The plan is going okay so far because i decided not to watch television but when i came home my sister was watching it so i decided to watch television with her. The effect that has given from my rut was I stopped wasting my time. I use to watch television for 5 or 6 hours but now I only watch it for 2 hours. As Thoreau said “go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.” Which means that live your life the way you want to. Trust yourself to follow your dream in the right direction. You can change you life and make it however you want to live it. It feels awkward giving up the rut because I am so used to watching television. I basically watch it when I am bored, lonely or sad. I told my family about the rut and they were laughing at me. They said that It would not be possible for me to do it because I am so used to watching television. I know I can do it if i just believe in myself and follow my dreams. It is never easy to change something your really used to.
