Yes, I do mean turn your TV off.....for ever, maybe!
Look to continue with the process of change you will need all the help you can get and for one that means try and avoid watching anything that is going to cosy up to your current way of thinking. Misery, pain, suffering and worry. Our media is a great supporter of all of these.
I know because I have been avid reader and follower to the news for all my adult life. The reason was I was brought up with it and thought it the way to a greater level of thinking of the world....maybe it helps you understand certain things but after a while you gain nothing from 99% of it other than maybe entertainment. I use to read a paper everyday (non-tabloid) and listen to the news channels in the car all of the time. It is now restricted to Sunday Times "interesting factual parts' and reading the headlines of the papers at the petrol station. A very difficult habit to break if you enjoy world events.
So what I want to write about in this article is the very simple task of becoming present in every part of the day that you occupy.
That means that you observe your actions at all time and become a person that lives for the exact moment you are in. Now that is fairly difficult if you begin to allow yourself to live in the past or future. This is not a test for future events because I can feel the questions popping up as I write this.
I.e. How can I live in the present when we are in a recession?
