Sometimes unconsciously, that program can be bringing you stress, and you don’t even realize that it is, let alone tempting your discipline. When you do choose to watch television, and a commercial comes on about how much you need to get a hamburger, and your goal is to lose weight; as soon as you see or sense the beginning of that commercial hit the mute button, literally. There may be a show that has some part in it that makes you want to get up and have a cigarette or engage in some other not so good habit you have; unconsciously you will feel that way. Do not watch it or turn off the part that makes you stressful. Know yourself and stop before you reach for a not so good habit. Sometimes when we read or watch something, it has reflections of your sisters and brothers in a bad light, or there may be no reflection of you at all. If you are in the position to change this, please do. If you don’t-- turn it of, otherwise it can saturate your unconscious and conscious mind with thoughts of fear and weakness. .Know yourself. Study yourself. Study your reactions.
