subject: Ways To Beat Your Tube Addiction [print this page] Are you tired of dissipating about two months of your life each year stayed in front of TV? Spending more than one hour sitting in front of the TV each night? DO you want to kick this habit? The most important point of kicking the habit is to admit the problem and promise to change.
1. Make a list of one hour evening plan. List everything you might dream of organizing recipes, touching up the paint on your bedroom walls. Then try to do each evening.
2. Play games. Learn the fun of playing chess with your spouse and kids. Get out playing cards and have a hearts. You can also play Ping-pong in your basement. All of these have much fun and healthy than you glue the tube.
3. Say not to Jaws for the 15thtime. We tend to be attracted by the things that we have seen several times before. There is something comforting in the repetition. Well, resist it from now on. It might be unhealthy for your body and brain when you watch the same movies once again and again.
4. Get outdoors each night. Try to leave your home or apartment at least once when you have eaten your dinner, if only take a short walk around the block. Most people think their day pretty done once when they have finished the dinner, but actually, evening can be a wonderful time to get things done and having more fun.
5. Change the chairs you sit to watch TV. Choose the chair somewhat hard and upright, and you will not be willing to lounge in for long time. Place them in your living room and lounge in to read book and listen to music.
6. Develop a fast-moving news routine. Many news are designed to the minutes. So you can check the handful of shows you watch and work out when they run the characters you like most.
7. Avoide pundits and celebrity talkfests. Ruling out certain types of shows is the way to cut down on television. You can begin with any show in which you are watching a person talk. There are few television interviews are deeply insightful. These categories can help you to boycotting. Think other categories to resist:
Whole ball games. Why do you spend three hours watching a baseball game when the critical action can be captured in just five minutes?
Any show relating to laugh track. How good can it be if it needs canned laughter to tell you a scene is funny?
Shows filled with guns. Who wants to the mental burden of all that killing?
What does that leave you with? You can understand something from the good films, good news coverage and shows that also show the celebrated people and the good side in life.
