Lately, I have been going back and forth on whether to set up cable on my TV at home. It would be nice to wind down at the end of a long day to a mind-numbing reality TV show once and a while, but I have decided to resist the urge.

The older I get the more precious time becomes, for this reason, I have made the decision to fill me days with enlightening and inspiring content rather than the mindless fuzz that TV usually offers me. It has taken some getting used to, not having a TV on as background noise, but I have developed some new habits. To fill my time I am constantly watching documentaries. Documentaries have broadened my knowledge of many topics and have informed me on many topics on which I was previously ignorant.

All of the below documentaries have incurred lasting change on my personal habits and/or altered my view of the world. It is quite amazing to have your worldview shifted in under 90 minutes and it is for this reason that I had to share.

Some of my fave documentaries as of late are:

• To Make a Farm
• Food Inc.
• Forks over Knives
• Thrive
• Food Matters
• Hunger for Change
• Urbanized
• World Peace and other 4th Grade Achievements
• Anything at TED.com

Enjoy, happy viewing!!!
