I am decreasing the amount of time I spend watching TV or streaming each day because I have more important things to do. I refuse to sit down in front of the screens and waste hours at a time.
I have the strength to turn off the screens and tend to my goals. There is nothing on screen more important than what my real life has to offer. When I pursue my goals with the same amount of time and passion that TV demands, I see immeasurable results.
When the urge to watch screens begins to arise, I take out my list of goals and find one that I can work on at that moment. The average TV show lasts one hour. That is one hour I can spend making progress toward an important personal goal.
I keep a book beside my bed so that at night I will turn to that instead of the screens. At the end of the day, I read a few pages of my book, rather than watch a show.
The less television I watch, the less television I want to watch. I am breaking the hold that TV has over me. My time is too valuable to be wasted in front of the screens I prefer the excitement of real life to the virtual reality of the screens.
Today, I choose to keep the screens off for one full day and engage in reading or art instead.
Self-Reflection questions:
- How much time do I spend in front of the screens on an average day?
- What can I do for entertainment instead of watching screens?
- How can I benefit by turning off the screens for one day?
