The Good and Bad

   

     So I think that I have been watching way too much media lately and I want to change! I feel very addicted to my games on my phone and have a hard time turning it off at night. I know that it affects my sleep, my brain, and my overall well being. I am determined to better self regulate and even go so far as to not even turn it on in bed. It has become such a bad habit to help me unwind and relax it seems and I try to remember what I used to do before it came along.  I can sort of blame my husband because he chooses to ask me what I want to watch on t.v. every night. If I were alone, I would probably read or write. However, I try to be accommodating for him.
     By studying and learning about the topic of media, it  has helped me become aware of how I can do a better job of using media for the good. I am going to resolve that because I am writing about this and making a statement, that I will commit to change this habit now. I will change the location of where I charge my phone at night and instead read or write. Just writing publicly makes it easier for me to commit, it seems. I will evaluate this every week and report how I am doing with this challenge.
