Need for Sound

I got to thinking today about my need for constant sound from some kind of media, usually the TV. I think this is something I’ve developed in the past few years because I don’t remember feeling this way when I was a kid. It’s almost as though I need the TV to distract me from the stress of things I need to do, but in the end it just makes me feel anxious about putting things off. I keep telling myself that I don’t want to have one of those families that report that they have the TV on during the majority of the time, but it is so easy to fall into that! My goal this week is to do homework without the TV on and to do more enjoyable things than TV in my free time.
