]]> In this digital age, it’s easy to get caught up in the addictive allure of television. While TV can be a great source of entertainment and relaxation, it’s important to find a healthy balance and avoid spending excessive hours glued to the screen. Luckily, there are a few ways to achieve that balance, and here’s what they are.

Setting Boundaries

Set clear boundaries and establish a TV schedule. Determine how much time you want to allocate to TV viewing each week and stick to it. Consider using a timer or setting reminders to help you stay accountable.

Identifying Triggers

Another effective strategy is to identify specific triggers that lead to excessive TV watching. Are you more likely to binge-watch when you’re feeling stressed or bored? By recognizing these triggers, you can develop alternative coping mechanisms like going for a walk, practicing mindfulness, or engaging in physical exercise to divert your attention away from the TV.

Intentional Watching

By doing the two above things it will be easier to do the final step: make your TV time intentional. Instead of mindlessly flipping through channels, choose shows or movies that genuinely interest you. Create a list of must-watch programs and prioritize quality content over mindless scrolling.

]]> When we were children, our parents used to tell us that watching too much TV or playing too many video games would fry our brain. We then sardonically rolled our eyes, because the prospect of such a thing sounded ridiculous. All these years later, we understand that our parents were touching on something much more subtle. True, frying our brains the TV did not—at least not in the literal sense. But watching too much TV can definitely negatively affect one’s psyche, and one must limit the amount they watch per week.

Addictive Shows

If you watch too much TV, you’ll certainly feel the negative effects on your mental energy. Think about how you feel after you binge-watch multiple seasons of a series within a short span of time. You usually feel depleted, or a bit detached. This isn’t necessarily your fault, rather the fault of binge culture and the tendency for shows to have an addictive quality to it, placing strong emphasis on shock-value.

How Much Is Too Much?

Knowing that we have the ability to get addicted to certain shows, we need to monitor our intake of said shows. Watching more than two hours per day is a tad excessive, in our opinion. We’d honestly recommend keeping it to one hour per day, or even a half hour, but we recognize that’s hard for some. Weekends can be a bit more flexible—but for the most part, try to avoid watching past one or two hours in a day.
