This week's content comes from the Chapter on "Media"
Music, television, movies, video games and the Internet all consume a lot of time in our lives. Like choosing friends, choose your media wisely.
Music is a great outlet. Listening to all types of music is great. Don't surround yourself with too much negative music - it can bring you down. Television and movies can also bring you down. Don't watch too many horror movies or movies with extreme violence. They will start to desensitize you from reality - and also give you nightmares.
Like many things in life, when done in moderation, they are OK. Don't get so obsessed with video games that you chose them over doing something physical or with other people. Instead of playing video golf, play the real game! Actually video golf is fun just make sure you have a balance between games and reality.
Be careful with the Internet. It is the Wild West! You can find pretty much anything you are looking for on the Internet, and often stumble upon things you were not looking for! It is a great resource tool, but also does not have any filters for content. Also don't believe everything you read or see on the Internet, because a lot of information is not factual. Anyone can post anything on the Internet, whether it is true or not.
It is a good idea to try and surround yourself with uplifting media. I will always select a comedy over a depressing drama. Watch and listen to things that make you laugh. Laughter is good for the soul. Christian music always has a good message - although I also like listening to Rage Against the Machine. Add Christian music into your collection to keep a good message going into your soul - especially when you are down about something. Christian bands today rock!
