Everyone I've ever met has watched TV.
And the vast majority of people watch it on a regular basis. Some watch the
news to know what’s going on in the world. Others watch it for the weather, and
some watch it for the entertainment. Now everyone has their reasons for
watching it but when I watch TV I lose myself. It’s an escape from the rest of
the world. When I’m under a lot of stress, I will on most occasions just sit
down watch an episode of a show and just forget all my worries. This is when I get
into my state of full relaxation. While it doesn't take much energy to watch TV
it does take concentration to not get “sucked in”. When you watch one good
episode it’s hard not to want to see the next, but like all students I have
work to do. So when I’m overwhelmed ill watch an episode of a good TV show and
go into flow. Before long I've had a small break, and a chance to think of what
I’m going to do to accomplish my tasks at hand.
Some might say that TV is too
passive of an activity to really require a state of flow. But what is flow
really? Flow to me is when you are so immensely concentrated on something all
other troubles vanish from your mind. All stress is gone from you and you can
stay calm for a bit. To me the most important thing in life is to maintain a
balance of all modes of thought and emotions. I think the best life will have
just as much work done as fun had. Just as much stress as we do relaxation. And
to accomplish this we need to set aside times to do certain things. Find what
relaxes you and do that for every hour you work. This way you will live a life
of prosperity but simultaneously a life of happiness, to have no regrets is life’s
greatest possible accomplishment.
