So I had said that I was going to make a list of things I would like to change about myself and throw a dart at it to see what thing would come first. Then I realized I don't own darts. So Plan B was to write (or type) up the list, tear it into individual strips and pull one out of a hat (so to speak). And that's just what I did....
(The List.....all chopped up)
(The List in "the hat" a.k.a. my DMB ice cream container....)What is change Numero Uno??
Turn off the tv.
This does not mean I am not allowed to watch tv (because that would never fly). I just have a tendency to come home from work, turn on the news and not turn the tv off until it's time for bed. Nevermind if there's nothing on. I'll have the Weather Channel tuned in if nothing else. Or I will flip and flip (knowing I won't find anything, but flip I must). And so I sit, ass to couch, for hours on end and accomplishing nothing (well, sometimes I knit/crochet....so I am getting something done). While a little mindless tv viewing is ok every once in awhile, at my house it's become the rule rather than the exception.
So, starting today, if I see that there isn't anything that just jumps out and grabs me on tv, I will turn it off. And read a book. Or clean my house. Or call a friend. Or do yoga. But no more tv for background noise or just "something to do".....cause there's plenty I SHOULD be doing! (hi. crap still piled in my dining room? I'm looking at you.)
