Day 17
I realized something yesterday. Although not watching TV has given me a ton of time to do other stuff, my brain has not shut off in 17 days. My brain is continually processing; what’s happening right now and how will it affect the future, processing though my vision for ministry with God, thinking about my family and their well being. The list could go on forever but even when I sleep I wake up having processed something. What I realized yesterday is TV watching is the only time my brain disengages. I have not found anything else that does that for me, and I need to. My brain is getting tired, or I’m getting tired of my brain!
Please pray for me I am making some huge decisions in the next day or two and I would really covet your prayers.
I have that problem, too. I’ve tried every technique and suggestion out there, but television is the only off switch. My mother-in-law does dishes. My mom irons (although she does it while watching TV). Many of my friends do crafts. I do crafts, but that just gets my mind going even faster! I’m determined to learn how to crochet more than a chain, hoping that will give me a new focus when I’m trying to relax.
