Decrease to a minimum!

      It is everybody's nature to show their ability and capability to do their activities to a higher level. But this nature may affect both that person indulging in it and the children around him. For example, if you increase the TV sound volume, you may feel exhilarated; but the children around you shall be attracted by the sound towards the TV, stopping their playing/activities. This shall compromise on their learning. And it shall make them addicted to TV-viewing, and lead a sedentary life style in future. It is needless to say that all those listening to the TV with high volume shall also become susceptible to hearing loss. So, in TV listening, reduce volume level to a minimum.
        Another example for showing such high abilities is the raising accelerator of the vehicles to the maximum that shall land the person in trouble, surely.

Stop and move away to listen to TV next!

When we stare at TV or computer screen, or read books, we hold our breath at a certain level and let in air into the lungs only in a thinner stream than the usual stream. The continuous staring produces first tiredness in our muscles that have become inactive already due to our seating motionless in the chair (that is, they are having less blood flow); next the tiredness creeps into the eyes, and hence our mind too becomes tired. How can we avoid this and supply more oxygen to our brain, eyes and muscles, and thereby clearing the accumulating toxic substances in the blood?
First stop that work; close your eyes; take in deep breaths and let it out - for about ten minutes; then rise up, walk away and do other energetic works for about ten minutes. And then return to continue your listening or reading with the freshened up state!
But, is there any other method to freshen up yourself without all these breathing and spending your valuable time? Yes. It is there! It is the talking actively with other viewers or readers seated next to you. Talking itself is an excellent exercise for the lungs that supplies oxygen in full stream! But that walking or moving away from the spot cannot be avoided here; it should be included anyway.
Then, think about the lonely yogis meditating in the interior of wild forest. How do they manage sitting always on the ground lonely for hours together - though not listening to TV or reading books?  Whom they shall talk to? Can it be this? They simply close their eyes and talk with the God, breathing deeply!

Wasting resting time working as a slave!

After returning from our day's work we sit before either computer or TV screen in our leisure time. But at the end of such watching much after much, we find all our leisure time exhausted and that it often extends beyond it - reducing our interaction with the family members. These time-wasting devices make ourselves a slave by making us to do more tasks by their prompting and commanding instructions/ads displayed on their screens! Our resting time is thus wasted by working hard at home. Such working hard in a tired state may predispose one to diseases also.
