Self Control

Wow, what a challenge. For a social creature like myself, who is experimenting in living alone, TV has become a form of connecting whenever I feel lonely. Once I took away TV, I saw myself turning to other comforts - food, conversation, romantic daydreams, prayer, exercise. Some good, others unhealthy. The act of taking away a staple from my day was very revealing. The disorientation aroused emotions that I need to deal with, in order to get to the other side of indulgence - which is SELF CONTROL. I feel like I've made strides toward this goal, but there is still so much work to do. It's good to know I've found a hot button for future reference. Practice conquering my desire to watch TV, and I can conquer many other temptations.
