Keep Yourself Grounded
There is one thing you should do each and every day for at least several minutes. That is to stop anything that you are doing, turn away from the TV, from the computer, or any other external distraction and take a good look around. Observe any of the people around you from the general public. Observe the weather. Observe each breath you are taking. This is an exercise to keep yourself grounded each day to remind yourself that what you see and hear from most of the media outlets isn’t exactly reality and your attention is much better served on the true issues at hand and on your life.
People spend most of their time glued to the TV, reading worthless entertainment magazines, and talking on their cell phones. Every bit of this time takes away from your own personal development and also slowly warps your perception of the world.
So if you can trade the time spent on these worthless distractions, and apply that time towards self enrichment, you’d be surprised at the difference it can make.
