   Iann is right. I remember watching one of Brad Pitt’s earlier movies where most of the main cast end up dying violently. I had the heaviest feeling in my chest for days after that. Sometimes, we just have to be more discerning about the the things we watch and listen to. It does make a lot of difference.

   Hi Henry,

   I can relate to that. Sometimes what we see, watch or hear can haunt us.

    Good information especially having a pet and avoiding news on television.

12. raymond on December 1, 2008 4:24 am

    Hi Atniz,

    That’s what I’m practicing all this while. You can’t find a TV at my house.

    It sounds weird and unbelievable when I tell this to my friends but it’s true.

    I must have quit reading the dailies six years ago, who needs it when ya can stumble, right? While i admittedly am out of touch with some of the latest developments, it’s fantastic that by having nudged that off my schedule, i’m able to have more time in re-reading my old lit texts, stumbling on art and design sites etc. All of which i feel so so much more empowering and stimulating than reading the daily news. I can’t help but feel its these little strategies and decisions tat we make, that truly has watershed impact in our lives. It does make me somewhat elated to see that i’ve implemented some of the mentioned strategies in my life. Next up? im getting myself a dog!

14. raymond on December 1, 2008 12:50 pm

    I haven’t read the daily news for yearssssss. And some people (including my mother) still can’t understand why and advice me to read more news so that I can know what’s going on.

    But deep inside, I know that I have made the right decision not to read the daily news. Instead, I prefer to create my own Good News!

    Hope you get a good and cute dog, Sunny.

    Wonderful point for being positive in the life and happy! Until you get what you wish, you won’t be happy till waiting is fruitful. Success takes time and with the required mechanism, success comes true. For this need preparation and patience. Regarding the entertainment and news your link is http://www.Avaaz.org.

    Don’t watch the news…

    Yeah, I agree! Sometimes watching the news makes me feel down and worried about my kids’ future.

19. raymond on December 11, 2008 6:55 am

    Hi Motherhood,

    Sometimes it may make me look dumb and stupid when people are trying to break an ice with me with the current issues or disaster and I have no idea what they are talking about.

    But deep inside, I know that I’m doing the right thing.

20. Celes | Embrace Living on December 16, 2008 6:40 am

    Hi Raymond! I fully agree about not watching the television – I find that it has become a medium for random messages which are largely consciousness lowering. Commercials that bear underlying messages from advertisers, news with fear-based messages.. we can do without them. I have not watched TV for over 3 years. If I want to watch a show, I prefer to do so on-demand via DVDs/etc, without all the unnecessary commercials. With the increased popularity of videos on-demand online, I wonder what will become of TV 5 years from now?

21. raymond on December 16, 2008 7:02 am

    I am willing to pay to stay away from the commercials and the negative news. I watch most movies in cinemas.

    I have been disconnected from TV for more than a decade and I have never regret since.

    The only time I watch TV is when I am watching DVDs or CDs. (Once a while).

    #8 – didn’t quite think about it, but you’re right about the skewed amount of negative news. Also, I’m amazed at the number of folks actually staying away from TV (or being highly selective). I’ve been ‘disconnected’ for a couple of years myself and mainly getting my news feeds through RSS. Surely there are some selective good programs but there’s alot of unhealthy junk and time-wasters.

23. raymond on January 8, 2009 6:15 am

    Hi Andy,

    Staying away from the TV is a good practice from my point of view. Besides staying away from the negativities, one can save a great amount of time to do other better things.

    Thank you very much for this extensive list. They are very empowering. I’ll make sure to use this as a reminder to keep me focused in practicing the Law of Attraction.

    You’re welcome, Michelle. All the best to you.
