Season 1 - Day 20 - Giving Up T.V.
Today was a quiet, yet decent, day. Since my daughter spent last night away from home, I took the time to appreciate the silence. I missed her dearly, but we both need time apart on occassion.
I gave up the daily T.V. routine years ago, but I've been watching it again since a friend left a huge case of DVDs at my house. T.V. is entertaining but it seems to dull my senses. I noticed that I have a harder time meditating and focusing when I've been watching it too much. Also, a lot of the movies that I watch aren't exactly vibration raisers. So, I'm weaning myself off again. I'll keep my Netflix subscription, but I just can't have 200 DVDs sitting around the house.

Agreed also. I can't even watch the local news anymore. Makes me almost physically ill on how much they capitalize on the misery of the human condition.
You can also watch some of the Netflix films online instantly, too! Big time saver.

Comment by Monica Linn on August 9, 2009 at 8:34am - I completely agree that TV is draining. I find that I'm so much more sensitive to it now. I was never able to watch the news (which is atrocious in the states) but now if I'm with someone that wants to catch a movie w/any kind of violence or negativity, I feel it so much more intensely than I ever did before. I feel much better doing without it or sticking to uplifting themes.

I agree with you on that one Nea, TV is just boring to me. I stopped watching TV about 3 years ago. I am an avid reader so there is always something for me to occupy my time. I agree with Shreeya, TV is very negative and it seems that the amusement is only hurting or degrading to others. Which is not my idea of good tv watching.
Great blog, enjoy yourself and your daughter!
