Get An Energy Boost From Watching TV Re-Runs of Your Favorite Shows
Dear Reader,
It's the lazy person's dream... sit comfortably on the couch and watch a re-run (or two) of your favorite TV sitcom or drama and boost your energy? Can it be? The results of new research in the journal Social Psychological and Personality Science have found that lounging in front of the TV can give a boost to energy levels.
Jaye Derrick, PhD, a research scientist at the University at Buffalo's Research Institute on Addictions, explains that we only have a limited pool of mental resources. These get used as we confront tasks along the way, leaving us with less willpower or self control going forward. These mental resources restore naturally over time, but there are things we can do to help the process along.
One of these things is to watch a favorite TV show. The research saw that TV programs that were favorites where subjects were able to be with familiar characters in remembered situations, worked wonders on energy levels. It's like spending time with old friends who make no judgments, ask no bothersome questions... who are there for you when you need them.
Here's how the two-part study worked. To begin, half the subjects had to complete a rather complex writing task while the others had to do something similar, but far easier. Then half the subjects wrote about their favorite TV show while the others listed items in their own rooms. Writers discussing their favorite TV shows wrote longer if they'd finished the more complex task compared to the easier task discussed earlier. What's more, those who wrote about the TV show had a larger energy boost that helped them do better on a hard puzzle, the next step in the study.
In the second part of the experiment, the researchers had subjects keep a daily diary where they would write down difficult tasks, what media they had used and their overall energy levels. When a complex task was involved, people tended to watch a re-run of a favorite TV show, movie or read a beloved book. Doing these activities gave an energy lift to the subjects that they could feel.

Get An Energy Boost From Watching TV Re-Runs of Your Favorite Shows Continued...
The team concludes there was a measurable restorative effect delivered by a familiar, fictional world. We're able to tap into the power of surrogate relationships with characters we love. It's comforting to relax with pretend people while putting our brain (and everyday stressors) on hold. We know what they'll say and do... we just sit back and enjoy. Completely effort free.
Derrick goes as far as saying there are times when relaxing in front of the TV may be better than getting together with real people. Human exchanges can produce a sense of rejection, exclusion and ostracism - certainly all bad for self image, destructive to will power.
The findings are good news for the TV fans among us who aren't up for meditation, yoga or a walk to restore our energy. Yes, violent TV can be bad. Yes inactivity while watching TV contributes to obesity (as does snacking); but there are some good things to come from watching. So relax TV fans, it's okay to settle down and reach for the remote to catch just one episode of a show you love.
To your good health,

You cast an eye over the room - it's a total mess! Shall you pretend to be out...?
We've all been there - caught out and embarrassed by the state of our homes.
Wouldn't it be great to always have a home that's free of clutter, one you're proud of rather than embarrassed by?
Now you can.
