Came across this great weblog named Ririan Project which offers several tips for breaking (but not necessarily quitting altogether) your TV habit. Do you know that nearly every household (90 percent in Caribbean) has at least one TV and most have more? Ririan Project shows some unique ideas on how your TV will not be the highlight of your life when nighttime comes along. For example:
Throw out the remote control. It’s impressive how much less television you’ll watch if you have to get up every time you want to change channels or adjust the volume. Plus, it eliminates all those hours you spend channel surfing.
The post also suggests that reading at least 30 pages of a book or magazine before you start watching TV 🙂 or change up your furniture so the TV isn’t the focal point, along with a lot of other worthwhile tips for cutting back. And since you’re watching less TV around bedtime, you’ll also sleep better.
Outright disregard for television has always rubbed me the wrong way, so this post takes a nice angle for how you can change my television to a less central focus in your life while replacing it with other healthy ideas. I’ve found that the internet have made it possible to watch less TV. In fact I’ve not watch television for almost two most now. Yes, I do miss it sometimes, but you know what? I feel great 😀 – because I get more sleep and wake-up feeling good. But if you’ve broken a rather nasty TV addiction in the past or you just can’t give up TV, let’s hear how you did it in the comments. Photo By:*Luke Wisley*
