TV - Making a Change

TV has been my way of relaxing and decompressing at the end of the day for a very long time and had become a bad habit. I was finding myself staying up too late, usually binge watching something and not getting a great sleep and wasting precious hours each day.

Starting February 1st, I made a commitment to myself to stop watching TV during the weekdays. This was done in part to support my goals for the year and due to a long overdue adjustment to the amount of time I spend in front of the TV. Truly shocking how much time is wasted!

I allow myself time for TV and evening snacking on the weekends, as I also practice intermittent fasting during the week days. Right now weekends are my reward days. I know that as I build healthier practices I will naturally be able to further reduce activities and habits that don't support my intended lifestyle. The changes that I have made are sustainable and I have been pleasantly surprised to find that I really don't miss the TV during the week or the snacking at night either. 

In those newly found extra hours, I've been able to finish reading Zen and The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance and am finally finishing The 5 AM Club. Both of which were started earlier last year and then sat on a shelf until now. Relaxation is still happening and I also find myself getting to bed a bit earlier and sleeping better. I am looking forward to seeing the benefits of everything I can accomplish in those extra evening hours as the year progresses.
