Make sure to involve yourself in worthwhile activities and service. Keeping occupied keeps you from getting into situations that lead to this temptation.
(I'm not talking video or console games). Ask around about service projects and look around you to find others that need assistance in some way or another. Serve, Serve, Serve.
Being involved in the human condition is something that helps us realize how silly, wasteful, and self-serving are bad habits.
Are you involved in Scouts? Having goals and objectives that have nothing to do with our problem helps us to refocus on the more important things in life. Have you ever built a go-cart from scratch? Built a tree house for your brother, sister, or young neighbor? Have any other dreams or desires? Have you made anything special for your parents lately, no matter how small?
Focus on worthy goals and service to others.
See your Bishop, in your later years, you'll never regret it.
If you don't, in your later years, you will definitely regret it.
