One BIG Way To Increase Your Values and Self-Esteem by Catherine Franz

minutes on what to buy? No, television is doing it for you

already. Parents, what-are-ya-thinking? Or aren't you?

Even though we're intelligent enough to know that our life

is good, that most television programs and all commercials

are negative, the majority of the people still sit there and

soak it all in.

It’s scary to think how as a society we've allowed this to

have such a profound effect on us. Television advertisers

take the most basic human needs, social stimulation and

community, mix it with perception fallacies, like "we're not

good enough" without whatever it is, and push it out. Why

is it so easy to influence us on how we need to fit into the

social mode?

Some people say if you don't like it, just turn the thing

off or do without it. Or we need to be smart enough and

just watch the "good" stuff. Yet, even when we do that,

there are still the commercials.

Television is influential enough for humans to change their

values and the values of all the generations that follow.

Take a close look at someone who is financially well off and

ask them how much television do they watch. The major

respond, "they don't have time," some even say they don't

even one a television set. Why? Because of its negative

influence.

Television can and does bar our own success. This author

tossed hers out five years and prosperity has doubled

because of it. Her self-esteem is up 1000% and her weight

down 35%.

Be smart in your life -- turn of the darn tube off -- maybe

then you can stop taking so many aspirins or depressants.

Don't believe me, prove me wrong, try it for 30 days, and

write and tell me that turning it off didn't improve your

life.

Television is an addictive habit and all addiction includes

a withdrawal stage. The same effect when you are getting

off carbs, caffeine, or sugar. Even those are in the body

and the television in your mind, your body will still react.

Hence, be gentle with yourself. When this writer weaned off

television, she paced in front of it every night just like

opening the refrigerator to see what’s available when you're

not hungry. Television isn't your babysitter, the majority

of the time it's a drug. Children will go through a similar

withdrawal stage as well.

The only way to reduce the withdrawal stage is to substitute

it with something you like to do more than watch television.

Make a list of these activities. It will help you when you

are pacing in front of that bare spot.

Read a book, have a conversation, play with the kids, write

a book, there’s so much more to life. Start a business,

write a book, volunteer, clean out the garage. Oops, the

last one can't ever be better than watching television but,

honestly, you will sure please your wife if you do it.

Take a stand, change by taking new action, and make better

choices this month with your time. Eliminate television.

Sit in front of a fireplace looking at the family album

laughing at everyone’s baby pictures. Do this and your

self-esteem, and the people you share more experiences with,

is guaranteed to soar.
