I haven't watched TV or the 24-hour news channels for 15 years. It's a form of mental hygiene that I've chosen.

We are influenced by the images we see and the words we hear: they are more or less consciously imprinted on our minds. I keep my news to a minimum by choosing simple news notifications, which are more than enough for me. The more I was exposed to anxiety-provoking information, the more unbalanced I felt, and this had an impact on my general well-being, leading to compulsive eating habits. Since I've been practising this hygiene, I feel better in my head and in my body, more balanced.

What we see and hear influences our thoughts, and as Lao Tse said:
« Surveille tes pensées, car elles deviennent des mots.
Surveille tes mots, car ils deviennent des actions.
Surveille tes actions, car elles deviennent des habitudes.
Surveille tes habitudes, car elles deviennent ton caractère.
Surveille ton caractère, car il devient ton destin. »

I detach myself from the screens to do what I really love: baking, music, walks in nature, meals with friends... and sex! This allows me to take charge of my own life again, and to generate positive vibes in my body and all around me.
