stoped every form of entertainment news, springer, and all daytime tv..
learned how they use cues in commercials to “work” the brain.. stayed away from the walmart.. and educated myself about advertisements…
and learned alot more about the state of the world in general. but easer said than done.. ;) 4 years ago

It’s terrible. Hate it when people write things just to be nasty—just because they can. Sometimes people read news sources they normally wouldn’t read because they want to know as much as they can about a certain topic… only to discover how NEGATIVE and [unnecessarily] HOSTILE adults can (still) be. It’s draining.

If it takes 3 meditation sessions to wipe a single negative thought out, I’d rather avoid reading the local media altogether. Being picky with news from now on. I want facts/quality analysis, NOT HOSTILITY!

I came home from work last night and did not watch tv. Instead I did some necessary work, took a walk with my boyfriend, and read. I’m hoping I’m as strong tonight. It sort of depends on how my day was at work; the worse the day, the more I crave my tv shows. 5 years ago

....not to mention my time !!! So easy to get sucked into the media’s bright lights, and catchy headlines . First thing I should do , is throw the damned TV out he window !!... if only it wasn’t so heavy… perhaps I could shimmy out on to the roof with my screw driver, ..and color coordinated Ninja outfit, ( which by the way looks not too bad on me if I do say so myself….), and rip the satellite right off it’s moorings !!.... I know, a bit drastic, not to mention risky….( the roof totally clashes with my whole “Color scheme ensemble ” And if the neighbor were to catch a glimpse of me… ).... So what do I do? If someone were to chance a look in my window one night, they may think my family has been turned into Zombies by our glassy eyes, and blank looks upon our faces…. It is so easy to loose an hour, two, or even three to mindless TV …. come to think of it, .. this whole 43things is starting to seem very much like the TV….Oh gee,... now I am gonna have to change my outfit again…. :( 6 years ago
