The top 10 reasons I love not having a T.V, well I have a T.V. just not T.V to watch only movies:
1. I never have to rush home to make sure I catch the shows I am currently involved with.
2. I have the opportunity to exercise almost every night if I wanted to, unless something else comes up, my schedule is free.
3. I get to spend more one on one time with my Hubby
4. Mark and I have started a tradition that every year starting December 1st we are going to read "Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol". We cheated this year and started last night, and with no television to watch we got to read for a whole hour together, what a fun time we get to spend together as a couple.
5. I get to take my adorable puppies for a walk every night, unless it is minus 30 outside, but other then that they get walked.
6. I have read probably about 8 books in total my whole life, however this year alone I have been able to read 8 with all the free time on my hands at night.
7. I am getting to bed earlier at night then I use to, instead of heading off to bed at 11:00 after my last show is done, I am heading off to bed at 9:30 after my workout is done.
8. My nights are free to call up a friend and go for a run, or go on a date with my husband on a weeknight if are weekend is full, visiting teaching can be any night of the week, except Thursday nights because that is my late night at work, or just anything I want to do on a weeknight because I don't have T.V. I have to be watching.
9. If my house is a real disaster I have time to do a quick clean.
and 10. I just love that it is not apart of my life anymore, it is not a need, a want, a desire. I truly have recognized the blessing off cutting T.V out of my life. I am so grateful I have a husband who taught me that T.V. is pointless and useless and for the most part just brings filth into our homes. This year has been an amazing year for me Goal wise, I have accomplished more Goals this year then I have ever done in the past and I know the biggest reason why is because I don't have T.V weighing me down and taking away from the free time in my life. So thank you T.V for no longer being an addiction in my life, it feels good to say I am no longer addicted to T.V.

AMEN! Matt and I haven't watched any tv at all since LOST ended. I love having time to do other things as well. And I am planning to read Christmas Carol too- I love Dickens. My copy of Christmas Carol was ordered a couple weeks ago so I hope it comes soon!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you have recognized all the benefits in your life from accomplishing this goal! So many people suffer unknowingly from t.v. addictions. I guess we all suffer from some type of addictions and it takes work and discipline to get over it. Way to go!
