Media Fast


For the past 30 days I have taken part in a 3 month long media fast.

My intention is to block my mind from the manipulating and targeted propaganda that the media so effectively bombards our life with.

Information that is presented to us through the media is more often than not a far cry from the actual truth of the reality. Really, reality is not what is presented in the news, it is how we react to what we hear. The news creates most people’s reality.

If you want to experience an immediate change in focus in your life, I challenge you to take up this simple exercise. What you will be doing is filtering the information you receive. You will be making decisions with a lot more clarity because you will only have to consider the necessary information in your daily tasks. You brain will start having to search for answers and you will regain your natural ability to make decisions based on an outcome not a current circumstance.

Your media fast must include all forms of media.
No TV - you are allowed to watch a movie, with no advertisements, once a week.
No Newspapers or magazines - exceptions maybe to the business section (but even then you are still reading articles based around someone’s perspective of a reality), read a biography of someone great.
No Radio - listen to a CD instead.

30 days of no media influencing your judgment, personal beliefs and focus in your life, and I guarantee you will experience exponentially bigger results and break throughs. You must use this new found time and space in your life to its fullest potential however. Start something new in your life, talk to someone successful who you might not usually talk too, get out of your comfort zone and expand your horizons.

Don't worry..... if anything of real importance happens while you are taking a break from the media you will hear about it from someone.

Good luck. Let me know how you go!
