Are you hopelessly hooked to the tube? TV addiction may seem like a minor problem, but if you look closely, you will see that it has more negative effects than you think. Watching too much TV takes quite a lot of time away from your real life. This means that the time you spend watching TV could have been spent doing something useful and productive or thinking of ways to better your life.

This is because TV tends to engage the mind in a sedentary activity that inhibits critical thinking and impairs mental awareness. It deadens and distracts the mind from its more important functions and processes. What happens is that the mind is not used to its maximum capacity, but is simply made a slave to whatever is on the screen.

That’s why TV commercials have such a profound effect on the mind. The TV shows send the mind into a semi-trance, making the subconscious more vulnerable to influence. So if you find yourself addicted to the TV, you have to do something about it and you have to be ready to face resistance. If you just manage to get yourself off the couch, just imagine the amazing things you can do with your time and your fully alert mind.

Here are some tips on how to overcome TV addiction:

If you find it hard to fight the impulses that glue you to the tube, why not beat TV addiction at its own game and give it a taste of its own medicine.

Have you ever wodnered where your habits and impulses come from or where they get stored in your system? These lie in the subconscious mind. That’s why they’re so hard to control consciously and why even if your conscious mind is aware of the detrimental effects of these habits and addictions, you still find yourself giving in to uncontrollable urges. That’s the power of the subconscious mind.

So if you want to change a habit or curb an addiction, all you have to do is alter your subconscious mind. You can do this in two ways:

1. Hypnosis. Hypnosis is one of the most well-known ways of uncovering the subconscious. It actually works like TV addiction too. What it does is lull the mind into a trance, making it easier to penetrate the subconscious. Since the subconscious absorbs everything and does not have the ability to filter thoughts and influences, you can plant almost anything there once the person is in a hypnotic trance.

If you want to get hypnosis to curb TV addiction, get help from a hypnotherapist.

2. Self-help. But since TV addiction seems like a minor problem to spend lots of money on to pay a hypnotherapist, there are also a lot of self help methods you can use to reprogram your subconscious mind.

One of the easiest ways is to subject the mind to subliminal messages, messages designed to speak straight to the subconscious. You can deliver subliminal messages to your subconscious easily just by watching videos or listening to MP3s; these are widely available online. If you bombard your mind with messages like:

I am free from addictions.
I am in control of my habits.
I use my time wisely.
I spend my time doing productive things.
I am proactive.

You will be free from TV addiction in no time, and you don’t even have to battle your impulses anymore.
