HOW TO NOURISH
YOUR MIND:
Avoid Media Exposure
3 Ways Media Influences You
 1st Way: the media does a good job at hiding its
influences.
 Since you can’t clearly see how the media influences
you, you believe that they aren’t affecting you.
 As a human being, what you do not see is what you
do not believe.
 Though at some level you might know that the media
is affecting you, it’s difficult for you to stay away since
you don’t know how it’s influencing you.
3 Ways Media Influences You
 2nd Way: the media doesn’t have an immediate
effect on you.
 Things that affect you slowly are the most
dangerous because they build up to become
big problems/issues later in life.
3 Ways Media Influences You
 3rd Way: you are constantly surrounded by the
media.
 You’re influenced by things or people that
surround you the most.
 Ex. Constantly around negative people = you
become negative too.
 No matter what you try to do or where you go,
you’re always influenced by the media since it’s
everywhere.
How to Be Influenced Less By
Media
 Try not to watch shows on television.
 As you watch shows on TV, you also see advertisements.
The more advertisements you see, the more you’ll be
influenced.
 If you like certain shows, then purchase & watch them on
DVDs to avoid advertisements.
 Mute commercials when they appear so you don’t hear
them. Remember, you also gather information through your
sense of hearing.
 Be careful which shows you watch. Many shows &
programs can influence you negatively.
How to Be Influenced Less By
Media
 Do not watch the news.
 News you tend to see are negative, nothing
positive.
 It’s likelier to see stories of violence, gangs,
murders, etc. that would have a negative effect
on your mind.
 Also, most news stations don’t provide us with
complete and/or adequate information.
How to Be Influenced Less By
Media
 If you want to research the internet for certain
things, then only research what you need & log off
the moment you’re done.
 Don’t browse around, even if you might have
some spare time.
 Make a list of what you need to do on the internet.
The moment you’re done with everything on the
list, log off.
