* Enter a mindful state, and acknowledge that the television is a source of light, motion and sound in the room you are in.  Mindfully notice the shape of your own room, what objects are in the room giving off sound and light or moving.  For example, an overhead fan is providing a breeze, a gentle sound, and constant motion.  Notice that the television is merely another object in the room, with no more significance than things like a fan or a lamp.
