How to Control Special Interests

[jacklejacob]

Hello

 

Does anyone here purposely control what interests/hobbies/pursuits they have?

 

I have noticed a pattern with my interests. Most of the time I have to be exposed to the interest for quite a time before I start to become obsessed with it. If the pursuit is stopped for a while, or is replaced by something else, the obsession with the pursuit is rapidly lost.

 

I want to swap my current obsession with one of my older ones. So even though i have no interest in the old pursuit I know that if i expose myself to it for a while it will become an obsession again.

 

Does anyone have experience or advice on what I am doing?

 

One thing I have learned is that there is nothing that cannot be loved if I am exposed to it for long enough. Therefore I can make myself obsessed with anything I want
