Food for the Mind

We all need to eat, every day. Some eat two times a day and some eat six times. What is important is: What do you eat?

There is a saying that goes: "You are what you eat".  I totally agree on this. Your body will reflect the things you eat. That is the reason there are such things as diets, and not to forget, diets are very popular. There might be millions of different kind of them.

Where am I going with this? I'll tell you.

If your body reflects and is shaped by the food you eat and the exercise you get, this is similar for the mind. Allow me to elaborate on that. If all you eat is junk food and you sit on the couch doing nothing, what do you get? That's right! A body that is out of shape (to say the least).

So if all you feed your mind is junk food and let it sit on its mental couch, doing nothing, what do you get? That's right! A big, fat, out of shape mind. So why aren't there millions of diets for the mind to get into shape?

You feed your mind, most of the times without being aware of it, with lots and lots of information every day, every minute, every second. YOU can determine what you feed your mind! It is your mind after all.

So, get in shape, do those mental push-ups, crunches and lunges. Read those good books, let your creativity flow, get your mind on a diet!
