T.V. has a huge narcotic effect and gives you a "hit" of dopamine rush, very hard to get over. Try googling things that help you regulate your dopamine levels so they're more in balance and you'll find anything from t.v. to smoking easier to quit; for starters: exercise, especially stuff that stimulates glands and lymbic systems, like Yoga and Qi Gong - not so much Tai chi. Running helps a lot but eventually you mess up your joints so biking is good too. Just take it easy and don't look for any quick, extreme radical changes - just setting self up to fail. Instead try this: "I want to reduce my t.v. viewing to 150 minutes of quality t.v. programming of my choice per day and not give in to random crap programming designed to just grab my attention." Step by step.
- brent 19y agoReduce it to 150 minutes? Yikes! How much TV do you guys watch? That's an epic film a night and thats considered a target?
- NSX2 19y agoWell I'm just using that as an example.
- mrtron 19y agoIf you like sports, that is one sports game a night. When I was in university we had 4 tv's and the ultimate cable package (a benefit of cramming 6 people into a tiny house, things like that become cheap) and a few roommates would commonly watch about 8 hours of tv per day. However 'watching tv' was more doing school work on the couch with the odd bit of discussion about a good play. 90% of my 'tv watching' then was doing schoolwork.
