Originally, I planned it to be for 21 days. Bc it takes 21 days to break a habit!
If the rule is 21 days is all you need to change behavior, then I am going to force myself to avoid T.V. for that long.
I did.
And was.
Until...
Last week I told my friend that my time is up and she said: "Wow, a month flew by so quickly!"
Hmm...
Never thought I could or would or wanted to last a MONTH without the Telly.
"Why not Challenge myself?!?" I thought to myself.
(Lots of self talk here! In my brain, not mumbling in the park while feedn my pigeons. Yet...;)
After, talking myself into the month long T.V. silence I realized how I have depended on it in the past.
I used T.V. as an escape.
As a reward.
Avoidance.
Distraction.
Procrastination tool.
Mind numbing.
Socializing.
Current events.
Entertainment.
Not be present.
Not be present.
It's fine to choose to use T.V. to do all those things. Just odd that it took me giving it up to notice that's what I had been doing all this time.
Interestingly, Probably one of the hardest things to give up.
Today, are you taking a Challenge right now? No meat for 30 days? Squat Challenge? No sugar?!
At Rosh, a family friend asked Why, I was giving up all these things?! "It's not even Lent!"
It's not Lent.
But, are you finding choosing to do these Challenges are helping you jump start habits you would like to have?!
Is it working?!
I realized I can only do one Challenge at a time.
Or else I will kill someone I love.
;)
