allow someone to do that for you, so you will not have a chance removing the password.

3. Use subliminal messages.

Subliminal messages can be extra powerful especially if you are trying to control yourself over Internet use. You can combine these subliminal messages with meditation or visualization. You can also just remind yourself from time to time. Subliminal messages are usually called affirmations or motivational words. They inspire you to do something you think you really cannot achieve, including limiting yourself of the things you like.

Some of the subliminal messages you can use at this situation are the following:

I do not depend on the Internet.
There is more to life than using computer all the time.
I am eager to do something more productive.
I have a lot of control over these urges.

4. Establish more personal relationships.

What are the two things that can force you to use the Internet often? These are social networking websites and e-mails. You normally use them for communication. Why don\’t you build more personal relationships outside cyberspace? Call them up and ask for a meet-up. Go to your favorite restaurant and coffee shop and talk face-to-face. The truth is you really cannot make true friends just by going online. You have to make an effort and prove you are worthy of the friendship.

5. Disconnect.

Call the Internet company and disconnect the line. Should you need to use the Internet, you can always look for a cybercafe. There are a lot of them within your area. You will have better control of your expenses, and going back and forth to a cybercafe will eventually tire you. Thus, you really do not crave so much for cyberspace.
