Did you know that watching reruns increases willpower?
According to Psychology Today, reruns lower stress and boost willpower. The same is not true for new episodes. The stimulation of a new plot saps the energy that is needed for willpower.
I only watch TV on the weekend so it’s not like I’m going to come home from soccer practice and watch reruns. But I do like to watch favorite episodes of old TV shows like “Wild, Wild West.”
We won our soccer game last night 10-0 at Indian Springs. We won Wednesday’s game, too, but the refs were late and I had to hurry to make it to my softball game. We played a good team but I got three hits and we rallied to take the lead in the last inning. Then the other team had a rally and they tied the score. We were going to go into extra innings but it was already almost 9:30 on a school night and we had ISTEP tests at school the next morning so the coaches just let it end in a tie.
