Overindulgence in mental crap mightn’t add to your waistline straight away. But it can be the beginning of a downward spiral if you let it become a habit!
I think we need mental energy to want to do the things that contain our waistline, but those things reward us with more mental energy, which I like.
Excited for you to heal up, sleep better, feel better, exercise better and just be better in generalZ
I think so. I think we are creatures of habit. We like to feel nice. In an age of streaming services, social media and food delivery, it's so easy to have those things that make you feel nice on your doorstep in minutes. The problem is, eating Doritos on the lounge, in your pajamas while watching Netflix in the middle of the afternoon will make you feel nice/give you comfort at the time, you feel worse as soon as you stop. So I think that makes us susceptible of falling into that cycle.
It's way easier to spend the day on the lounge, bingeing some mindless shit, having takeaway delivered than it is to say, walk to the shops, buy some raw ingredients, prep and cook something healthy, then go for a run or read a book.
Although doing the latter will make you feel much better than the previous, there's too much friction there for someone who is already slipping down that spiral. In their mind, it's easier to just stay the course and rely on cheap, quick fixes to make them feel good rather than proper, sustainable, long term solutions.
I think it boils down to lack of education and energy. As you know, it's so fucking hard to convince people that the things they are enjoying in the moment are often the worst thing for them long-term. People either don't know the information, or don't want to know because it's inconvenient to them.
Great to hear the nose is getting better how about the rib.

It’s hard to have energy if your brains is heavy and full of crap. Explains why I feel “lighter” after writing.
Writing = exercise for the mind.
But why do you think it becomes a habit? Is it like anything where consuming crap content is a way of avoiding uncomfortable feelings?
