How was your day? Did you experience a juicy, action-packed adventure day with a satisfying ending to your work or school tasks? Did you have nutritious activities and exciting bursts of flavour in your work? It may be too much to ask that every moment of every day be like a delicious meal but you can certainly ‘enjoy’ a day by consuming the right kinds of things from beginning to end, to actually fuel your day with excitement and guilt-free pleasures.
What am I talking about? Start with the thoughts you put in your head when you first wake up. Do you grab the phone or your TV remote? Do you listen to News Radio as you eat breakfast or earlier? This will likely taste like bitter herbs first thing in the morning so you should avoid these things. Drink a plain or slightly salty glass of water to hydrate and wake up your system.
Next, do you eat sugary carbs as your breakfast? I’m talking about checking your twitter feed or FB notifications. It can feel nice and be a treat but you shouldn’t consume this as breakfast just like you shouldn’t consume muffins and pie if you want to fuel yourself with the right things. Make the first meal of your day a mindful gratitude session of no longer than 10 minutes followed by the sunlight and fresh air. These things will feed your soul.
It’s afternoon now and time to consume something else. Do you grab a giant cup of coffee and a big cookie which is what it’s like to gossip with friends and engage in backbiting? Try having a better snack in the form of an inspiring song or poem. How about reading your favourite motivational blog to get energized?
You are winding down the day and it’s time for the final meal. Will you try to drown your stress or worries in some substance which is what it’s like to binge-watch 3 hours of tv at night. Instead, have good conversations for at least 1 hour with someone you care about. Call them on the phone if you can’t meet with them in person. The interactive discussion is more fulfilling than watching hours of streaming video.
So there it is. An idealized Information diet that can transform your day. Why? Because we become like the food and information we regularly consume. I’m assuming you don’t want to become a self-absorbed manic with the constant need for drama. If you want it to be exciting and healthy, make your diet better than it is today. I predict that you will become fitter in your mind and body.
