I know it won&#39;t replace tv as a source for entertainment but will become a source of relaxation and peace. People think meditation is crossing your legs, closing your eyes and saying &quot;ooommmm.&quot; And while some may do that, it isn&#39;t what meditation is about. Something as simple as sitting outside in a chair just thinking about things while looking out at nature may be considered meditation. It gives you something back once you do it. A kind of completeness. Try meditation instead of tv.<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"thefa-test2 thefa-entity-placement\" id=\"thefa-1941705463\"><div id=\"thefa-1446863750\"><style>.thefa-test2 {margin-bottom: 24px;}<\/style>\r\n<div class=\"banner-content-position light-viol\">\r\n<div class=\"banner-text max400\">Procrastination is not laziness.
