Sounds so easy, right? But it’s not. Actually, watching T.V is one of the biggest
addictions of the world. My act of leaving T.V is like winning a battle for me.
Before I discuss with you how stopping watching T.V helped me, I would like to
share with you, why I left watching T.V.
Why I Stopped Watching T.V?
I stopped watching T.V because I knew it is worthless. Right
from our childhood, we’re taught to write an essay on T.V and what do we have
to write? T.V is crap, T.v is an idiot box, bla, bla, bla.
1. Repeating episodes.
I used to watch some science and tech shows some time
before. But their problem was, the shows from India had nothing special to
showcase, the knowledge they had was nothing in comparison to that I have.
Those episodes which were telecasted from abroad had more repeat telecasts than
they had real episodes.
2. Story-less serials.
The telecasting of some serials is really appreciable but
most of them usually end up on the same track- Saas-bahu. I don’t know if production
teams plan their serials’ end. The story they start with is usually covered
within a year. I don’t know, why and how some serials are able to carry on for
decades!
3. Unreal Reality Shows
It’s obvious to see many reality shows on the T.v that they
are scripted.
11 Ways Stopping Watching
T.V Helped Me.
It’s been since the 1st of June 2018 that I
stopped watching T.V. I don’t watch it till now. I was so amused to watch the
T.V when I went to get the scooty serviced.
1. Focusing On Studies.
Now, I’m able to focus better on my studies. Also 12th
class students are expected to stay away from distractions. So did I.
2. Focusing On Blogging.
I’ve also been able to focus on my blog, I’ve my creative
juices flowing. I get new ideas for blogposts. I post more creative content on
social media.
3. No Stories Of Serials Crawling.
It’s the problem of every other person but now not
mine. Earlier, when I watched T.V, the
story of serials remained in my mind and chased me when I would be studying or
blogging. This was really irritating.
4. No Crap in life.
I think that one of the biggest sources of crap in life is
T.V. In serials there are men and women (characters) who do nothing and are
good for nothing. There is an aunty or any other relative old lady who is
jealous of everyone, thinks malicious and knowing about everything and everyone
is important for her. All this doesn’t happen in life that one keeps on
blushing and weeping every time.
5. Positive Attitude.
When you keep watching different movies and serials, you
adopt a villain like attitude, you doubt everyone. This doesn’t happen all of a
sudden but gradually. When you leave watching T.V you feel back like a
human. Leaving Watching television I
feel more positive than ever.
6. Better Memory.
I am now able to recall incidents, words from my vocabulary
, news and even my lessons more easily. As I previously mentioned, there is no
memory of serials crawling in my mind.
7. Leisure Time.
Earlier I used to spend one hour in the afternoon and two
hours at night watching T.V. That sums to twenty one hours a week. After
Leaving T.V; I’ve been able to save this time. I also sleep on time which doesn’t
cause me stress.
8. Better Eyesight.
You can easily, what would happen to a person who sits
twenty one hours a week in front of television. Earlier I had a few aches in my
eyes as well as in forehead but now they’re gone.
9. Dining Habits.
When you watch T.V, you don’t just watch T.V, you also like
to have your meals in front of it. You’re in a hurry, I don’t know of what. You
don’t chew it properly. This results in sedentary lifestyle and obesity.
Leaving T.V has enabled me to enjoy the food my mom cooks
with so much affection. I use dining table for my meals. I chew it properly. I
can proudly say that it is digested properly.
10.Fitness
I perform yoga, morning walk but I still have time to enjoy
my day.
11.Reading Time
I’m a human, I need entertainment. This might be your query,
but not mine. There are various sources of entertainment. I read. I love
reading. You too can join a library where you can get many books.
If you’re not interested in reading try some music instead.
