I’d like to do something different for Inspirational Journal this week.. rather than sharing with you a poem or story that I’ve found, I’m going to share recommended sites and articles…

Today’s article is called the “9-Step Television Diet“, from Tina Su’s blog, “Think Simple Now“. It’s a few months old, and I re-read it today, having decided recently to stop watching TV altogether during the week. (I put the TV in the garage this morning, to avoid temptation)

Negative effects of TV:

  • Mental Clutter
  • Mentally Draining
  • Highly Addictive
  • Time Consuming
  • Feeling Crappy
  • Procrastination
  • Kills Imagination
  • Bad Posture
  • Guilt

9 Steps to Quitting the Addiction:

  • Focus on Your Food When Eating
  • Break Old Routines
  • Plan Your Escape Route
  • Get Used To Using the OFF Button
  • Use Television As A Reward
  • Ask Yourself Why?
  • Simple Reduction
  • Television Allowance
  • Visualized Pain

Remember, this is just an excerpt,  .. to read the full article, with all the “meat” in between the bullets, visits 9-Step Television Diet…

I’d also appreciate your thoughts on this sort of Inspirational Journal post, as opposed to traditional stories & poems.

Here are some more TV-related articles:
