My "Guilty" Pleasure

I have a confession.

I watch a lot of TV 📺 

Not as much as I used to…. but more than I’d like to.

It’s my “go-to” when I just feel like turning my brain off, avoiding thinking or doing things that I’m procrastinating on for one reason or another.

It’s not that I think watching TV is necessarily a bad thing - but when I’m using it to avoid something or overdoing it - I know there’s some work to be done there.

What makes it more problematic is when I watch things that have no real value in my life. Things that end up making me feel shitty about myself, about the state of the world, or about other people.

So, I made a commitment to myself to fill my TV time with things that make me feel good… or that at least don’t make me feel quite so shitty.

Recently, I’ve been watching this Canadian show on Netflix called “Heartland.” 

It’s about a multi-generational family living on a horse ranch.

It’s one of those sweet, feel good shows that always has a lesson. Sometimes it’s cliche and cheesy… but it always hits the spot and makes me feel good.

(It’s also made me fall in love all over again with horses 💕🐎 … they’re just magical, intuitive, beautiful creatures that we can learn so much about ourselves from.)

We all have different things we use to “escape”. For some it’s TV, for others it might be food, alcohol, drugs, video games, social media… you name it. 

It doesn’t mean that thing is inherently bad and you have to cut it out completely from your life… that rarely works. 

But how can you use it with more intention in a way that serves you?

I’m a life and impact coach in the music biz and I KNOW that working to re-frame the things we use as escapes in our lives will help us change the world… and I can help you do that.
