Happy People Watch Less Television

 Kill your TV

Kill your TV before it kills you.

According to the NY Times, happy people spend a lot of time socializing, reading newspapers, going to church, and doing a slew of other activities.  But not watching a lot of TV.  

Analyzing massive sets of data accumulated over thirty years and 45,000 Americans, scientists tested what activities happy people engaged in.  They found that the happier people were, the more they did most activities on the list.

Except watch TV.  Unhappy people watch 20% more television than happy people.

If you find yourself watching back to back episodes of Grey’s Anatomy, or watching CW at all, there’s help out there.

    I was not! I was cooking soup from scratch! I do other things too!

    Right no I’m watching a dvr-made house marathon and cross-stitching! It rules.
    I was thinking about the “little women” in the olden days when people would hang out, and the men would read while the women embroidered, yeah they could have used a house marathon.
