Are you awake?

I think there are two sides to what I feel when I watch TV and get stuck watching without realizing that I could quit and do something else. One side is that I really enjoy it as entertainment, it's funny, interesting, emotional, happy, sad, and those things. But I also get stuck watching because I'm not "awake" or "aware" throughout-- instead, I let my brain go somewhere else.

I could spend time trying to hold onto my brain while I watch instead; it would make me stronger with decision making and quitting when I need to instead of quitting when something forces me to or reminds me that I should.

Later: wow, that was hard. I COMPLETELY forgot! haha. I'll keep trying it.
