Have you stopped to consider what you're feeding your brain every day? You wouldn’t fuel your body with junk food and expect peak performance.
But many of us do exactly that with our minds. We doomscroll or binge watch stuff without giving it a second thought.
But the things you read, watch, and engage with shape your mental strength. Just like your physical diet, your mental diet has a profound impact on your focus, emotions, and overall well-being.
Some of the things I cover in this episode include:
- How your “mental diet” determines your thoughts, feelings, and resilience.
- Why consuming negativity—even for just 14 minutes—can leave you anxious and overwhelmed.
- The telltale signs that you’re stuck on a diet of “mental junk food.”
- The dopamine trap behind social media and why it leaves you craving more but feeling worse.
- Three simple and practical steps to “clean up” your mental diet and boost your mental clarity.
- How small shifts in consumption can make a big difference.
