Tip #14 To Feel Happy Today - Stop Watching TV

While some relaxation is important, consider minimizing passive screen time (like TV) in favor of more engaging activities. Studies show that excessive TV viewing can have downsides, including:

• Disrupted Sleep: Thrillers and action movies can leave your mind racing, making it harder to fall asleep and stay asleep.
• Creativity Drain: TV puts your brain in a receptive state, but not necessarily a creative one.

Here's how to create a more enriching routine:

• Free Up Time for Activities You Love: Minimize TV and rediscover your hobbies, explore new interests, or spend time with loved ones.
• Fuel Your Mind: Reading, learning new skills, or engaging conversations stimulate your brain and spark creativity.
• Become Mindful of What You Consume: Be selective about the content you watch. Opt for documentaries, educational programs, or uplifting shows that inspire you.

By making these changes:

• You'll experience a greater sense of control over your time.
• You'll have more opportunities for personal growth and learning.
• You'll cultivate a more positive mindset by focusing on activities that energize you.

Remember, you are not giving up entertainment, simply expanding your options! Remember, a balanced approach is key. Relaxation is important, so don't feel guilty about enjoying an occasional TV show. However, by being more mindful of your screen time, you can reclaim your power and unleash your full creative potential.
