You're already doing light exercises which was part of the solution for me.

The next step is a bad one - you actually have to turn the television off, it won't do it for you.

I think also you may be a bit overwhelmed by all the things you feel you should be doing, to the point you don't want to do any of them. So try to forget about them for a while.

Take walks in your neighborhood. Try to notice something that has changed, or is still the same.

In a few weeks maybe the mood will strike to have a cup of tea, and do some reading. Maybe not, maybe next week you'll learn something new.

i learned to control my TV habits by planning what i want to watch in advance. when the new TV guide came out i would mark every show that i wanted to watch, and then i followed that schedule and turned the TV on only for those shows and nothing else.

now that i can choose when to watch things, i pick the shows i follow, and when i have time for tv i just take an episode of these shows, ignoring everything else.
