Wellness Tip of the Day: Turn off the TV

Have you ever calculated the number of hours in a week that you spend
watching t.v.?

According to an October ‘07 Nielsen report:

The total average time a household had a TV set tuned during the 2006-2007 television year was 8 hours and 14 minutes per day, the same amount of time as during the 2005-2006 season (September 19, 2005 to September 17, 2006) and a record high.

Wow. You personally may not be the “average” but if you do watch t.v. imagine how much more you could experience in your life if you reduced the amount of time you spend watching it.
By cutting out just 3o minutes (or even an hour) each night, here are some of the things you could do to create a healthier, more balanced life for yourself and those around you:

  • Write, draw or paint
  • Take a cooking class and learn how to cook healthy meals
  • Send thank you notes or love notes to people that matter
  • Have tea with a good friend
  • Create a garden
  • Take a nice long bath
  • Meditate
  • Learn to compost and create a compost pile at home
  • Go to a yoga or pilates class
  • Volunteer at a local charity or school or church
  • Plan ahead and make your own lunch for the next school or workday
