Thank you for the obvious reminder that what we feed our brains programs them. I avoid the addictive and ‘bad’ things for me by filing them inside tiny folders on my phone, which requires an active intention to find and engage. It works well!
This is so true. I am happier and more optimistic when I choose what I read with more care.
I like social media, because I get to sample what consumes other people. Yet when the algorithm gives me nothing but negativity, I must learn how to zap away in time.
Lusty old Ben provided thought provoking advice to young men on commerce with the fairer sex in his Autobiography. “In all your Amours you should prefer old Women to young ones. You call this a Paradox, and demand my Reasons. They are these.” He then goes on to list his eight reasons, ending with “8thly and Lastly, They are so grateful!!”
I suppose there are a number of reasons why he is considered one of the Founding Fathers, along with George Washington, “who slept here.”
Oh dear. Once again I've spent too much time doing online Sudoku, because it's quick now! Thank you for this timely reminder; my brain is clearly reprogrammed to be able to solve puzzles which involve putting numbers in squares. Not very useful, and I'll resolve here to stop wasting this time!
Recalibrating our brain requires focus and change in environment then we can shape ourselves into new beings without being distracted. This was a good letter
This really made a huge impact on me, thank you for taking the time to write this and inspire other writers with your heartfelt pen to paper. I am truly appreciative of it.
The only piece I object to is that one about “industry.” I am strongly opposed to the idea that we must constantly be doing something considered worthwhile or productive. Your point about don’t confuse motion with action is spot on. But sometimes the answer is sit still and be.
what I luv about Jen Hitze is she obviously deliberates on what she publishes! It is always qualitative not quantitative. She always gives me something to chew on which in this world of fly by night is so eventful. I tip my hat. cheers
Media diet is so important, great job explaining why! Even when we’re aware of the junk going into our brains, it’s still tough to break out of our unhealthy habits.
Btw I can totally relate to the wasteful coffee shop routine! 😂 Setting up an energizing work space at home was such a huge positive change for me.

Benjamin Franklin suggesting Chastity? This feels like Richard Dawkins arguing for piety.

Number 1 is interesting and so true. I would go so far as say create the content that make you feel how you want if you are a creative
'When engaging with popular content, we seldom pause to ask: Is this kind? Is it loving? Is it necessary? Is it true?'
Fully agreed, Jen! We need to especially be concerned and alert on whether such content is factual/true or not.
This type of critical thinking is still sorely lacking in many people.
