Week 1

This week I've really been thinking about how TV/Netflix affects me. I don't watch very much TV normally but I do notice that watching shows that I've watched all my life does help me when I'm stressed out. I love Friends and have since I was little. I remember watching the last episode when it came out with my Mom when I was 7 and crying. Haha I probably didn't understand majority of what was going on but I loved those characters on the show and spending time with my Mom. I've watched every episode countless times and it just always puts me in a good mood. I don't normally watch more than 2 episodes total per week but it's just enough to help me feel good and calm down from whatever is going on. I think we definitely have emotional connections to TV shows as funny as that sounds!

    I completely agree with what you shared here! I feel the same way. There are definitely shows that help me when I'm stressed out, and some that I watch when I need to take a break and relax. Some shows that I've liked since I was little, and still love because of that connection, my wife hates and has no idea why I have interest in them haha. All the emotional connections!

    I feel the same way about the shows I watched when I was younger. Me and my sister would watch gilmore girls and now every time I watch it I feel calm and like I'm at home.

    I've never seen Friends, but I can relate in that certain things in media (music, books, or shows) that can help me mentally take a break from life.

Christmas Music

I've never really been one to have a set rule on when it's okay to start listening to Christmas music. I think Thanksgiving is awesome but I don't think there should be a problem with listening to Christmas music for a month or two leading up to Christmas. I love the Christmas Spirit that it brings and the memories it brings back hearing certain songs. What do you guys think? Is there a certain date that Christmas music is okay to listen to?

Podcasts

I honestly had never really listened to podcasts before until the past month or so but I have fallen HARD for them. We live in Eagle Mountain and I work in Lehi but I have class 4 days a week in Provo so I spend a lot of time in my car. I didn't realize how much time I spent listening to music before until I started listening to podcasts that are actually teaching me something. I feel like I'm spending my time so much better as I listen to them. My husband and I love listening to Dave Ramsey and it inspires us to keep living on a budget and to keep saving for a house so I love hearing his podcasts where people call in and have paid off their houses and they are like 30 years old. Sorry, rant over haha. But Dave Ramsey podcasts are great! Share any podcast recommendations you have below!! :)

I'm thankful for social media this week! I know it can be a blessing and a curse and it just depends on how we use it, but I'm thankful for the positive influence it is. I've been out of the country for the past week so it was really nice to be able to stay in contact with my family back home since we didn't have service most of the time! It was fun to be able to see what was going on back home and to be able to share pictures of our trip.
