I’ve been meaning to cancel my cable for a while now. Problem is that I really enjoy watching tv. As an experiment I once gave up tv watching for about two months using strictly my will power and self discipline.
After that I started watching tv again. There is nothing better than watching some show, that you enjoy, after coming home from work. I enjoy mystery shows the most. These days there are a ton of mystery shows. Anytime you turn the tv on, you’re bound to find something to watch.
Killing brain cells
I am not joking but it really feels like I’m getting dumb if I keep watching tv. I have realized that I can’t think, can’t concentrate, can’t even do simple things effectively while watching tv. 
Every time I have needed to concentrate I have had to turn the tv off.
As I really love to think, tv is actually coming in my way. My mind seems cloudy and foggy even after the tv is off.
But I just did not want to resort to using discipline again as that just doesn’t seem to last.
Even now I’m sitting watching “Without a trace”. 
I don’t really watch this show but it’s on right now so why not!?
Cable tv discount ended
Recently all my discounts ended for my cable tv. I could have called and negotiated better discounts once again as I always have been doing but I decided against it.
I called and cancelled the cable!!! Wuhooo!!!
Well, I have until 24th of July before it’s cancelled.
Instead of using strictly discipline, I am changing my environment to change myself. If you want to stop smoking, you stop hanging out with people who smoke. If you want to stop watching tv, you cancel your cable!
