In my attempts to write more/pursue music more/sleep better, I am trying hard not to turn on the TV. It is so easy to turn that thing on and get sucked in for hours. Next thing I know, it’s 11:00 and I’m a total zombie.
I love a good movie and there are a few shows I enjoy watching (Drew and I enjoy a good episode of Modern Family and have recently discovered Wilfred, a rather clever comedy on FX. Plus, I have to confess I’m totally hooked on the teenage drama Pretty Little Liars. I’m pathetic, I know) but sometimes I just watch TV because I have no energy to do anything else. I finish the evening wondering why I feel totally drained and uninspired.
I’m trying to resist the urge to get glued to the boob tube and instead spend time reading, writing, practicing guitar (totally slacking on this lately), exercising, or doing something creative. Something that allows me to feel filled up rather than drained.This evening, I found myself totally wiped out after dinner (and a good Wii workout… that thing probably warrants a post all it’s own) and really wanted to turn on the TV. But I didn’t. I chose instead to sit out on our porch and read and write a bit. And although my ankles are getting eaten by who knows what, it’s been relaxing. Drew even joined me for a bit.
I’m hoping I can keep this up.
