forget the pain in our lives for just
a little while, flipping channels
as a form of self-medication and
tuning out.
But what if, instead, you filled that
time with activities that enriched
you, educated you - things that
genuinely entertained you and
nourished you?
How would you fill the empty
hours?
Writing that elusive novel.
Starting a business. Singing.
Playing with your children.
Spending time with your lover
or your friends. Spending time
with yourself. Having deep
conversations that spur epiphanies
and growth. Long-neglected
hobbies. That project you never
seem to have time for, that relative
you keep wishing you knew better.
Those dusty books on the shelf.
Your soul.
Turn off the TV and connect with
your life. You only get the one.
Steeping ourselves
in this
negativity keeps us from
focusing
on the positive.
What can you do? You can
opt out of the news;
there’s no
requirement to watch or
listen.
You’ll be far better off
without
it - and when something
actually
important happens, you’ll
still
know. People will talk
about it and
it will seep through, and
then you
can choose to either take
heed or
ignore.
they have a choice, too.
Choose to live your life differently,
and you start a revolution
simply
by being yourself.
