We are what we watch. No? Then it must be we become what we watch. Our mind, body and even girth are decided by which channel we watch always. Let me explain with examples.
You are tired and exhausted - may be doing your chores inside the home, or may be doing little bit of gardening outside, or even trying to draw a nice background for your app using image editor - thinking that owning an image editor (free one, of course) will make you a graphic designer. So you are tired and you want to relax and you switch on the TV.
You go to Star world , Zee cafe or Comedy Central. Of course they are telecasting re-run of a serial which you must have watched 100 times. You get angry at yourself for watching it, but you decide to watch it anyway because in half an hour, another serial will come, hopefully with an episode you have not watched, at least not on the same day. You stretch your legs and you slowly stretch on sofa.
But if instead go to a movie channel and luckily find a movie worth watching and not watched recently, your legs will drag you to kitchen. Not to complete the inevitable task of preparing a meal, but fill the big bowl with snacks. So 3 hours of snacking!!
At the end of 3 hours you start feeling guilty and switch channel again. If this time, you get a History or NGC and NGC science, you become alert. And start watching that with an attitude. Hey, you are an intellectual and watching some science related program.
If you switch to some channel with devotional or classical music, you sit up straight. - There are, actually channels which telecast classical music and dance. Most of the times it DD, and today I saw in some TTD. You bring back your lap top and where were you, Oh, null pointer exception in ****.java file. You start debugging at.
I am telling from my own experience, you have to not only channelize your energy in proper direction, you should channel-ize to proper channels.
