In our last articleDevoted to television, we have tried to bring sufficiently convincing arguments against the modern television. Theme was interesting and caused heated discussion. If you largely agree that overreliance watching television negatively affects your life, it's time to move to action.
Just I want to mention that this article is not for everyone. If you enjoy watching TV and do not see this is absolutely nothing wrong with that, then do not waste time reading. If you have long been ignoring the TV and can do without the weeks of calm blue screen, then this article is also fortunately not for you. This text may be useful only to those readers who not only spend much of their time watching TV, but also realize that it is a bit of a problem.
1. We are changing the perception
The very first step that needs to be done on the road to change - is to change our attitude to the subject of excessive affection. It is best suited for this deliberate creation of conditions for themselves, when the TV is completely inaccessible to you. Go away for a week in the mountains, poedte to her grandmother in the village or in another country with a strange language. Returning back to the habit and include a box, you're sure to find yourself thinking: "What is so serious broadcast these talking heads? "," Why laugh and enjoy these dolls daubed in the studio? "," What is it about generally?".
If you can not now get away in a lost corner of the taiga or mountain monastery, you can use the advice of Victor Pelevin. Let me remind you, it is recommended to watch TV with the sound turned off, and then vice versa - just listen to the sound without a picture. Try it, it really changes the ratio to the clowns painted on the screen.
2. we find a replacement
If before TV took a big difference in your life, the failure of it you will have a feeling of emptiness and boredom. This emptiness need to be filled. It is important that the activity you chose, there was a tribute to fashion or imposed on other people's advice. Take care of what you really are interested in what you have been dreaming, but putting off for later.
Start your business. There are ideas, but did not have time to realize them? Here you have the time - do it!
Communicate. If you have not communicated with friends and paid a little family time, this is a great opportunity to reconnect.
Take care of yourself. Home excuse of sports Now it will not work. Freed ample time for jogging, in the gym, swimming pool and so on.
A new hobby. Learn a new language, be engaged in needlework, Sign up for dancing - in any case it will be more useful than staring at the box.
3. Gradually reduce the time
It is clear that to give in a moment of entrenched for many years the habit is not easy. So you should try the method of gradually reducing the time in front of a blue screen. However, I'm not talking about abstract "a little less or more," and very specific measures. Just take the clock and every day cut to 10 minutes of your time television.
4. Do not start a new series to watch
Soaps are one of the most powerful weapons of television, that win really is not easy. Let me remind you that behind every such product should work not only talented actors, writers and directors, but also the efforts professional psychologists, sociologists and marketing experts, aimed to ensure that you pick up on the hook and not release. If you can not get rid of the temptation to find out what it was over, try to watch the episodes in the record that you will at least save the advertising time.
And in any case, do not start to see new TV series or TV show! Believe me, I have personally seen quite decent people who did not watch a single series "House." And their living from it or per gram does not become worse. :)
5. Remove from the house-top boxes for digital TV, cut the antenna cable and not to renew the subscription for cable channels
At one point, you will come exactly to this decision. Why do you spend money on programs which you do not look the same? It's just you do not need. Congratulations, you are liberated.
