Now this is all a process with many interlinked events, from emotional, sexual and financial healing, to purging my house, so I cannot blame all the changes in my life on watching less tv. But the shift in my tv consumption seems to have unraveled a domino effect in my life. It was the linchpin of many other processes. I am less hungry ever since I stopped watching tv, one or two meal a day is fine. When I practiced intermittent fasting, I noticed that I needed less sleep. Last night I've slept only 6 hours and I feel really good this morning. I gained back between 30 minutes to 3 hours of not watching tv. Since I only eat 1 to 2 meals a day, I gained about 1 hour for meal prep and eating. I sleep less too, 6 hours yesterday, instead of my usual 8 hours. We're looking at almost 6 extra hours per day. That's a whole different life. Eating less saves also a lot of money too. If I need less money, then I can work a bit less. Which in turn gives me even more time. And I'm loosing weight at the same time! Becoming healthier is probably also giving more years to live. Not only I have more time, I am more aware during my days. In the past, I would often think about a show, or a movie I just watched. Now that I don't have this to think about, I come back to awareness more often. Awareness really slows down reality. As I am purging my house, I only keep the best tools and the most beautiful objects. I am doing the same with my time. Removing the wasteful activities to only keep the most enjoyable and rewarding ones. What else could I let go of to make even more time in my life? Spending money really takes a lot of my time. First I need to want something, then I need to find that something, order it, wait for it, use it, judge if I need it. I also have to work for the money that I use to purchase that item. Reducing my spending, reducing consuming, adds valuable time and energy. What is it with consuming and time? It is said that if you eat less you add more years to your life. Consuming takes time and occupy the mind. There is the planing, the prep, the actual consuming, then the clean up, the digesting and the processing. What you consume becomes who you are. The image of the Ouroboros comes to mind. This infinite process of consuming oneself. My mind feeds my reality. How much can I calm my mind, this incessant broadcast of ideas, images, memories? Do I need to think? Can I only think when I need it? Worries and anxiety also waste a lot of my time. I have a harder time to fall asleep, wake up not really rested. How can I reduce this? In the process am I de-humanizing myself? And what is the purpose of gaining so much time in my day? What will I do with it? Write more on gopher! Well this seems to be a real side effect.
